#household problems

[subnautica-reviews]

So personal problem. I life on the Campo in south Spain and we use gas canisters to heat our water. It hasn’t been working recently, most likely due to a lack of pressure in the canister. We have to shake them around to get enough gas into our boiler. This hasn’t been working too well either. We have tried out a different solution: the dreaded upside down gas bottle, but this one caused a flame so big it almost caused our kitchen to explode. If anyone has any suggestions on what to try next i would appreciate it!

Roach

I have come to respect the impressive ability the cockroach has to follow me wherever I go. No, I am not kidding. Cockroaches have lived in every house I have lived in. I guess I should be flattered that they appreciate my taste. It is, I hasten to say, an adversarial relationship we’ve always had. They attempt to overrun every room in the house while I stand by with a can of Raidto fire at…

Unclogging the sink is always a gamble; will this remedy make it better? Or worse?

Queen of Konmari Challenge Stage 3: Papers

Papers, please! #konmari #homeorganisation #tidying

Okay, I admit that I was really dreading this stage of the Konmari process, for the following reasons: I would have to open up and empty out all the cupboards and drawers in the study room. It just seemed like sorting through years of papers would just be interminable. In actual fact, it was not as bad as I expected, although I did get very familiar feeling of self-loathing after the first hour…

Bleck

So apparently one of my neighbours is airing out their weed-smoke-filled house or something. Of course today was the day I was airing out my bedroom, went about to do chores and came back upstairs thinking ‘what’s that smell....?’ Then I went to empty out the recycle bin, and jeez the stench. I mean seriously. I ended up coming upstairs to close the window, did so, puttered around a bit scrunching up my nose, and thought ‘jeez it smells in here, I should open the window- oh wait’. -_-

Don’t get me wrong, weed is a mild drug and for me its on the same sorta ledge as cigarettes for me - I don’t care about whatever legality bullshit is going on about such a mild and generally positive-effect drug, but I fucking hate the smell of it. Incidentally I dislike cigarettes and cigars for the same reason, but even they tend to be less pungent.

The cats are enjoying it though -_- they’re curled up together in my bed, where normally they don’t like to be so close together and nip at eachother and stuff. So at least they’re mellowed out >_>”

The Queen of Konmari: 5 Tips to Getting Started

Okay, I’ve been starting to tidy up and organise the house according to the Konmari method for a few weeks now, and I am happy to report that things are progressing. It is not easy, but I am sticking to it.  I think the reason that I am sticking to it is because I managed to figure out a way to do it without getting too overwhelmed. Additionally, I found that there was a great deal of inertia…
