All sounds very familiar!!
My list:
Move clock from the dining room (click, click, click)
In winter and cold seasons, turn down thermostat so burner doesn't come on during the "perfect" take.
Head to the cellar and hit the circuit breaker for the fridge.
Assess what's going on outside with wind blowing against the house, birds chirping (crows especially!) which shoot straight through condenser mics.
(sigh).....and so it goes!!
