Drawing down the last of the dishwasher pods (cutting them open and putting just the powder in the compartment), as I prepare to switch back to a regular boxed powder. This is because of the polyvinyl alcohol (dissolvable plastic) in the covers. Yesterday I was at Joann's loading up on a few things and I read the Solvy (wash-away stabilizer) label and realized it's the same thing. I don't use it often, but I didn't add to my stash.

I learned new stuff today, after I signed up for an interesting Women's March Zoom meeting, to do with how algorithms work in social media platforms. Interesting and helpful.

We've waited for rain all week and the radar shows it finally approaching. The humidity in the house this afternoon was 20% and now it's 83%. I pushed off running around until tomorrow, so now it looks like I'll be doing it in the rain. One of those chores is to help a friend dose her cat. I knew when she told me that one cat had tapeworms that they were all going to have them. Ugg. With all of the cat sitting I do I'm a pro at stuffing pills down cats, quickly without much fuss. She's afraid they won't have anything to do with her again if she struggles and doesn't do it right.

I'm happy to report that since I've switched the dogs back to their regular limited ingredient dog food that the flatulence has abated. The blue heeler is hard to live with when she's perking away, and while a probiotic sprinkled over the food helped a little, it wasn't enough to solve the problem.

Not much decluttering this week so far, but I have hopes for the weekend.
