@cecsquared Not necessarily day one, but if you have time, deep clean before you move anything in, especially if there’s carpet that’s staying. It’s so much easier if the house is empty and unpacking can go faster because all the cupboards and closets are clean.
@pjfahey Honestly surprised that there wasn't some kind of "We've set a goal of raising <insert amount here> to show the pope that you want me to have my faculties back. Donate now!" ask at the end.
@KaylaAncrum There was some horror movie in the 90s that had a garbage disposal scene. I've never been able to put my hand down one since. Grown ass adult and I'm calling my dad to snag a bottle cap out of the garbage disposal. 🥲 My current house not having one was a big selling point.
@the_transit_guy I did a meal service for about a year. It got me back in the habit of regular cooking and I learned a bunch of new recipes. I eased back into regular meal planning and prep and I rarely have food waste now.
@emzanotti Costco for sheets. West Elm for duvet cover. Check the clearance if you aren’t locked in on a particular style. I got mine for 70% off. It’s like sleeping with a cloud!
@tig327@emzanotti I would have agreed with this until about 6 months ago. The last two sets I bought were poorly constructed, wouldn’t stay on at the corners, and were scratchy even after multiple washes.
@chadwifeyeet After my mom died, my dad switched to envelopes of cash. The siblings get small gifts off a wish list for the nibblings. This year we went in together and got family zoo memberships at my SILs request. Easy, low stress. 10/10 would recommend.
@PappaSciarappa@johnamonaco Because despite saying they are faith centered, Catholic schools are high-end private schools where sports and academics/college admissions drive policy and practice. Faith and religious practice is far down the list.
@Y6MrsM I made that decision almost 10 years ago now and I'm so much happier and healthier than I would have been if I had stayed. Wishing you the best as you move to something new!
