And I tell my my future self, I'm like, your future self would want this to just be taken care of. So I just do it in the moment rather than procrastinating. That's not to say that I don't sometimes procrastinate. We all have the the the big load of laundry that we've just Erica: I feel like you stay organized. I do because I think about my future self all the time. Yeah, I do too. So it doesn't work. My future self, I'm like, your future self would want this to just be taken care of. Yeah.

We all have the the the big load of laundry that we just put in the dryer and then we Jenn: Put in the dryer and then we keep adding things to the dryer over time. And now it's five, five loads of laundry in the dryer. And now it's like, no, we have six loads of laundry in the one dryer and it all has to come out and get folded. And it's like, my. I we we went above and beyond when we got this dryer. We made sure it was the the giant capacity one. Yes. Yes. that's. Erica: Adding things to the dryer over time. Five loads of laundry the old navy tank got dried six times. And now it's like, no, we have six loads of laundry in the one dryer and it all has to come out and get pulled and it's my god, your dryer fits it's loads of laundry.

So I have had 'cause I don't like taking things to a laundromat. No offense to laundromats, but I ain't I don't won't do I know Danny does take Danny takes out rugs to the laundromat. Honestly, I get it, but that's part of why I don't want to go there because I'm like everybody's rugs are being washed. That too. A wash and fold situation sounds good though. Erica: So I have had I don't like taking things to a laundry mat. I've no things to laundry mats, but I ain't I don't want to it. I know Danny does take Danny takes our rugs to the laundry mat actually. Honestly I get it. But that's part of why I don't want to go there. Yeah. Like everybody's rugs.

Jenn: It's the folding and putting away parts that that's the worst. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Erica: I have had quite a big pile that I need to organize in my closet. And it's just now I'm at the point of like I when you get to the point you ca just can't find anything. Yeah. Not that n it's not laundry that I need to put away. What's just stuff that you have to put away. Well, like when I was packing, I was pulling everything down. No, I Jenn: to organize in my closet. And it's just now I'm at the point where like I when you get to the point you just can't find anything. Yeah. Yeah. Not that it's not laundry that I need to put away. It's just stuff that you haven't put away. Well, like when I was packing, I was pulling everything down. So you still have stuff from the trip left over? No, Erica: No, that's the funny thing. So when I do my laundry, I put everything away. And when I unpacked, I put everything away. But it's just the stuff that I like pull down, I'm like, I don't want to wear this, so I just lay it. It Jenn: that's the funny thing. So when I do my laundry, I put everything away. And when I unpacked, I put everything away. Okay. But it's just the stuff that I like pulled down. I'm like, I don't want to wear this, so I just lay it. It they're all nicely laid. Okay. But they're just late. And what's the what's the thought process behind that? I because I'm always in a rush when I'm laying and I don't have time to put it hang it back up. Okay. And now it's gotten so big that I'm just overwhelmed. So you just have to do it. Erica: they're all nicely laid. Okay. But they're just laid. And what's very big. What's the thought that? I because I'm always in a rush when I'm laying it down and I don't have time to put it hang it back up. And now it's gone so big that I'm just overwhelmed. So you just have to do it. huh. Jenn: Okay.

We have a retention pond in our bac yard and Jenn: when it rains we get Erica: When it rains, we get tons, thousands, billions of frogs. They come up from underneath the ground. And the reason I know this because I deep researched it this morning why I have frogs, and they are so loud, cricketing in the at night in the back. Come this all come to say. I let my dogs out last night and my golden retriever must have been excited. You know, I don't know what she did. Jenn: Tons, thousands, billions of frogs. they come up from underneath the ground.

I let my dogs out last night and my golden retriever must have been excited. You know. I don't know what she did. I'm sweating right now with this story, just as an FYI. I'm afraid of frogs. Yeah. I'm petrified of frogs. Yeah. Erica: Okay. I'm afraid of frogs. Yeah. I'm petrified of frogs. Yeah. So I'm there's no reason why. So I wake up this morning and I'm already like discombobulated. My eight year old is like, Nala smells. Nala's my golden retriever. And my husband's like, yeah. And I'm like, I can't smell anything. I don't know. And then so he's like, We have to give her a bath. Okay. Now this is going on. I'm on my couch staring at my Lanai that has the frogs all over the screen. Jenn: So I there's no reason why. So I wake up this morning and I'm already like discomfobulated. My eight-year-old is like Nala smells, Nala's my golden retriever. And my husband's like, yeah, I'm like, I can't smell anything. I don't know. And then so he's like, we have to give her a bath. Okay. Okay. Now this is going on. I'm on my couch staring at my Lanai that has the frogs all over the screen. And I'm like, nobody's allowed outside. Erica: And I'm like, nobody's allowed outside. Nobody know Jenn: Anybody not from Florida and doesn't know what Elenaeus is a screened back porch. Just okay. I'm like, nobody's going outside no one's allowed to open the doors. No, because the frogs will come in. So my husband is going to watch wash the dog at six thirty, seven AM. Okay. This morning. This morning. Okay. Okay. It's raining out. Yeah. And it's a golden retriever, so we can't wash her in the house because I don't want the hair going. That'll just yes. Yes. Yeah. So anyways. I'm like, okay, why don't you bring her outside? Obviously she's Erica: Yes. I'm like, nobody's going outside. No one's allowed to open the doors. No, because the frogs will come in. Yeah.

And it's a golden retriever, so we can't wash her in the house because I don't want the hair going down the drain. Right. Yes. And even yeah. So anyways. I'm like, okay, why don't you bring her outside? Obviously she's a golden retriever, so she loves water. So I'm like, bring her outside with the hose. Jenn: So she loves water. So I'm like, bring outside with the hose. And he's like, the hose is in the backyard. He's like, why don't I just do it back there? I said, absolutely not. I was like, there's frogs, there's it ground dirt equals mud. Right. Like, you're gonna be washing her, you're gonna be muddy, eight-year-old's gonna be muddy, gold roach. This is and then it's a pointless task. Okay. So I'm like, just take the hose that's end of like a wheel-y thing, so it's pretty heavy. I'm like, just take the hose and put it on in the front. Erica: And he's like, the hose is in the backyard. He's like, why don't I just do it back there? I said, absolutely not. I was like, there's frogs, there's it ground dirt with water equals mud. So I'm like, you're gonna be washing her, you're gonna be muddy, eight-year-old's gonna be muddy, golden routine. This is a crapshoot. Great. So I'm like, just take the hose that's in like a wheelie thing. So it's pretty heavy. I'm like, just take the hose and put it on in the front on the concrete, because I have to water my flowers anyway. Take the hose from the back that just one screw. Jenn: On the concrete because I have to walk my flowers anyway. Take the hose from the back and just unscrew it and put it on the other hose, bib. Unscrew it. Right. Take it, and you walk to the front of the house. Right. Okay. He's like, No, that's just too much work. He's like, I'm going to take the dog up to our neighborhood pool. No. No. And give her a bath under the shower and then put her in the neighborhood pool. For why? Erica: On the other hose bit. Unscrew it. Right. Take it and you walk to the front of the house, put it down. Okay. He's like, no, that's just too much work. He's like, I'm going to take the dog up to our neighborhood pool. No. And give her a bath under the shower and then put her in the neighborhood pool. For why? So wait, it gets better. He takes my eight year old, drives the truck down his truck. Jenn: It gets better. He takes my A rope, drives the truck down his truck to the neighborhood pool. Washes Nala at this this is his mind frame. Washes 'cause he didn't want to unscrew the house. Yeah. Okay. Washes Nala at the pool. Uh-huh. walks back to the house with the dog. Wait, you drove her and then now he's walking back? Erica: To the neighborhood pool, washes Nala at this. This is his mind frame. Washes Nala. Yeah. Washes Nala at the pool. walks back to the house with the dog. Wait, he drove her, and then now he's But he didn't want to put the wet dog in his truck, so now he's walking back. Jenn: His truck, so now he's walking back in the rain with the dog. Okay. Okay. Comes in, puts her in the garage, has to dry and all this. And I'm sitting on the couch still in the same spot, staring at the wall, thinking that was easier than moving the hose to the front bar. Why do they do that? I I can't I think this is a universal problem. Erica: With the dog, okay. Comes in, puts her in the garage, has to dry her and all this. And I'm sitting on the couch, still in the same spot, staring at the wall, thinking that was easier than moving the hose to the front yard. That's it. That's I don't know. I d I can't and he this is a universal problem. It a hundred percent. And I simply just asked him in the nicest way, I was Do you that was easier? And he said, Yes, it was actually it was easier. I'm like, Okay. Jenn: I like, do you that was easier? And he said, Yes, it was yeah actually it was easier. I'm like Okay. That was it. I didn't I don't know 'cause I I cannot under Okay, this is Erica: That was it. I didn't I don't know because I I cannot understand Jenn: a we need to I feel like. Erica: a Jenn: to take a poll or something, It can is it just us? Is it just us. I mean, that's wild. That's insane. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well But the dog got a bath. And you didn't have to do it. Erica: hundred percent. Is it just us? Is it just us? I mean that's wild. Truly. That's insane. Yeah. All right. It's just like kind of like but the dog got back and you didn't have to do it. that's why that's why I simply c I simply could not complain. I think not complaining. Jenn: No, no, no. I know you're not complaining I know you're not complaining. It's just funny that that was it that that was involved. Erica: Is that that one right? Jenn: That's really all I can say. Okay have a whole series on my husband. yeah, we both could in the nicest way possible. We both could. And he probably could have a series on me. Yes, that's marriage. That's marriage. Erica: I mean I could have a whole series on my husband. I could in the nicest way possible. And he probably could have a series on me. Maybe. That's married. Maybe. I mean I'm pr I'm pr I'm pretty perfect. I said you probably just see me as a villain. And he didn't say anything. Jenn: him. You probably just see me as a villain. And he didn't say anything. He didn't say yes or no. Erica: He didn't say yes or no. you just always say you're right, you just agree and you just you know, you just learn to just shut up, basically. And that's what And in that moment I was like, This is what ten years of marriage Jenn: you just always say you're right, you just agree, and you just you know, you just learn to just shut up, basically. And that's what And in that moment I was like, this is what ten years would matter. Erica: probably looks like. He's just learned to say Jenn: Probably looks like. Yeah, for sure. It's he knew better than to say a damn word. At some point his mama had to tell him you don't have nothing else to say, you don't say anything. That's right. I use that I probably use that daily. For sure. You think it's like at this point, but you're like, no, but true. a lot of stuff I have to shove right now. Yeah. It's just easier. Or as our friend says, shove that shit down. Shove that shit. Sometimes you just gotta shove it down. Not always, but sometimes you just gotta shove it down. Erica: Well and i his at some point his mama had to tell him, You don't have nothing nice to say, you don't say anything at all. You think it's like cliche at this point, but you're like, No, but truly. yeah, there's a lot of times I have to shut my mouth. Yeah. It's easier. Or as our friend says, that shit down. Shut that shit down. Sometimes you just gotta shut it down. Not always, but sometimes you just gotta shut it down. Those thoughts you don't need to say. Shove it down and shut it down.

So I was like can we just go there for a drink so we can check it out. Now speakeasy was only open Friday and Saturday so I didn't get into the speakeasy but I went into the restaurant. So anyways all of this to say. Erica: All of this to say. We end up going three places and I drank bees' knees the whole entire time, which is gin, honey, and lemon. It's literally my favorite drink. Sometimes it's served on ice, sometimes it's served as a martini. And I was phenomenal Monday. I was like, this is, you know, when you're when you find something, I know. It's great.

What? I know what I know this is. Because I don't want to have to get up and pee in the middle of the night. That's really what it comes down to. That's correct. Yeah. Well, and if you've had wine yard again, probably have 3 a.m. wake up. You don't need pee to help. Erica: Water before that. That's that's a responsible thing. No. No. I won't. What? I know we d I know this is kinda all of the night. That's really Well th no, that that's correct. Well and if you've had wine you're already gonna probably have the three AM wake up.
