It depends on where you live. If you’re in the U.S., your town’s website should have a list of what gets recycled and what gets thrown out. There are also non-disposal methods of getting rid of stuff: donations, trade, etc.
Yup!!
Or possibly a phone, but likely a computer. Move your eyeballs away from the screen and look to the closest flat surface, whether it’s your desk, your nightstand, or the coffee table. It could be the very surface that your computer is on! Clean it off. Come on, you can survive away from the Internet for a few minutes.
UfYH operates on Eastern Standard Time. Because that’s where I live. And, believe it or not, Tumblr doesn’t have the functionality to configure the time zone, work situation, and personal schedule of each of my followers so that everyone gets the challenges at the appropriate time for them.
HOWEVER, since you’re such a smart and resourceful (and non-excuse-making) bunch, I know you’ve all figured out that you can do the challenges when they’re applicable to you, because that’s common sense, and through the magic of the Internet, you can access the challenges even after they’ve already been posted, simply by going to the UfYH page. So when it’s morning where you are, then you do the morning challenges. And when it’s night where you are, you do the nighttime ones!
I know not everyone lives in the U.S., or in the part of the U.S. where I live. Until Tumblr gives me the ability to post things on a rotating, according-to-time-zone basis, though, we’re just going to have to do it the old-fashioned way!
(That’s sounds dirty. It’s not. Well, it is, but only in the “actual physical dirt and dust” way.)
Go ahead, grab your poor neglected vacuum cleaner and get to it. Vacuum every carpeted surface you can get to. Use your hose attachment to get into corners and hidden spots. Look up. Have dust or cobwebs? Use the hose to suck ‘em up.
DUST IS THE ENEMY.
And no excuses, please. Excuses are boring.
there were no clean glasses and i wanted to make some tea. so, i went over to the sink to wash a single glass for myself but suddenly
i was washing all of the dishes? and then i was also cleaning and rearranging the shelves where we keep all of the dishes? and then I realized we have way too many fucking dishes. 5 of us live here and so we do need quite a bit of stuff but not like we have. a lot of it is stuff we don’t really use but will resort to if everything else is dirty instead of just doing the goddamn dishes. So I decided to get rid of some of all the extra shit. I managed to rope my grandmother into helping me decide what to keep.
my grandma: what’s got you in such a mood to clean?
me: i don’t know? i’m not really. it just needed to be done. these days the internet is calling it ‘unfucking your habitat’
my grandma: well, i think i’m just gonna keep calling it ‘cleaning’the kitchen could definitely use some further unfucking but for now i’m quite proud of the progress this spontaneous unfucking session has brought
and so’s your grandma.
Clothes, keys, coffee, lunch, dishes done, teeth brushed, phone charging, cleaner in the toilet, bed at a reasonable hour.
from the fabtabulous squee-gee. She said to say hello to Tumblr-land, and she misses you. Tumblr’s loss is UfYH’s gain, because, people, there are a LOT of gifs. I’m going to be working my way through these for a while.
So today I unfucked… My Finances.
It was not fun, my face was pretty much
the whole time. Here’s what I got done though.
- Signed up for mint.com (really useful A++ would recommend.)
- Checked my credit score (jesus christ 502 that is BAD)
- Set up a goal (Emergency fund by 2013, security deposit by March 2012)
- Set up an auto deduction of 100$ every friday as pretend rent (for the security dep. goal)
- Was finally fucking honest and looked through my transactions- I waste a lot of money on indulgences.
- Set up a livable budget (again, thanks mint.com it analyzed my shit and gave a more balanced budget)
So after all that I felt a little…emotionally destroyed. So to cope I set up a wish list on Amazon of all the tiddly little things I would need when moving out (shower curtain rings, pots&pans, towels etc. I may have put down a 37” flat screen tv but hey, a girl can dream.)
Anyways I feel more badass for having a plan and goals with reminders and alerts and whatnot, here’s to a more financially stable 2012 :)
An alcohol and a carboxylic acid (like acetic acid) when mixed form an ester, but you have to heat it and use another (stronger) acid as a catalyst. Esters are often known for smelling nice (although not always)!
Smart people everywhere!
if we mix alcohol and vinegar does that cause some crazy chemical reaction that kills people or would we be good to go?
I’m finding out. No chemistry experiments yet!
