I have decided that the main agenda for my first week post-job is to sleep, like the moderately disabled person I was pretending not to be.

I made Experimental Brownies from a Box. This didn't go quite as planned because I decided to fuck with the timing due to using a smaller pan.

The ones where I added glacé cherries and pecans came out better.

I have ambitions to take apart a certain piece of equipment, now that a) I know how it goes back together, and b) I am aware of what a mess it is.

Next week is planned to have more productive content.

Now that I know what it is, I feel rather terrible about you having cleaned and repaired it to functional status.

[azurelunatic]

I am okay with having done it! Fewer things to re-buy.

[silveradept]

That is very helpful. What was the secret I missed to reassembly?

[azurelunatic]

Let gravity help: stack the fiddly bits face down, then apply the machine.

if almond is on your list of okay-to-eat, box brownies with amaretto liquor in place of the water and/or a splash of almond extract.

[azurelunatic]

INTERESTING.

[ghoti]

SO. GOOD.

[niqaeli]

....hmmmm. I'm not big on almond but this has POSSIBILITIES as a concept.

[azurelunatic]

I'm contemplating orange.

[ghoti]

the only downside, if you can call it that, is that they're extra sweet and sticky and never quite seem to set.

Taking things apart can be GLORIOUS fun, especially when you already know how to put them back together!

Also, enjoy the napping.

[azurelunatic]

Having slept through most of the weekend, I'm thinking I might even be conscious most of the weekdays.

[kellan_the_tabby]

That will probably be pretty pleasant.

Sounds like a good first week plan. Good luck with the taking shit apart and putting it back together. (Have you ever tried an optical mouse? I did once, to unwind the cat hair from around the clickwheel spindle. Fun times.)

[azurelunatic]

The mission was successful. I am pleased with using the water flosser as a tiny household power washer.

I have not attempted that operation on an optical mouse. Though the tiny ball nub on the Apple mouse is such a pain to clean.

That's brilliant! In your now-increased copious spare time, you should write a letter to Braun/Waterpik!

[azurelunatic]

power shavers are a pain in the ass, apparently.
