I dropped my iron on the floor and for the past two days, it has been trying to stick to my pants when I iron them. It's a good thing I turn them inside out when I iron them or I would have had to toss them. Guess I will be buying a new iron.
I woke up with a massive hangover this morning at a friend's house and had to rush home (85 miles) to try to beat my housekeeper who was coming at 11, then I had to wait 3 hours for her to clean and leave before I could have a nap!
Instead of posting this sentence, I should be doing my taxes.
You and me both but I always put it off and put it off. There's a different mentality when you know you will be paying in instead of getting a refund! (Another first world problem)

Actually, this is a more common Third and Second World problem. The massive number of poor, uneducated people gives many lower and solidly middle class people the ability to hire help, including cleaners/maids, on a regular basis. More common than found here, at least for most of the country.
I’ve lived in my building since this past summer without ever hearing a fire alarm. This particular building is very old and has been refurbished back into its 1920s style, with a strange intercom system. I was working from home at my desk when a loud recorded male voice began shouting: “An emergency has been detected! Go to your assigned exit and take the stairs to your designated waiting area!” Over, and over.
I’m not easily rattled, I got up, looked at my 2 cats (who keep an eye on me all day now wondering why I don’t go to work) and said: “Come on, it’s a detected emergency, let’s get to our designated area. I’ll follow you, I don’t know where it is.”
Both cats walked ahead of me to the front door. Have they been able to follow instructions, all of this time, and I never knew it?
We rarely get "cold" weather here but last week I had to put on socks and my short booties. Like someone mentioned further up my left sock kept sliding down into my boot till it was a wrinkled base at the bottom of my foot. Pull it up, it slides back down. Did this all damn day. Why just the left foot all the time?
Don't tell anybody but I actually bought a pair of knee hi's for the first time in years. Sometimes it's too cool out to wear nothing with my shoes but not cold enough for socks. At least they are a nude color so you can barely tell I have them on. And I promise never to wear them with a skirt or a dress. :-)
Got a new rug for the bedroom. It's large, which means that we have to dismantle the bed, which is very heavy, to get it under the bed. Oh, and we also have to clean out from under the bed. THE HORROR. No telling what we will find when we do that.
Oh, and then we have to figure out what to do with the old worn out rug, which is also large.
I feel overwhelmed. I'm too old for this crap.
