my roommate keeps sending not dishwasher safe bowls to break in the dishwasher like he’s the british admiralty in the 1800s sending ships to find the northwest passage

#WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE BOWLS LEFT BC THEY KEPT BREAKING AFTER BEING PUT IN THE DISHWASHER #AND TODAY YOULL NEVER GUESS WHERE I FOUND THE LAST ONE #i wonder why these plastic bowls keep breaking. surely it has nothing to do with instructions on the bottom of them #(circus music starts)#🗺️

T-T oh how I wish I had been able to give myself a monthly hobby budget. A local yarn shop is hosting a sweater yarn dyeing workshop- 5 skeins for $125 CAD, extra skeins $25/per. It's cheaper than their in-house-dyed yarn! AND they still have room!

But alas, I have already pre-spent my birthday, xmas, AND my hubby's birthday budget (with his blessing) plus some of our expected tax return money on Hozier in August.

Plus groceries are going up so our wiggle room is gone. Over $1K CAD a month to feed a family of four! $75 is ordering out ONCE. And we do NOT buy brand names, fancy foods, or meat that's not on sale.

I really hope it happens again next year or something when I might be able to scrounge up some extra cash or I finally find a second job.

#vent post #please don't mind the money venting we're scraping by atm and I know a lot of ppl aren't #I just REALLY need to vent #I'm so lucky to have a job that has insurance bc our meds are $175/month with 90% coverage #and hopefully they start RRSP matching again bc that's the only thing we have going to savings atm for a down payment on a house #we need to buy a shitty house in the next year or two when we get kicked out of affordable housing for making too much #or we'll end up being lifelong renters where rent is easily $2k/month for a 3 bedroom illegal suite and only going up #it's my first ever RRSP or anything so there's only like $1k in there now and we're still dipping in and out of my overdraft #hopefully not for much longer now tho fingers crossed #I want to live somewhere where I don't have daily athsma attacks from an attached neighbor smoking indoors #and where we are allowed to paint the walls and have a dishwasher and clean the airducts and not have original 70s asbestos linoleum liftin #and have a working hot water heater we don't have to trick into heating multiple times a day

the cats alerted us that there's probably mice living under our dishwasher and so we got those live traps where u put peanut butter at one end and it closes when the mouse goes in to eat it.

i checked the traps today and the peanut butter was GONE from two of them!! cleaned out!!!! but no mice!!!!

#at least we know where they are for sure because the other traps nearby werent touched #what do we do nowww #the cats have been camping by the dishwasher almost every night

y/n reader fantasies are a little embarrassing. i admit it. but, my fantasy of becoming tony montana's personal enemy that he always beats up by hand but never kill despite us being opposites in ideology and career is different i swear!!!

#scarface liveblogging #if youre curious here is x reader fanfic lore with him #i met him when he's a dishwasher. we talk and be super close friends. but then turns out im a union man trying to get him to join #so he beats me almost to death #but he still calls me asking me to join his drug business when he's succesful #saying i could be like manny and i could get all the power without being a commie #but yknow. im a union man whose friends are ruined because of cocaine. so i say no and beat him up this time #he's angry but couldnt bring himself to kill me #so he tries to stay away. but we keep crossing paths because he's a business and a drug lord #while im in a union and is trying to build something to reduce the cocaine epidemic #so we have semi regular hate dates where we meet in a random spot and beat each other senseless both physically and verbally #the winner gets to rob the pockets and wallets of the loser #we had sex once or twice #whenever he gets too stressed and paranoid he calls me to a neutral place. i wouldnt go to the fancy places he likes #im the only clear cut enemy he has. so he kept asking me why im the way i am. and i do the same. trying to understand ourselves by #examining our opposites. of course this conversation is filled with hostility and insults #we'll get each other so worked up one of us would punch each other. the other would start to leave #but one of use would pull back #and the fighting would turn into a full on make out session #we would have super violent dubiously safe sex #he wll give me an std

#best news I've had in years #roomies job suddenly boosted his pay massively #which means we can start looking for a better flat with more space (privacy!!)#and a dishwasher (life changing for the busy disabled!)#i no longer will have to live in a flat where the landlord actively ignores our texts re: illegal home disrepair #or the gd ants because he won't get the place sealed.#patio for my plants ;u; room for cat tree!!

might move houses next month, in preparation for a bigger move next year... my autism does not like it

#currently living in a tiny house (probably under 10 square meters but we've never measured properly)#we've been living here for a year and its a very cute house #but it has many problems such as not being properly heat insulated #which means during winter we burn a lot of electricity trying to heat it up #it also has mold that we keep killing but it keeps coming back #and the lack of space is starting to get to me #like we have one cooking pot and one frying pan cause we don't have where to keep more....#no oven no microwave no dishwasher no bookshelves no workdesk #just bed. one table with two chairs. some drawers for clothes. kitchen. bathroom #that's it #so basically it was a good temporary house #but not a long term solution #it was also stocked with either furniture our neighbors donated to us #or like the cheapest furniture we could find online #so it really wasnt meant to last #but the big move keeps being delayed so we stayed here #and yeah i wanna move but i also got really attrached to this place #now basically we want to move to a different apartment for the winter and probably most of spring #while it will be cold #and hopefully next summer the big move is gonna happen #but i don't know #i don't like chaos and unpredictability...#personal #random

I've always had chronic fatigue. I remember being twelve, and an adult mentioned how I couldn't possibly know how tired they felt because adulthood brought levels of exhaustion I couldn't imagine. I thought about that for days in fear, because I couldn't remember the last time I didn't feel tired.

Eventually I came to terms with the fact that I was just tired, and I couldn't do as many things as everyone else. People called me lazy, and I knew that wasn't true, but there's only so many times you can say "I'm tired" before people think it's an excuse. I don't blame them. When a teenager does 20 hours of extracurriculars every week and only says "I'm too tired" when you ask them to do the dishes, it's natural to think it's an excuse. At some point, I started to think the same thing.

It didn't matter that I could barely sit up. It was probably all in my head, and if I really wanted to, I could do it.

When I learned the name for it, chronic fatigue, I thought wow, people that have that must be miserable, because I am always tired and I cannot imagine what it would feel like if it were worse.

Spoiler alert, if you've been tired for a decade, it's probably chronic fatigue.

Once I figured that out though, I thought of my energy as the same as everyone else's, just smaller in quantity. And that might be true for some people, but I've figured out recently that it absolutely isn't true for me.

I used to be like wow I have so much energy today I can do this whole list for sure! And then I'd do the dishes and have to lay down for 2 hours. Then I'd think I must gave misjudged that, I didn't have as much energy as I thought.

But the thing is - I did have enough energy for more tasks, I just didn't go about them properly.

With chronic fatigue, your maximum energy is obviously much smaller than the average person's. Doing the dishes for you might use up the same percentage of energy that it takes to do all the daily chores for someone else.

If someone without chronic fatigue was to do all the daily chores, they would take breaks. Because otherwise, they're sprinting a marathon for no reason and it would take way more energy than necessary. We have to do the same.

Put the cups in the dishwasher, take a break. Put the bowls in, take a break. So on and so forth. This may mean taking breaks every 2-5 minutes but afterwards, you get to not feel like you've run a marathon while carrying 4 people on your back.

Today, I had a moderate amount of energy. Under my old system of go till you drop, I probably could have done most of the dishes and wiped off the counter and then been dead to the world for the rest of the day.

Under the new system, I scooped litter boxes, cleaned out the fridge, took the trash out, cleaned the stove, and wiped off the counter and did all the dishes. And after all that, I still had it in me to make a simple dinner, unload the dishwasher, and tidy the kitchen.

It was complete and utter insanity. Just because I sat down whenever I felt myself getting more tired than I already was.

All this to say, take fucking breaks. It's time to unlearn the ceaseless productivity bullshit that capitalism has shoved down our throats. Its actively counterproductive. Just sit down. Drink some water. Rest your body when it needs to rest.

There will still be days where there is nothing to do but rest, and days where half a load of dishes is absolutely the most I can do. But this method has really helped me minimize those, which is so incredibly relieving.

signs your mother may be a sim:

she insists the abnormally large kitchen is completely unusable due to one (1) baking sheet and a pair of oven mitts

#moi #salt is salt #she bitched at me over the pan in the sink. and was like ‘HERE. i’ll clean up FOR you.’#and moved the pan. from the sink where it was soaking. to the dishwasher.#not only did she not need the sink. WE HAVE A DOUBLE SINK.#literally nothing was in her way.#but god forbid ANYONE who isn’t her leave anything on the counter

we pay way too much a month for the amount of mouse shit germs we be breathing in daily

#I think something died under our dish washer cause there’s a smell #we did some digging under the sink where we knew we had a mouse problem but it’s way worse than we realized & obvious the land lord just #stuck a piece of ply wood over it & called it good #if the smell is worse today I’ll have to spend tomorrow cleaning & making the house landlord ready so he can come check under the dishwasher #because we tried to pull it out but it’s in there weird #but I can’t be home when he comes by because he thinks I’m a woman & I pass way too well now #I want to move but out lease doesn’t end until end of January #gonna start saving what I can so maybe we can move out before Xmas #we can afford a better place but it’s gonna be tight #I’m just sick of spending so much $ on bug & vermin maintenance #& it’s worse cause I’m not comfy having landlord around cause where we live & the trans thing #I need to legally change my name before we move to next place so it’s not an issue #cryptid rants

as a society i dont think we talk enough about the culture clash between ‘dirty dishes go beside the sink’ and ‘dirty dishes go in the sink’ people also here is a poll about it. you can put your rationale in tags i guess
