lynora, I'd get something like this. The swivel puts less lateral force on the kitchen faucet.
Agreed. Pulling on the hose is going to not only put pressure at the nozzle/adapter, but more importantly pull on the joint where the faucet meets the sink/base (Freehold, we know this to be true due to math and its specific application in physics).
That swivel will alleviate some of that, as long as you don't go nuts and yank on it.

Can I get you a fluffy pink bathrobe and white bunny slippers to complete the look?
I can even get CY to throw them in a tar-and-gravel mixer to give them the proper "lived-in" look...
I was wearing men's large army pants and a mustard yellow "YOLO" shirt with various X-men and Avengers logos on it. Anything that says "YOLO" is worse than bunny slippers any day. (No, I didn't buy it. I swiped it from His Lordship's laundry room when we lived in Richmond. It's my hair dyeing shirt, so it's covered in stains.)

I did give my family fair warning that it's a bad pain day by wearing The Shirt. On the front it says "My body is a temple, ancient & crumbling, probably cursed, harboring an unspeakable horror". I always wear it when I'm feeling extra bad because humor is an excellent coping mechanism :P
Really glad you're resting up and letting your body recover, but holy smokes, lady, do you know what's even better than a special hose attachment for your faucet (which, yes, you need like two days ago)?
Asking.For.
Help.
I worry about you. Please don't do this to yourself.

Captain Yesterday (to football player laborer): When you go back to the shop can you pick up our water sprayer, it's the one that says "Don't drink, may contain microscopic society" on the side
Red Shirt (shaking his head): Sometimes when I'm working with you guys I can't tell if I'm at work or a sci-fi convention.

So, this is getting ridiculous.
We went to Rivoli on the 15th because we hadn't been in quite a while and Hi was missing it, and Hi yoinked the bill, as he occasionally does.
Then we went on the 18th for the Portuguese Hurricane's birthday, and while I had to pay for myself and GothBard, it was a LOT less than our usual trips.
On the 22nd an old friend of Shiro's was in town, and he'd never been to Rivoli, so he begged Shiro to drive him up, we went again, and Shiro yoinked the bill.
Today the Fake Russian called me wanting to do dinner, so we went to the corner pub, and, on learning it had been my birthday 6 days ago, insisted on treating me.
I've eaten out 4 times in the last two weeks, 3 times at Rivoli, and only paid for a single meal.
Karma isn't a b**+#. Karma is a very kind person who knows how much I enjoy eating out with friends.
EDIT: Ooh! That's the first time I've ever triggered the obscenity filter on Paizo! Woo hoo!

Lecture received and admittedly deserved. I have a tendency to convince myself I can do more than I actually can. Especially when it’s things I used to be able to do. I will try to be better about it. Thanks for caring enough to scold me <3

I agree. My dad and I have made lot of questionable jokes, and a lot of jokes that were waaaaaaaay over the line about health and such.
Our motto is that we can better laugh about it, because the alternative is just crying, and we rather just laugh.(he had a work accident, and his foot is messed up, giving him a lot of pain)

A high today of 93 with humidity already at 93% percent.
Hopefully the weather doesn't attract Florida Man (who will of course try to rape a chicken, fail spectacularly and settle for f$!$ing the brand new fence on the property we're working on).
Of course, he could just walk off with one of our erosion socks and dry hump it in the middle of Candy Cane Park a few blocks away.

I may need to show that to my GM and see if she can arrange for my character (a monk based on Macho Man Randy Savage) to belly-to-back suplex a deer.

All these yardwork posts just make me increasingly glad I don't have a yard.
It did make me sorely tempted to pay for the FFA to hide Easter eggs this year just to see what they'd do when they got here and discovered there wasn't a yard to hide them in.
When I was in high school, that would not have inconvenienced me at all. Your neighbors might wonder why they're finding Easter eggs in their car, and your gutters might overflow, but that's obviously irrelevant.

Some mornings are just odd.
7:00 am meeting with Europe, so I got to listen to them complain about 37°C local temperatures and didn't dare say anything.
8:00 am demo meeting, so still no shower, breakfast, or getting dressed.
As I tell anyone who cares to listen, if I'm still in my PJs at 10:00 am, it is NOT because I'm having a good day. :-P
On the other hand, considering the weather everywhere else in the world, I really can't complain.
