well my mom came by and so the rest of onerous task kinda got derailed, but I have picked up mac + playdate from school, so now I am on more task duties.
- washed dishes in sink and cleaned out one litter box

And a bankruptcy adviser.
Bankruptcy can be a blessing. The judge at our hearing actually looked happy to be dealing with Hubby and me, because we weren't trying to scam our way to keeping two houses, a boat, and an extra SUV to pull the snowmobile trailer. We just wanted to get out from under over $100,000 in medical bills. (Though I did pay the bankruptcy filing fees with a credit card that had room on it that I knew was about to be erased.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I did my Onerous Task earlier today! Which was take the phone call from the recruiter from my previous agency and say "I'm already working with another agency about the vendor position. No, I am not prepared to discuss what hourly rate I want. Nope, I didn't sign a non-compete with your company."
That sort of phone call, before I've had any tea or coffee? Onerous, believe me.
But I also sent email to my current agency letting them know about the previous one, and answered an email from my (former and future) boss, giving her the contact info for my current recruiter.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
sigh.
making a cake was supposd to be onerous because i 'm making it to say good bye to my book club kids. Not because I can't find the frigging recipe.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I did the dishes add-on to my onerous tasks. In about 10 minutes I'll be taking the cat to the vet for his annual check up, but that's more onerous for him than for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Official figures on bankruptcies calculate at least half of all US filings are due to medical bills.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am working from home tomorrow and Friday, so that onerous task is out of the way.
I should take lunch.

I forget where I heard this (and what country it was) but someone European was saying that if one person went bankrupt in their country due to medical bills, it would be a huge scandal.
