Not sure if it’s a life pro tip, an ADHD pro tip, or a cat owners’ pro tip, but I’ve forgotten food in the microwave so many times after putting it there to keep my cat out of it, it kinda hurts. I always allow my food to cool some before putting it away, but these days, I use a microwave timer to remind me. It won’t shut up unless I go push a button. And while I’m in there, I might as well clean the rest of the kitchen. Since I’m up.
By the way, I woke up to cat barf on my countertop. How’s your morning going?
