Wed. Jan. 14, 2026: Vacuums and Laundry

Wednesday, January 14, 2026

Waning Moon

Uranus and Jupiter Retrograde

Cloudy and raw

Slogging through the week, here. Yesterday seems like it was far away, somehow.

I did hearth and home stuff, like putting the dinner in the crockpot, dealing with some email, doing some filing, creating the questions for the #FreelanceFriends chat I’m hosting on February 5, taking out a lot of garbage, and finally putting together the new vacuum. Of course, the directions were wrong, and they didn’t mention connecting a rather important hose, but I figured it out.

And it works really well. I spent about 90 minutes vacuuming, which is a good session to get things done for a place of this size, although I’ll leave deep corners and moldings for the deep spring clean in early March. But it does a good job. Tessa, Bea, and Charlotte hid while I worked, but Willa kept pointing out where I missed a spot. The vacuum doesn’t faze her at all.

In the afternoon, there was a webinar with the Author’s Guild about the current Anthropic Settlement. Chances are there will be more suits, since there was a cutoff date and not everyone’s books that were stolen (per the ATLANTIC database) made it into the suit. So there’s a lot of paperwork and a lot of hoops. But it was good to get the information and know the steps.

After that, I did a little prep work for the next ghostwriting assignment, which is due on the 21st.

And then it was time to head out for yoga. The sidewalks were pretty clear, except for a few patches, and I got up there easily. I’d considered skipping it, because the thought of hauling myself out of the house was a lot, but I’m glad I did. We all needed it. One of my fellow yogis is going through a tough patch right now and works almost across the street from me, so I told her if she ever needs to take a break and decompress, to come over, have a cup of tea, and a cat on her lap. At least she knows she has that, if things continue down the current path.

Home, and it was lovely to have the crockpot meal waiting. It was pork chops with apples that had been cut up and mixed with brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, cinnamon, and ginger. It was good, but I think I would either cook it for a shorter period, or put just a bit more liquid in with it.

And yes, more leftovers. I won’t cook much next week, because we have to eat down the leftovers.

I read in the evening and played with Bea, who wanted extra attention. The catnip crayons are a big hit with all of them. Thank you, Auntie Chris!

Woke up a little after 3 again, and got up around 5 to get the morning routine going and to get things out to the laundromat. Two loads, they’ve raised the prices again, and it’s kind of ridiculous. But we have clean clothes.

It’s easier to fight the world burning down in clean underwear.

Next week will mostly be fabrics from the holidays and the usual sheets and towels, so it shouldn’t be too bad. After breakfast, I will fold things up and put them away. I also have to unbag the 16 pounds of dry food into jars. The little monsters finished everything. They were very happy to be fed at 5 AM this morning, though.

Tessa was waiting for me at the front door when I got back from the laundromat to tell me everything that happened in the hour I was gone. Tessa is rarely down at the door, so it was pretty funny.

Also on today’s agenda: asking my state elected officials to vote “no” on a particular bill, and get on them for not doing enough to protect citizens against the cosplaying domestic terrorists; get on my federal officials (again); work on the galleys for VICIOUS CRITIC; work on the next ghostwriting assignment; work on the next book for review.

I’d rather take a nap.

Have a good one.

2026 for me is about implementing task management systems that work with my brain. I have a deep desire for a meaningful life. Laundry may not seem very meaningful but it is a part of the journey.. An unpleasant one, perhaps.. But the process of making meaning is not an easy one for me and I doubt it ever will be. That's part of what makes it satisfying.

I was going to do a 15 minute HIIT workout but, instead, decided to be way more hardcore and just get the king duvet back into the freshly laundered cover.

Mom realizes she's been using the 'heavy' setting on her washer wrong for years—and fellow moms are shook

Two different types of loads for each individual in the house - we all do our own laundry
- towels and sheets etc. together
- clothes together but bras etc. in delicate bags (we have 3)

So I got a #clothes steamer and it is like, 50% magic. I get stuff about 75% less wrinkly, though it does take a lot longer than I would like.

Will stuff stay unwrinkled for a while, or should I expect to have to do this after every dryer load? (Because I am not doing that, lol)

I buy my #socks in pairs, I wear my socks in pairs, I put my socks in the #laundry together and I still get odd socks.

I sort of understand this, but how the hell does it happen to my #pantyhose?

i think this is what’s known as “stacking” ??

not only did i put the warm laundry on the kitty to increase his joy quotient but then i put the cold eggs from the refrigerator INTO the laundry heap to warm them slightly for baking purposes

Why is it that in a video game if I put my laundry away within one day of having done it I get an achievement, but if I do it in real life, I'm told that's what's expected of a functioning adult? #adulting #laundry #videogames
