I can’t believe it’s already Easter. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YKlw1LLPvJo
Cleaning
Checking the Bissels at the GGs. Powerforce Pet is $299 at the moment ~~and another with steam is $479~~ (hard floor cleaner)… ending April 8. Vax compact carpet washer is $219. The Kmart generic is $119 which is more my budget but I wonder about the vacuum quality and therefore the water removal and drying.
Hate having carpet. Whose idea was this? Considering just spraying it down with diluted benzalkonium chloride from one of those big sprayers or using a cheap handheld steamer bought off eBay. But it is kinda grubby and I’m a bit worried about leaving on the toxic to cats carpet foam spray I used 😕
TW grief/mental health
Grief has combined with everything else going on and has pushed me into an actual mental health crisis. I’m getting help and all but my god this sucks. I just wish it would end.Starting Endep at a very low dose to try and dull this abdominal pain because it’s worsened under stress and so severe I can barely eat.
