My Electronic Staff

Why Nea Loves Labor-Saving Devices:

As soon as I get my butt off the Internet, the following will be happening at once:
- the crockpot will continue simmering my caramelized onion and dried fruit compote
- the washing machine will do the load of lights
- the dryer will finish my sheets
- the roomba will vacuum the main hallways and my bathroom

and all while I iron while listening to last week's Staggering Stories. The only fly in the ointment is that I have to do my own damn ironing, but the fact that everything else is going to toddle along without more than distant supervision is a lovely thing.



It's also kind of impressive what I'm willing to do/program/supervise rather than finish stripping the bathroom wallpaper, isn't it?

Ah, is the House Elf on holiday? Or did it win its freedom?

(I usually joke that my ironing refuses to do itself, and the House Elf is absent...)

I think the house elf swiped some clothes and ran. I totally want me a house elf...

Oh me too! I hate doing ironing and washing up most!
