is mental illness contagious?

Feeling like shit emotionally lately, not sure why. Maybe it's because I keep reading my NYT email every morning (and I should stop). Also our closing date for our house keeps getting moved because of all these little inspection-related things that hadn't been completed, and now I have to pay a fee to keep our rate locked or else we'd have to push it back even more. Super frustrating. I just want to get my stuff out of storage and sleep in my own bed and feel like a real adult again :/ My muse has also fled the scene but I've got to get my ass in gear so that I can sign up for ficinabox! It's probably my favorite exchange of the year.

In toddler news, she loves to say, "See you next 'morrow!" and she calls Gatorade "Grata", both of which I find very amusing.

I've listened to Reneé Rap's new album Bite Me. It is very high-energy and a lot of the songs are about love triangles and cheating, which makes me super curious about her personal life LOL. It does get a tad bit repetitive overall. My favorite track is Why Is She Still Here? Other stand-outs are good girl and mad.



We have to buy a new washer/dryer for our new house so I've been doing research on washing machines. This article about Washing Machine Settings made me think I've been using washing machines wrong this whole time. I hardly ever used cold setting but I think I should do it more. Also, I want a top-loading machine like we had at our last house but I'm also worried about saving space. Would anyone recommend their washer/dryer?
