@Alorrena: To be fair, I don't think she did it on purpose. She thought I was in the house and has a habit of keeping the door locked and turning off the porch light at night. When she hollered not to open it, it's because she thought I was inside and didn't know who was at the door, and was just being safe.
And god what a pain, I don't want to have to grab my keys and/or phone every time I just run the trash out!

Your mom would have had a meltdown seeing my old apartment--because of my landlord being stupid, I actually had two window-unit A/Cs in one bedroom. (one didn't work afaik) Which sucked because I couldn't open a window on nice days. But it was a really old building so there was no option for 'classy' internal air, and it was Los Angeles so no a/c at all simply wasn't an option for me.
I've never really had a dishwasher; I've lived with people who had them a couple times but they weren't generally people who used them much, mostly did the dishes by hand anyway.
Also our plunger lives next to/behind the toilet because honestly where the hell else is it gonna go? On top of the toilet paper under the sink??
Edit: Oh and regarding sponges, I make a point of setting our sponge on it's edge on the sink so it dries out completely between uses, which helps cut down on bacteria. My roommate has always used a dish cloth, and that's fine, but she's REALLY bad about cooking on/burning food when she cooks, and I was having mini meltdowns trying to do the dishes after she cooked because a dish cloth did NOT get crap off the dishes. So I took to buying my own sponges, which I swap out for new ones when they start to get funky. 🤷♂

Cripps Pink/Pink Lady, 100% the best I've had.
Growing up, Granny Smith were my fave. I'd slice them up really thin and that was my go-to for lunch, along with a sandwich (at least when I was home-schooled).
Now I really want an apple.

This happened a couple hours ago now.
I had just commented, a couple times, that "I'm taking my trash [from dinner] and the recycling out," picked those things up right in front of roommate, and went outside.
I got just over halfway down the sidewalk when the porch light turned off, followed by the sound of the deadbolt locking behind me.
I had to go knock on my own door (to which roommate shouted at me not to open it), wait for her to turn on the light, look out the window to find me glaring over my glasses at her, and then come and unlock the dang door for me!
If I ever wondered if she was paying attention to a word I say, lol.

@Wildfire: I did eventually manage to get to sleep, yeah. Felt pretty crappy all day though, including a headache I couldn't shake for most of it. Fortunately bad ticcing attacks like that don't happen often, no, but they are miserable when they do. There doesn't seem to be anything consistent that triggers it, either--discomfort in general can cause me to tic, so like if the room is too hot or something when I'm trying to sleep I might have trouble. My pain and tics have been a bit worse than usual lately anyway, not sure why. But they don't usually keep me from sleeping. The only thing I've done out of my ordinary in the past few days is take tylenol instead of ibuprofen because I ran out of the latter. So maybe that? I'm not sure. ^^;
Soooo how about that latest gonna-be-a-hurricane-when-it-reaches-us storm? 🙃🙃🙃

I can't sleep. I want to. But my body is too busy being an asshole--that is to say, I'm having really bad motor tics tonight and my meds aren't suppressing them like usual so attempting to sleep leads to me flailing around so much I'm hurting myself. As long as I'm up it's not nearly as severe so here I am, staring at the computer with nothing to do.
Whee.

Holy goddang I'm tired. I got plenty of sleep, took my meds, ate breakfast... still barely managed walking in the pool and biking at the Y. Still made it to two miles on the stationary bike, and at one tick up on the resistance than normal. Trying to work my way up, but I'm so exhausted today I actually straight up stopped pedaling a couple times and had to force myself to resume. ^^;

@Mathonwy: I love kitchen gadgets. And oooh I'm so jealous. I've wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer for YEARS but they're so expensive. ;3; They're a dream purchase for real, though!

@Mathonwy: Zucchini bread is so easy, too! It's really really good. I did have to break down and buy a box grater so I could grate the zucchini though, lol. Totally worth it!

Aw, I love family gatherings but I definitely have a small social battery, so I understand hiding from them. Sometimes when it's too much I'll just park myself in a corner somewhere and observe. :)

@Mathonwy: THAT'S the other name for them! I couldn't remember, lol.
I haven't done pies (yet; I do have a cheesecake recipe I've been dying to try) but I love baking quick breads and cookies. I made zucchini bread from scratch earlier this year and it was sooo good.
And yeah that's the trouble with baking--you bake, but then SOMEone's gotta eat it!

@Mathonwy: Hello! And welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your cancer and hair loss but I'm happy to hear you're doing better! That's a really unusual talent, being able to discern so many apple types! (I didn't even realize there were that many that were that distinct!) Personally, I love Pink Lady apples best, I think.
I love baking, too! What do you like to bake best, anything in particular?
@Wildfire: Well my usual chronic pain did subside after a while (I ended up napping it off) but I've had sciatic nerve pain down both legs out of nowhere today.
Just one of those days I guess. m(____)m
How's your day gone?
