i’ve never had one of these before and it’s a staple of most homes

I know this is crazy, but I've never before owned a hall tree. In the past, company would throw their coats down on furniture or I'd offer to take their coats and sweaters only to toss them across a bed. So dumb since it's not like a huge purchase or anything. Old...

i keep dragging the same stuff out every year

One of these days I'll have to break down and buy some new ornaments and Christmas decor. I keep hauling the same boxes out and using the same stuff year after year. I don't know where this bird came from, but she's been hanging out at my house in December for who...

ruggable update and christmas is in da house

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...

i found a new author I like… no, i LIKED

I listen to quite a few books. When I take a bath... cook a meal... make the bed... I have a book playing on my phone. I prefer to listen to books as opposed to reading them especially when I'm outside. I'd rather enjoy the view. I no longer subscribe to Audible, but...

pool woes – will it ever get closed?

COVID negative but i’ve got something

I starting feeling a bit under the weather on Friday during the trip back home from Disney. Freezing cold with a sore throat, I knew I had some kind of bug. It will be 1 week tomorrow and whatever this is has progressed to congestion primarily -- feeling awful...

is this sunset #48 already??

So this is a tad early. But the sky was just so amazing, I didn't want to pass the chance to share it with you. Taken from the backyard of the Pesky neighbors, the sky was fire. Summertime is hot. 🙂 Heat advisory for the upcoming week... pool time is in our future....

i could see my breath this morning!

I'm up early today because the HVAC dude is expected here AGAIN this morning. He'll be here by (or a bit before) 8:00 AM to fix the upstairs unit(s) AGAIN. I learned something though so lost sleep was worth it! There's not an exact temperature at which condensation...

intermittent fasting and sunset #42 of 52

This diet -- low carb combined with intermittent fasting -- works. The bad news is, I'm HANGRY. This only eating between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM sucks. I want food at 10:30 or so... even something low in calories would be just fine. But nope. Ya get nada. 🤐 I like...
