laundry has become a whole situation since having the baby and our washer is not keeping up. we've been eyeing the GE Profile UltraFast combo because the ventless setup works for our space and the shorter cycle times sound like exactly what we need right now but the full price is a stretch. been holding off because memorial day keeps coming up as one of the better times to buy appliances but i genuinely can't tell if the deals are actually meaningful. anyone here timed a big appliance buy around memorial day and felt like it actually paid off?

i spend like weeks making spreadsheets, researching hidden spots, putting together day by day itineraries, and honestly it feels so satisfying. then when i’m actually there i feel weirdly unmotivated to follow the plan and just end up winging it most days. i’m planning my next solo trip to portugal and already i’m more excited about the google sheets than the actual flights. is this crazy or do other solo female travelers feel this way too? what’s it like for you, the planning or the trip itself?
