When your neighbors are having a fight and she's screaming at him and it's clear that he fucked up, and you're trying not to listen, but also making sure to pay close enough attention so you'll know if you need to de-escalate. #adulting
Alright mastodon, hit me with your best knowledge:
What is the most effective, fastest toilet bowl cleaner you got? I got scrubbers, they only work ok, and they RUST.
I got those blue/bleach top tank thingies, I can't even tell if they help. They leave blue streaks and there's still gunk from the top of the bowl water holes.
I tried those stick-on gel things, also didn't seem to do much. And even manual work with a sponge and cleaner isn't perfect
We just finished painting the living room. Adulting on a holiday weekend is great. 👍🤬 I told my wife this is blasphemy, my working on New Year's Eve's Eve.
Today is day 8 of my 18-day resting and healing vacation. I’m partway through my adulting for the day. Taking a break to sit since there has been more standing/walking than I can handle.
I cannot wait to be one with the convalescing couch.
Hello friends, I hope you're all having a good Hump Day! Mine is pretty good, I'm off work. We bought a new stove today with delivery this coming Saturday. It was under $1k for the stove, delivery and hauling away the old one. It could have been worse, my wife loved this BlueStar commercial model, it was on sale for $10k...
Have a great afternoon, I'm off to help my wife with a project.
New hot water bottles arrived! They have cute little sweaters to keep them extra warm. 🤩 Now me and the kids each have our own again.
An unexpected new delight: Michelle Sagara's Shards of Glass. Magic school/dark academia, and no need to have read anything else set in that world first. Loving it!
Fiiiinally got my market list out, and replied to a few long-overdue emails. #Adulting.
The cats (Oreo and Mr Minx) took down our wall tree last night, maybe they hate Christmas. So today I have to figure out a new Christmas tree for the house. I'm thinking wire might be the answer.
I don't know who needs to hear this but it is completely OK for you as an adult to buy yourself an advent calendar.
Any kind. Not just makeup or whiskey. You can buy a calendar with Spiderman toys if that's what you want. It's kind of the entire point of being an adult.
(Also, if you did buy a fun calendar, and you want to nerd out about it, please share :) )

Join us next time when Gina learns to count to 10. #travel#adulting
