Way back, when I was living in a camper, I learned online that if you soak a large cloth (like a blanket or sheet) in water and hang it to dry, the act of drying will help cool the air in a small space like a camper or van. This was on a forum for… Continue reading Checking in

Last Sunday seems so long ago, dear reader. Like months ago. The week started out uneventfully enough. Last weekend, we went out and bought me a new phone because my old phone wasn't holding a charge. I *think* we did that on Sunday? I don't remember. And, unfortunately, the dude at the Verizon store we… Continue reading It’s been a looonnngg week

I didn't plan for such a busy week, but it turned out to be one. 🙂 A friend of mine came over for a visit, which means I went on a cleaning frenzy before she got here.

So, I am stretched tight, mentally. I mentioned to y'all last week that we are still without a fence and the company is giving us the run around. I emailed them last week on Monday and told them that I found them in breach of contract and to refund our money. The office manager called… Continue reading Mental gymnastics

Well, yelled is probably not the right word, but I had strong words with at least two people this week. Three, come to think of it. Behold, dear reader, my front wall: front wall And while my flowers are coming along nicely, you'll might notice that there still is no fence topper on said wall.… Continue reading I yelled at people this week
