There is a functional limit at which I cannot do more laundry in a day. That limit is currently 7 full loads. My feet are sore from all the walking.
But I washed blankets, sheets, mattress pad, all the towels, bathroom rugs, and 2 loads of clothes.
I'm not cooking for Thanksgiving. Simon's mom invited herself, so Simon said, "We'll go out." He'd rather pay the exorbitant prices hotels charge than to make me suffer, which is kind of him.
Other than the carpets which still need shampooing, my apartment is clean. The cleaner showed up 2 hours after the expected time (and that was fair because Simon told her "anytime after 11" but next time we're going to be more specific) so instead of being up and down with the laundry, I was folding and putting away. Because I can't just sit on my ass and watch TV while someone else is doing my jobs even if I'm paying them to do them. I have to make myself useful or I feel like a slacker. What this means is more than twice as much stuff gets done though, so it's definitely worthwhile.
I caught myself wanting a Kindle Fire yesterday. But that was before my brain caught up. 8 hours? Maximum battery life is 8 hours? I'd have to recharge between every book. I'm a heavy Kindle "3" user now and I have to charge it every 3 weeks. I'm pretty sure color is not worth the inconvenience of needing to charge it all the time.
If you're going to shave your head, I recommend not doing it at the start of winter.
I recently started subscribing to local Groupon emails. I have to say that I hate that the deals I'm most interested in seem to be 2 people for the price of 1. I have time in the early afternoon most weekdays. I can squeeze something in during the morning on a weekday with some advanced notice. Evenings require pre-planning because Simon needs feeding and I have to make sure he knows he's getting home on his own. Weekends aren't impossible but everything is so crowded I tend not to try. But my set of local friends is small. My set of local friends with free time during the day who have money to do things (even discounted things) is non-existent. So it feels like they're taunting me, "See how people with friends pay less than you? We base our pricing on popularity so you are disadvantaged. We don't want you as a customer."
Today I discovered "I cud haz cheezburger." Even though my lunch was ridiculously late (enough so that I doubt we'll have dinner since Simon had just eaten when I asked if I should skip lunch or go at 3pm) I was able to get exactly what I wanted. I wanted a cheeseburger and fries and a milkshake. I can't eat all that anymore, but I ordered it all and took it home so the people who made my food wouldn't see me giving up halfway through.
There hasn't been a health update because nothing has happened.
ps. I hate richtext mode.
