An oak tree started growing near my house in a problem spot. I kept meaning to pull it up. By the time I cut it down it was 8" in diameter and about 25’ tall.

Does eating count?

I take a lot of photos, and my routine is to go through them all, rename the files to contain the subjects, and copy them to my media center and a backup drive.

And by routine I mean I keep postponing it and now have a backlog that goes to photos from 2023.

Putting all my clothes into my dresser from my move 2 weeks ago

Not the most recent incident, but where I live we observe daylight savings time (which is dumb). I have a large wall clock in the main room of my house in a very visible location, but up high enough that I have to use a ladder to fiddle with it.

Daylight savings ended and I put off changing the clock. Months went by and it eventually got closer to daylight savings coming back so I told myself I’d just wait it out until the clock was right again. 24 hours after daylight savings kicked in (the clock is correct again, I lazied my way into a win!) the battery died and I had to get the ladder out anyway (shit!).

I waited over a year before buying a new water filter for the fridge, and then when it arrived I let it sit for another year before replacing the old one with it.

Ugh, making a car mechanic appointment has been on my list since October. Nothing’s actively wrong with it, and I’m not due mileage-wise. I just want to make sure it can handle a medium length trip that kept getting postponed due to a few things I couldn’t be away from home for more than a day for a while.

Ripped a button off a shirt a few weeks ago and haven’t sewed it back on yet. The button was on the sleeve and it’s getting warm enough where I’d have the sleeves rolled up anyways, so I am considering just not doing it until the end of summer.

Edit: Nevermind, I just sewed it on.

I have a smart plug controlling a lava lamp in my bedroom that’s been turning itself on at semi-random times for probably 6-8 months. Some old schedule that didn’t delete properly, but wasn’t displayed in the app anymore.

Took a whole 5min to reset and setup again; once I finally stopped putting it off.

Recently? A shower door catch was broken. I got a new one and it sat in the package on the bathroom counter a foot or two from the shower door for a really long time. All that was needed was to fetch a screwdriver, take two small screws out, and replace the unit. 30 seconds to do, if that.

Meanwhile, if anyone used the shower, you had to creatively wedge something in the door every time to keep it from opening. That took far more effort than simply replacing the catch.

I’ve had holes in my wall from some electrical diy work since 2019.

It’s getting fixed this week.

Fuck, I hate plastering. Actually, I hate detailed finish work. I’m cut out to be a plumber or electrician, none of this fancy shit.

My nick-knacks cupboard is a total mess: overfilled and has things just hastily tossed into it to the point that opening it guarantees that something will fall out onto you. I’ve been meaning to empty it and refill it in an orderly fashion, perhaps added dividers and bins as appropriate to help keep it organized.

For twelve years.

This is something I could literally do in an afternoon of light labour, but I haven’t.

hauling a bunch of old tech out to the curb so it could be picked up (also by me, later today) and taken to an ewaste collection site… including a crt tv old enough to be ‘made in usa’

Now this sounds like a topic for !dullsters@dullsters.net
