Feeling like messaging my old boss in Saskatoon like "you were the best I ever had"

My boss installed cameras in pretty much every room in our building AND they recorded audio (which I'm pretty sure isn't legal??).
He's said a few things that have made it pretty clear he will just watch and listen to us whenever he has spare time. It's giving me the ick??

I've seen some people recommend against the 2 in 1 machines on Reddit so it's nice to hear from someone I actually know with experience with them!

They seem like a good option in an ADHD household. How do they hold up with large items like blankets and stuff??

This is good to know because I was leaning towards getting a machine secondhand - I'll definitely avoid front loaders if we go that route!!

Yeah, I think the most common complaint I've seen about them is that you have to be really careful to avoid mold and mildew issues

I guess my next task as a 'homeowner' is to get really invested in top vs. front loader discourse.

I'm leaning towards another top-loader but feel free to share your thoughts here

My washing machine is making noises that make me believe she doesn't have much time left with us

Two old wooden shelves, the smaller top one has 4 medium size generic toy horses, and a handful of Breyer Stablemates.
The lower shelf has Breyer Model #577 (Spirit), Breyer Model #141 (Grazing Mare), and a third generic brand horse. There are several Breyer Mini Winnies underfoot. Hardcopy copies of Anna Sewell's "Black Beauty", Elyne Mitchell's "Silver Brumbies of the South" and "The Colt at Taparoo", and finally Helen Griffiths' "The Wild Horse of Santander"  are stood up behind these horses

Finally installed a shelf for my toy horses. You may notice some large gaps. Those are for manifesting more toy horses.

Getting into what I call "zoo meals" where my plate looks like something you'd feed a beloved ape or perhaps a bear

I don't even care if they're hanging out on the exterior of my house or minding their own business in my basement but I don't want them in my bed or in my kitchen!!

Living in a 113 year old house that's impossible to seal up has really challenged my "never kill any bugs ever!!" approach to life. I kill maple bugs every day now. I don't know how to keep them out without harming other invertebrates

Spray painted some costume stuff downstairs and then hand washed a wig in the bathroom with (perhaps too much) fabric softener and now my entire house smells insane

I just watched my cat just fail to jump onto our knee high couch on the first try. I've seen cats missing whole body parts more capable than this guy.

Quick doodle of Barbra Streisand because I just discovered who she is and I've never seen a face that needs to be drawn more than hers. More to come, hopefully
