Assert dominance. Tell her youโ€™re the mum here and she can go wash her hands

After just getting over a bout of gastro, Iโ€™m with the robot - you canโ€™t wash your hands enough!

Well that was an interesting night. Someone has come to the front door at around 1am and banged on it really forcefully, then banged on the window a few times (almost hard enough to break it according to my MIL). By the time she got out of bed, came in and woke Mr P (who vaulted out of bed; first 24hrs of wearing a nicotine patch too, poor bugger!) the culprit was long gone. He didn't really get back to sleep after that. It's happened a few times before, seems to be happening every 6 months or so. Last time it happened, a woman who lives at the end of the street had it happen to her and she answered the door and was assaulted. I've been down a rabbit hole of security cameras and doorbell cams since then. Some are really pricey (I know I know, what price safety? I'm just as broke as a joke right now!) Some need to be wired in, some need a subscription, some don't have great night vision.. aargh! If any of you have any recommendations I would sincerely appreciate. For now I'm off to work to do pizza bases. Lots of them!

They're kinda shitty, but a single reolink argus 3 w/solar panel, will connect to your wifi, has a free could backup, you can see it on your phone or pc at home or away from home. Being battery/wifi it catches things late, but it still gets most things. People walking past not so much, walking to the door it'll get em. Being solar and wifi, you just screw it in somewhere, don't need a tech to run power or ethernet cables.

You can use a $60 wifi cam placed inside if theres a good window spot. Turn OFF night vision (the led will just glare off the glass) and use your security sensor light. Tp-link's tapo are all right

Seems to be one of those days and itโ€™s not even lunchtime yet. Not a great start to the morning, now ubering to work late and itโ€™s $56. Better than the $80+ I paid one time, but still a lot for what is usually a ~$20 trip. Eek.

Like bot, I should have stayed in bed
