Seems like the day for activity after yesterday's blustery weather. The sun is making all the difference - that and the yucky feeling after rotmaxxing on YT all day yesterday in bed/on couch.

So far aside from the usual cleaning, have given the air fryer as best a clean as I could (I suspect I need Jif and steel wool to really do the job), and done the big task of the day - cleaning the air purifier filters after over 6 months non stop operation in this awful dusty carpeted place. I should've done it ages ago; there's arcs of very fine dust almost embedded into the plastic of the outer panel that I needed to scrub very hard to get it off. The cleanable parts are getting a good sun propped on my bed after the vacuum and wash. The carbon and HEPA filters probably do need replacing but I'll do it when I get back (just two weeks before I go, seems pointless to replace it now).

I so very deeply miss my plants... sigh...
