For #ThrowbackThursday, here's a cup of coffee from yesteryear...
I'm using the IT Director's office today and I guess he hasn't been in Valencia in a while, because his coffee cup is alive. (Like me, he usually works out of the Burbank office).
Life, uh, finds a way...

So sorry to everyone I owe replies to … the move was far harder on me than I anticipated. A number of items need to be completely thrown out which is a huge unexpected expense… and only about half my stuff actually got moved in the time we had.

Needless to say I’m having to accept that my baseline is shattered and it might be a bit longer than usual before I can be writing again.

Nothing good comes from pushing our bodies past what they can do, so I’m focusing on rest and finishing this move.

Honestly I wish there was secure and affordable housing for disabled people for life. Being forced to move when you can’t even get out of bed is one of the most stressful things you can be put through … and it Happens to way too many of us.

I fully plan to write an article on housing instability and discrimination against disabled people once I’m back to baseline !

In the meantime I need suggestions for cheap but safe online retailers where I can replace clothes. Due to a severe mold problem in old apartment almost everything has to be tossed. With my severe MCAS I can’t wear a lot of fabrics so if anyone knows of a unicorn store please let me know (my go to Canadian brand has become too expensive for me)

I don't know if there's anywhere in Mexico where I could get this but I have to try it!!

I don't know what rabbit hole sent me to discovered the Mold-A-Rama, but I've ever since been hoping to one day see one IRL. Closest I got to one was in Milwaukee, but we got there late and had to leave early so I didn't have the time to visit the county Zoo to check one out.

In short, it's an injection molding machine, except it's intended as a curiosity rather than a factory machine. They make various toy figurines and you get to watch as it happens as the whole mechanism is under a transparent dome.

So my wife hasn't driven the car in months. First she had the op on her ankle which stopped her driving for a while, then a holiday and a broken wrist and again no car driving.

Anyway we had a friend visiting yesterday so my wife had to move the car on the drive to make space for her friend to park.

Yikes!! Inside the car was BLACK!! Mold and mildew everywhere. Blooms of mold on every surface, seats covered in black mold.

I've just spent 3 and a bit hrs cleaning every surface inside the car, vacuumed every surface with a HEPA filter mini vac. Sanitised every inch of the car. Washed the upholstery with a wet vac and steam cleaner.

Then, another hour and a half while I jet washed and lathered up the exterior of the car. Unbelievable how much moss and gunk in the seals around the windows etc.

But we've now got a clean, sterile and shiny car again. Nearly 5 hours of work but well needed.

In other news we need to check the seals around the doors. XD
