Mundane Update 2022

Last night, about two hours of time was devoted to “refurbishing” and cleaning the old Norelco® electric shaver. It has now been officially deprecated. And, with the risk of it being discarded, it will be donated to charity.

The dreaded laundry chores were performed this afternoon (as scheduled every two weeks) upon return to the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. As usual, the floor of the mausoleum was cleaned during the wash cycle. Thank goodness for the Swiffer®!

The new Mainstays® foam mattress topper was unpacked a couple of days ago. It has been sitting in the unused mausoleum shower to air out and regain its original shape. The mattress topper was placed on the airbed. Of course, its dimensions are smaller than the airbed. Fortunately, having previously read the on-line comments from purchasers of the product, there was no surprise or rage.

The Intex® airbed was filled with more air to increase its firmness. The large towel used as a makeshift mattress pad, courtesy the Sand Island homeless shelter, was removed and put in with the other laundry. It will be donated to charity as well. The new pillowcases were also washed, and the small throw pillow was encased with one.

The new Norelco® electric shaver was deployed late this afternoon. The “petal” design will take time to become accustomed with. Most noticeable, though, is that the blades appear to rotate much slower. However, the shave was incredibly close. Of course, the reason for the higher price of this newer model is attributed to the built-in “high tech,” which includes Bluetooth® connectivity to its dedicated “app” for “smartphones.” Yeah, that’s “over the top” for an electric shaver. No third-party “app” will be installed on the iPhone 14 Pro.

Miscellany: A can of compressed air was also purchased at Walmart® for a whopping $10 recently to aid in the cleaning and maintenance of “stuff.”

Addendum: As previously stated in Notes, the focus has moved almost entirely to personal mundanity. However, Notes still remains firmly committed to whatever is left of the opposition.
