I started my morning before 7:00 AM. After dog detail -- that includes me walking Dharma off the deck in my shortie pajamas and fuzzy Ugg slip-ons that Ben says look like medieval peasant shoes -- I cleaned the oven. Morning coffee infused with the smell of vinegar...
Coco was supposed to be here today while Ben worked, but he's sick. Plans thwarted, I'm sitting here at my computer listening to both dogs snore and trying to think of what to do today. Perry is working a double, and it's too early to put away holiday decorations even...
Two family get-togethers on one day ain't easy, but we made it work. Festivities #1... The drive to Rising Sun was uneventful and we at least remembered to take group photos. The photos from my family's holiday were sketchy at best. I got lots of photos of people's...
Oura ring provided a year-end review for 2023 compiled of my recorded habits. Interesting stuff -- much of it needs to be addressed and improved. Let's dive right in... I typically get 6 hours and 2 minutes sleep per night. (While ok occasionally, that's not good...

First, if you read my post about my awful ruggable.com rug experience here on mycountyroad.com, you now need to read how they changed that -- making me a loyal customer on whatifitdid.com. To summarize, they sent another rug and pad that are both the right size, and...
Thanks, daylight savings time. An hour of sleep that I desperately needed is gone. Since dogs can't tell time, but go by daylight/dark to determine when I should get up, I'm now pretty darned sleepy. They're tired too! Out and about... drove through Seymour... And...
