Mundane stuff
9 October 2022 09:24Seeing so many autumn pictures on the TL makes me soooo happy. Aside from a couple of near-80 blips this week, it's been delightfully fall weather and I found my Halloween wreath to put on my door. Unfortunately my back went to hell mid-week and while I'd like to go out today, I'm going to play it safe and stick around home since I have a busy week ahead.
Around noon today, I have Emily's niece coming by to help me clean out all the kitty boxes and take out multiple loads of trash (mostly due to the kitty box cleaning, obviously) and recycling to the dumpsters. She's a good kid and I make sure to pay her well for the help. It always feels better to have that taken care of for at least a month. Yesterday I changed my sheets and did a light vacuuming so that the place starts to feel like someone not so out of commission lives here.
Yesterday, I noticed a pop-up from Rakuten for 10% cash back on many stores so I went to check to see if any of my regulars were on there. I ended up getting two pairs of the orthotic slippers from Vionic that I wear around the house. They're not cheap, but they cured my plantar fasciitis as well as with kitties, litter gets everywhere and I'd rather not walk on it. I found two colors that were far cheaper than the others and honestly, who the heck is looking at my slippers? This morning I also got some stuff from Vitacost which was also on the 10% cash back deal that I needed. I'm not sure if the hemp oil is helping much but it's not hurting so I'll keep taking it for a while. Also, this week I added konjac rice 50/50 with regular rice and taste-wise I couldn't tell the difference. It slashes the calorie and carb count so I got a couple more bags to keep doing that with since I'm all about rice bowls and sushi/kimbap. I haven't tried making kimbap rolls with it yet but it is sticky so I anticipate that it will work well.
