Put off grading

yes very complete tool box, mostly the tape measure and pliers

I have to use password phrases at work so I do it everywhere now

Didn't you just start school on Monday and already there are grades due?

For me, it's the screwdriver and my Leatherman.

That's a very good idea.

Ugh! Now that I think about it, though, that was the same for us.

What did you put off doing today?
Vacuuming the upstairs

Do you have a tool box for household chores? What tool do you seem to use the most?
No, I use the iron and ironing board

Without spilling the beans, how complicated are your passwords as a rule?
Somewhat complicated 🙃

Not my favorite task, either.

Hahahha! I had an image of you driving a nail in with an iron. :D

Mine are more complicated than I'd like.

I hate wrinkled clothes and I find ironing very soothing.

I did use an iron once to hammer a nail. But it wasn’t my good iron. It was an old cast iron one, I have a small collection of vintage irons. 🤗

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of it myself, although I do a ton of it because of my quilting.

I couldn't imagine trying to iron with a cast iron iron. Man, you didn't mess with women back then. They had pipes on them!

1-Paying medical bills that are due soon and put away clean laundry!

2-I try to keep my tools organized in their tool box, mostly I keep some in a extra drawer. I use my handy box cutter alot to open Amazon boxes!

3-My passwords tend to be a bizarre phrase or sentence.

Have to get those bills paid. Not my favorite task.

I have a handy box cutter, too. I use it all the time.

Good for you!

Writing a couple of very necessary emails and a phone call. I have a phone call phobia.
But I need to do all of the above today.
Oh, and carting the Christmas tree down to the garage.

No tool box. I do have a large Carrefour bag full of Manolo's tools.

So complicated *I*
can't remember them most of the time.

Be careful on those stairs!

You can never have enough tools. I used to have a shirt that said that. The students liked it, but for a very differnt reason

That would be me as well..

No stairs involved! I take it outside through the kitchen back door, around the side of the house and into the garage directly. The tree comes apart in 3 easy sections so easy to carry.

That's the best way of all. Ours does the same thing. It's still pretty heavy, though.

Emptying the dishwasher and loading in the dirty dishes, and putting out the recycling and composting. Aside from a work video conference, I spent the day in bed feeling sorry for myself. I can’t believe we used to just power through colds, and go out in public and everything!

I do not. I have a workbench with cupboards above and a rack for various screwdrivers and stuff. Technically I also have a tool box, but it is full of miscellaneous stuff and I have never organized it so I could carry it around the house for chores. It just seems easier to grab what I want from the shelf or rack.

I don’t use anything between hieroglyphs and unicorn blood. I do have a “system” based on risk. I re-use passwords for all the things that are very low risk because they aren’t financial or privacy stuff. I have different passwords (and of increasingly complexity) for things that matter.

I just finished with the dishwasher. Not my favorite task, but at least it's done for a couple of days and the laundry is, too. Whew!!

Hugs, not at all. You are doing exactly what you should be doing - taking it easy and treating yourself well.

Makes perfect sense to me
