Day 32: Bathroom Superstore

I knocked one task off the list today, so I celebrated by knocking off another.

70. ✅ Hang the new mirror in the bathroom.

"Can you please hang up the new mirror in the bathroom, real quick?" my wife inquired.

One does not simply hang a new mirror in the bathroom.

First you have to remove the old mirror, which hopefully hasn't been installed in a stupid way by the previous occupants. If the new mirror is bigger, then you may have to move some of the fixtures--like towel racks and lights. If you do, then there is the matter of patching up the drywall in the places previously occupied by those fixtures. Then once that dries, you have to paint those spots. Hopefully the previous occupants left you some of that paint, so you don't have to repaint the entire room. Once all that is done you can finally hang the new mirror. But wait! You first have to measure and mark the wall so that you can put in drywall anchors and mounting screws. Hopefully the mirror isn't going in an awkward spot, like in a corner, or butted up against a cabinet, vanity, light fixture, or all three.

But seriously, once all that is done, THEN you can hang the new mirror in the bathroom, real quick.

32. ✅ Finish watching the series Superstore.

I'm not going to lie; on paper, this show never looked appealing to me. However, after spending the last month taking in every episode, I can tell you that this show successfully put together 5 outstanding seasons in its 6-season run. Is the cast of characters very reminiscent of The Office? Very yes. But the show manages to put its own unique spin on the Scranton strangler (severed feet), the Jim-Pam will-they-won't-they (Jonah and Amy), the lovably inept but surprisingly capable manager Michael (Glen), and the indescribable incomparable assistant to the regional manager Dwight (Dina). There are plenty of other parallels too that are more derivative than homage, but the show still excels at making me laugh.

Day 91: Cleanliness

73. ✅  Clear out the flower bed in the front yard Two words: scorched earth. Garden hoe: loosen the dirt. (Broke that hoe.) Shovel: remove the dirt. Sieve: Filter out all the crap in the dirt. What was left was a smooth patch of barren soil. I'm sure there are undesirables lurking beneath the surface, so I'll let it lie for a few days before I do anything else with it. 51.  ✅  Deal with the shred pile This took days. I've been accumulating junk mail, old bills, and literally anything with my name, a family member's name, or our address on it for several months resulting in a two-foot tall stack of papers. It couldn't be done all at once, because (A) the shredder kept overheating, and (B) I kept running out of places to store the shreds. (They take up considerably more room than the unshredded sheets of paper.) 75  ✅  Clean off the workbench Getting rid of the shred pile was the main roadblock in completing this task, but it's done. And now there's a bike up ...
