Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have cousins arriving this weekend, and it would be dandy if my place was clean, and yet.
I'm up for a round of Onerous Tasks Accountability if you want to play...
I need to:
Call Xfinity and have them reboot my WiFi.
Open all my tax mail and send off checks.
Clean the Guinea Pig cage.
If I do all three of those before Pilates I would rate a freakin' Gold Star.
Huh, the two Carl's Jrs that were convenient to me have closed. I know they are one of the more evil fast food chains, but I went to one of those closed locations because the regular worker I always saw was so very nice supporting her having a job seemed like a good tradeoff. I hope she got transferred somewhere or got a better job. Other than cashing in my free rewards I have no incentive to go there anymore, especially as they are all out of my way to get to.
So Barbetta is closing and its a place I always meant to go but never did. So I'm taking a shot at going. Wish me luck!
I have braved the Xfinity phone tree, and they can't fix it remotely. So now I have a tech visit planned for tomorrow.
But I did The Thing.
Task #1: completed. (Problem, still not resolved yet.)
Going to attempt cleaning the pig cage next.
That will require administering Second Coffee.
Wow, fancy, Trudy. Go, you, trying to have a "Bear" moment, IRL. Good, Hec, cable company onerous should count twice.
Good luck, Trudy! 120 years, pretty good! Piemonte, I think that's where the branch of my family but is Italian but the names sound Austrian is from. Anyway, looking at the menu I'm guessing narrowing down what eat will be a challenge
BTW, it is a pretty nice day at this end of the bay as well. No blue skies, but excellent views of the bridges across the straits, and poppies blooming which always looks extra nice on overcast days
I have done the pig cage!
And I have sorted my mail, and I will open it before I go to Pilates and then I will deal with the actionable items. (Mostly making payments and cashing checks.)

Gold star onerousing!

Indeed. ⭐️
I called Spectrum and put my internet in NY on vacation mode, which should have been done several months ago, but apparently didn't happen. Super annoyed that I paid for internet on a place with no power for 4 months. I took it off autopay so at least I will know if I neglect to turn it off again.
Dusted, swept, and cleaned the floor in the hallway, which was in dire need. Also, cleaned the door jamb, which had accumulated many moons, or perhaps years, of handprints.
Still on today's list are dishes, kitty litter replacement, feeding animals, and taking Skinner to the dog park.
I also attended the condo board meeting and might take over the social committee responsibilities. Still mulling it, but told them I would consider it. They have been pushing me to do this for some time.
