chickentimeschickenways1. Move your space heater into the icy bathroom during your shower, so you don't find yourself avoiding basic hygiene as a way to conserve body heat.
2. Aluminum-based deodorant will stain your clothing! Discover this after every shirt you own is already gray around the pits. Buy expensive coconut oil-based deodorant and pray that this helps. Google "sweat stains" instead of "deodorant stains" for ways to fix this, because peeps are in denial.**
3. If you only have five dishes, the sink can never be that full.*
4. Cookies are acceptable breakfast. Cookies are acceptable dinner. Look, you just have to get through the winter, okay?
5. Trader Joe's sells lots of holiday food in tins. You can USE these tins, friendo. Mice are your enemy! Prepare!
6. Don't bother trying to kill the silverfish; they were here first, and they'll be here after you too.
* This is a slight exaggeration. I have two mugs, two glasses, two plates, a frying pan, a cutting board, a saucepan, and tupperware.
** If sweat stained your clothes, the entire back of every single one of my t-shirts would be gray. We had a hot summer, folks. Shrug.

Date: 2018-12-13 05:26 pm (UTC)I would doubtless feel differently if they had infiltrated my room, but for the time being they mostly live in the kitchen and bathroom. Which . . . kinda gross, but not as bad as cockroaches or mice?
This is probably more about my desire to avoid engagement with the many-legged crawly thing than any noble resignment . . ,
hIGHLY SUSPICIOUS
