House came with a smart thermostat, but we had to pay

After living in several different houses in the past few years, I realize that there are some very important factors in a home residence. I need to have a large outdoor space that feels semi-private from the neighbors. I need to have my own bedroom and bathroom so I can hide away from the world.

Summer freaks me out

Summer freaks me out

I’m not from these parts, & I suppose that’s an obvious fact. When I moved here I knew there would be a lot of adjustment before I could fit in with the locals, but I never expected that I would have so much work to do with my own psyche, and you see, I’m the

Stuck in a room with no vents

We brought in a small fan to help circulate the air but it just isn’t enough. I always feel good about volunteering with local organizations that help out those less fortunate. One of the places that I help out is a local food pantry. In many cases these types of facilities rely on churches and

The train filled with chilly air

Being stuck on a train is not ideal. I tried to make it loft for Christmas on the train. I didn’t have another mode of transportation. The train is cheaper than flying too. So I ended up getting stuck on the train. The tracks are completely covered with snow. There is no way of removing

I have to admit, I am the type of person who puts a lot of care & attention into my inanimate objects. In particular, I am a bit too obsessed with my indoor plants & garden. I know that a lot of people have proudly proclaimed that they are planned moms these mornings… But I

Better alone

Better alone

I’m the sort of person who has a hard time getting into relationships. I like to be on my own, because I like the freedom of running my own life without worrying about anybody else. If I want to spend my time a certain way, I don’t want to worry about someone having hurt feelings.

We always go to my house

I think it’s interesting how people tend to play similar roles in all of their relationships. For instance, when it comes to my romantic relationships and friendships, I have a few designated responsibilities. I’m generally the practical, eager to plan, and emotionally sensitive person in the relationship. I like to take care of people in

Extended air ducts to garage

When my husband and I got together I was extremely attracted to him for one particularly large fact. He is a very handy person and he ambitiously takes on many projects to fill his time. He’s not the sort of guy who just sits around and watches TV or stares at his cell phone when

My husband plus I own two homes, but from September until sometime in March, my buddy and I live along the southeastern coast of the country… My friend and I care about moderate weather plus sun plus avoid the brutal cold plus endless feet of snow up north. For the remaining six months, my buddy

Living in changing seasonal environment

Living in changing seasonal environment

I know a ton of people who insist that they could never live in a temperature that reMained stable year round and I do not understand this stance! Now, having grown up in a seasonally dynamic area, I can understand the charm of seeing the seasons come and go, but I’m not nearly as fond

Leave it all to a professional

Leave it all to a professional

I feel as if you should never underestimate yourself. I am a do-it-yourself kind of man. I love to fix things and build things on my own. I hate having to rely on other people to do the dirty work. I feel as if I am just as capable as other people are in fixing

Heating maintenance is the deal now

Heating maintenance is the deal now

I just set my hour timer so that it gives me something to race against while I write. I still need to do my yoga and Spanish practice after writing, which is going to be strenuous to do because all my buddies are playing at the shore. Maybe I will do my Spanish lesson on
