I've been trying to write a blog post for over a week now. It's just not coming. I've looked a blogging prompts and, again, nothing's coming. I don't know what's going on, but it happens. So, instead of trying to force a blog post to happen, I'm just gonna take a break from blogging for… Continue reading Taking a break from blogging

So, we were all prepared to go another night without power since we totally thought that the crews from PNM (our local power company) worked sensible business hours unless it was an emergency, and we were okay with that. For those that missed my last post, we lost power due to a tree branch taking… Continue reading And we have power

I've got my laptop hooked up to my phone so I have about two hours of internet time before my battery runs out. Hopefully, we'll have power back tonight. The electrician is working on that now. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Okay, last night, like, seconds after we let the dogs in, Doug was… Continue reading Sparks a flyin’

But here we are. I mentioned last Sunday that I had jury duty this week. It didn't last long. I called on Monday and they told me to come in on Tuesday, so I cancelled all of my plans for the week because, well, jury duty. I spent most of the morning Tuesday in the… Continue reading Not much to write about

Seriously, y'all. I'm tired. Last week kind of came and went, and a lot happened, but it's all kind of a blur. Like we had something to do almost every day, but honestly, dear reader... I don't remember much of it. I took Poptart to the vet some time in there, and he's fine. It… Continue reading Mostly, I’m tired

Not a lot happened this week. We finally got our air conditioning fixed, and that's about it. Of course, that was kind of a long process in and of itself. Like, it took days. But it got done. I feel better for it. Doug feels better too. The dogs are all really happy that it's… Continue reading It’s been a calm week.

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. Because there's one thing that I haven't gotten over from my childhood, and that's my house has gotta… Continue reading It’s been a busy week

So, not much happened this week. I mean, as the title suggests, it was a calm week. I did get to the gym *most* days and did my half hour on the treadmill. It's not an easy habit to get into, dear reader, especially when one hasn't exercised regularly for nearly ten years. But, I'm… Continue reading A Calm Week
