I work from home. My longtime house-cleaner commented with surprise that I actually brushed my hair today and put on a nice shirt.

I had a zoom meeting. I did not wear pants.

An internet outage is blocking my ability to vacuum

There is a home internet outage in my area since Saturday (5 days & counting). I only post this due to an ethernet cable.

My room is getting filthy, but it has been a long time since my robot vacuum was used, so I have to resync it to the home Wi-Fi. Except, I can't, because of the outage. So now I'm stuck with an empty room.

"Why don't you vacuum with a regular vac or something?" Well, my room is very narrow, and my shelving unit is close to the door (I enter my room like an L shape), so I cannot physically fit the regular vac in. The hose can only go so far, but I cannot get under the bed, or the other side of the room, etc. That's why I use a robo vac for my bedroom.

Until the Wi-Fi outage is solved, I'm unable to clean.

I had to use a key to start a car the other day.

As the title says, I had to start a car with a key. I think I may have a wrist injury now. To make matters worse I then had to actually pull a latch to manually open the rear hatch and... And!!! I had to close it by hand. I may need to take a couple days off to recover.
