eBay, hell, at $350 you might as well buy a 3D printer and have at it.

I really hate this. Our ice maker broke in our last house, and the part to fix it was like $250. Plus the ice bin was cracked, so I’d need a new one for another $80, or to repair the existing one with epoxy or fiberglass or whatever. I just said screw it, removed the whole thing, got some ice trays.

I have learned to hate all things Sears, Kenmore, Craftsman, etc. I am convinced that they intentionally sell substandard, inexpensive merchandise on the hope that you have to repair and replace often. Decades ago, my dad was a dedicated Sears shopper. Now, I won’t spend a dime there.
This is how mine is too. Right next to the mailbox at the curb
Got the water main all fixed up, got a flat tire today. Grrrrrr.

My mental health is really suffering the last couple weeks. I think I’m going to work from home tomorrow and try to power through it.
My kids are recovering from colds that none of us (me, dad, stepson’s mother who catches any cold within a mile of her) caught. They’re almost back to 100% now but the fact no one else got sick makes me think there’s a small chance it was covid. So I probably shouldn’t be going into the office until they’re a few days out from any symptoms anyway.
At least that’s what I’m telling myself to justify wanting to curl into a ball and not do my hair or makeup.

If I was concerned about this, I’d take the kids for a COVID test just for peace of mind.

Yeah, CVS has an easy nasal swab (not the brain tickling kind) and same-day appointments.
Go ahead and take a full-on sick day if that’s what you need though. Or half-sick, half work-from-home. If I’m truly sick that’s what I usually end up doing. I’m rarely so sick that I can’t sleep late, log in and work from 10-12, then take a 3.5 hour movie/lunch/nap break, then work from 3:30-5:30.

There’s a sun spot right in the middle of my only good eye and I can barely see what I’m typing rn.
At least I hope it’s just a sun spot.
Okay not a sun spot - kaleidoscoping happening. Excuse me while I go lie down.

They are closing the local branch of my gym b/c they didn’t pay their rent. I’ve been going there for over 10 years.
I can still use other locations, but this one both fits my needs (Olympic platform, multiple squat racks, relatively cheap) and very convenient (less than 3 miles away).
No other gyms w/in 5 miles ticks off all the same boxes.
Boat launches. Why is everyone an aggressive ahole.

I had a bunch of annoyed thoughts today.
Early this morning I was taking my dog out in the backyard. I have some stone steps leading down to the yard that were wet, and my feet completely slipped out from under me. I’m going to have some nice bruises on my forearm and back.
Then I was driving for a while on a crowded highway with 2 lanes each direction. When there is a lot of traffic, it only takes one slow driver “erosing” and hanging out in the left lane to mess up traffic for miles.
Then I got home to find a jury summons.
Dude, you need some scotch
I appreciate this neologism.
I’m sorry for your bad day, Mr Arthritis.
I like erose. He was a good poster. This was his worst take ever that I can remember, and a bizarre hill to die on.

Got into a conversation online with somebody who was concerned she has the same chronic disease as me. Told her she needs to get tested and on a doctor approved course of maintenance medication ASAP. She’s staunchly telling me that she doesn’t believe in doctors and is only looking for advice about herbs, fish oil, tumeric, etc.
Told her I hope for her sake she’s wrong about the disease before she ends up in the hospital and dies early.
