Summer freaks me out

I’m not from these parts, and I think 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. You see, I’m the sort

After living in numerous unusual houses in the past few years, I realize that there are some entirely important factors in a condo residence. I need to have a large outdoor space that feels semi-private from the neighbors. I need to have my own family room and bathroom so I can hide away from the

Not the brightest bulb; kid hides weed in air vent

Sometimes I look at my children and wonder where on Earth they came from. They have strange interests that I can’t relate to, they have opinions that don’t align with anyone else in the family, and honestly they can be rather dense. I consider myself to be a fairly logical and intelligent human, so it

Plants are glad I got a humidifier

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

Living in the city presents several unique challenges. Everyone knows that the traffic is absolutely terrible here, and you are doomed to experience frustrating traffic jams and commutes on a daily basis. The outdoor air quality is also something to consider. For most of the year it is ridiculously hot and humid outside, and we

In my apartment I can see that there is a crack in the door. In fact there is a pretty massive one. When the front door is closed I can entirely see outside. There is a hole between the door and the wall. This hole between door in the wall is fairly large. I can
