i took yesterday off, and it's amazing how much you get done when it's not a weekend day and you know you won't be hanging out at a coffee shop or shopping or chilling with the girls.
i did three things that i have been putting off for months:
1. changed the battery in my remote control. for almost 2 years, i've had to hit the tv at JUST the right angle to change the channel or the volume. in the last couple of months, it's been completely hit or miss. sometimes i have to hit power 12 times to get it to shut off, and then i'm overzealously hitting it and i turn it off and on again and then repeat the cycle. finally i'd get frustrated and just turn it off manually as i walked by to go to bed. now i can turn it off/on from just about anywhere in my living room and dining room. magic - all for the cost of $4.79.
2: i pulled the hair out of my bathtub drain. i did this when i first moved in, again, nearly 2 years ago. except that was SUPER gross because it probably hadn't been done in several years and through several tenants. i'm always amazed at the amount of hair i lose when i shower. i've taken to pasting it on the shower wall for disposal later so as to not add to the giant hair clog i knew was forming and delay having to dig it out. sometimes i pull out these super coarse really dark ones, which is crazy because i really am blond. but not to worry, i have loads of hair *on my head*. more hair than the average human actually *on my head*. which is why it didn't surprise me when i pulled out about half a head of it from my shower drain. but today? no 3 inches of water by my feet. magic. all for about 10 minutes of time and $2 in rubber gloves.
3. i replaced the battery in the wall clock i can see from my bathroom when i'm getting ready in the morning. it's been 10:15 for about 5 months, with a twitchy little second hand that jerks but never moves ahead. now i have no excuse when i'm late for work. all for, well, i stole the battery out of something else, so really, now i have to buy more. but i'm thinking of going rechargeable. it's the right thing to do.
