I've somehow lost rolls to cats rolling in either direction, so my TP roll is now often found in the cabinet above the toilet.
The trick is forcing yourself to get up early. It will be a rough couple of days, but pretty soon, you'll be exhausted enough to go to sleep earlier. You can also try moving your alarm up in 15 minute increments to achieve the same idea in a slightly less painful way. But, you do have to actually get up when the alarm goes off for the plan to work.
I also find that smart lights really help. Mine gradually dim off in the evenings, and gradually dim on in the mornings, and I usually don't need a traditional alarm. The dimming should be slow enough that it feels like sunrise/sunset. I usually have mine start dimming on about 15 minutes before I want to get up, and they're fully off 15 minutes before I'm supposed to be asleep.
This is more targeted to other people than you, but was the post right next to the couch? One of the smaller details that people often overlook is that scratching leaves their scent behind and says "I live here", so they will often want to scratch in socially significant parts of the house. So, if the only acceptable scratching surfaces are hidden away from the rooms you actually hang out in, they're probably going to find something else to scratch on.
Unfortunately, the same logic is sometimes behind litter box issues too.
Awesome! A friend of mine recently found a whole litter of abandoned kittens, so I was trying to help them find some low cost options, and everything around here was booked months out too.
What an adorable little standard issue cat! Looks a lot like my princess.
Please be sure to get her spayed ASAP, if she's not already. They can go into their first heat as early as 4 months old, and will become desperate to get outside!
They've been my go to for headphones & speakers for a while, but my last few purchases of different models all ended up getting returned due to the same connectivity issues. Sitting at home, the headphones are fine, but when I'm out for a walk, they experience some sort of interference that causes the music to skip/stutter. I still have an old, long discontinued, pair of Anker earbuds, and when I go for the same walk with those, there's zero connectivity issues.
I'm pretty sure that you're talking about applies when an employee lives in one state full time, but receives a paycheck from a company in a different state. They may live near the state line and commute across the border, or they may be fully remote, but either way, their work is consistently happening in the same location.
In this case, he's working part time in California, and part time in Washington. The exact laws vary by state.. in some states, your tax liability begins on the day you start working there, while others have a certain threshold, but I'm pretty sure he's crossing whatever threshold there might be. So for the days that he's working in Washington for a company based in Washington, Washington income taxes apply, and for the days he works from California, California income taxes apply.
Since Washington doesn't have an income tax, and California does, he will still definitely have to file in California.
Well, there's no income tax in Washington, but I think technically you're supposed to pay based on where you physically work. So, if he's only working 3/5 days in Washington, that's only 60% of his salary that falls under Washington's rules.
I've gotten sick less often since masks & WFH, but when I do get sick now, it feels much, much worse. These days, if I think I might be sick, I stay home as much as possible, and wear a good mask when I do have to be near other people, but if I'm feeling well, haven't knowingly been around anyone sick, and am going somewhere that masks aren't expected, I just don't want to wear a steam room on my face.
Also, I live in an area where masking is still very acceptable. I know there's many other areas where masking is either illegal or just very frowned upon, so I'd probably be pretty hesitant to mask up there, even if I was sick.
Garmin. You'll probably spend a bit more on the hardware, but there's nothing locked behind a subscription. I had the Fitbit Sense and switched to the Garmin Forerunner 265. If the skin temperature sensor is important to you, you'll want a different model, but that's the only thing I've noticed as missing so far.
