the smell is back. round 2: ground coffee ☕
It took many repeats of wiping down the dresser with vinegar & lemon mixed with water to give her a decent clean (it used to be in a room where people smoked), but after about 3 hours I got rid of most of the smell and brown tarnish 🍋
Dusk lighting doesn't do her justice, so I'll take some pictures tomorrow :) she's a beauty!

guys, gals & pals - all the moving boxes are gone! ❤
tomorrow my brother and dad are dropping off my mom's thrifted vintage dresser. we're planning to put it against this wall in our living room.
I'm just sooo happy the mess is gone :)

Man, have I got a double whammy for you 😂
I was looking for a Christmas present for my in-laws. The second hit made me cringe and laugh so hard.
Now, look closely at the name... 😭😂
Ho-ho-holy shit 🎅🏻🦌

One of our smoke detectors kept blaring every 10-20 minutes for almost 2 hours. Babe finally managed to rip it off the ceiling to turn it off. We tried cleaning it, resetting it, testing it - nothing worked. Tomorrow we're putting up another one.
About an hour before it started the power went off. We think it's because we were using the oven and airfryer (next to an open door and window) at the same time and it short circuited. We just flipped a switch in the fuse box and it was fine. The smoke detector also runs on a (lithium) battery, so it isn't connected to the power grid and the battery isn't replaceable. There's also a smoke detector upstairs in the stairwell, not separated by any doors or walls whatsoever, and that one hasn't gone off.
My body is tense and my mind is racing. I can't seem to get myself out of fight-or-flight mode. Was this just weird timing? Was it airfryer fumes? But then why didn't the second one go off? Pfff...
I totally don't feel at ease right now, lol :')

I tried to put privacy window film on the hobby room window and twice it collected big pockets of air on one side overnight.
I used window cleaner to prep the entire window and sprayed it with plenty of water before applying the film. Then babe says:
'Honey, I know this is a dumb question, but did you remove the backing foil?'

Hey, if you’re not as mentally quick as you used to be because of your illness- that’s okay. If you’re can’t think as fast or handle as many tasks that’s okay. You aren’t stupid, you aren’t unintelligent, and you aren’t less worthy of love or respect. It’s okay that your brain won’t or can’t go back to how it used to be. It’s different now, but it’s okay.
