I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
My daughter bought a vacuum cleaner specifically made for pet hair to clean her house. Every now and then she talks about getting a second dog. Geeeeez! Cleaning up after one dog is enough!
When I go to the dog park I am amazed at how many people own more than one dog.
I have never had more than one dog or cat at the time in my house.
I did have more than one cat when I was a kid because my friend down the street would bring kitties to my house every time her mom said that she couldn’t keep them.
My mom kindly told my friend to stop bringing kittens to our house but she let me keep the kittens! LOL 😆
I’m no electrician . But that sounds odd . Could turning on the vacuum be killing the GFIs ? Maybe the circuit breaker that GFI is on needs to be replaced .
One time we needed a new circuit breaker that the large voltage outlet for the clothes dryer was tied to.
The dryer would not go on unless I kept pushing the button for awhile first . I thought it was the dryer . Then the breaker started to trip when I tried to start the dryer . Then I knew the circuit breaker was the problem .
I use a dirt devil on the stairs because it’s smaller and lighter . That’s what broke . I have a bigger vacuum for the rest .
My cat has short hair . But when my daughter lived at home her long hair was a vacuum killer !!!
I agree . I only have carpet in two rooms and the stairs . But even with hardwood , two rooms have a big area rug to keep it warmer . 🤷♀️
What colors did you choose for painting your rooms?
I love looking at paint colors. I can never decide by the little paint cards.
I usually buy a sample can and paint it on a poster board and hang it up on the wall for a couple of days before I decide whether I like it or not.
Yay! Your renovations will be finished soon.
Exercising regularly helps us to feel our best. So many of us start to lose muscle mass as we age. We need to do something to build muscle.
Yep, I am still going to exercise classes and i enjoy it alot. It is a mix of balance and strength. Yoga moves, light weights, bands and stretching. She mixes it up every day.
Oh okay, I was visualizing that a stylist cut your hair into an ‘old fashioned’ style that made you look 20 years older! LOL 😆
This wasn’t a pretty purple, it was a strange color! My girls have done the pink, purple and blue hair thing! I think the blue is really pretty.
The most embarrassing thing I experienced a while back with my hair was, I selected the wrong hair color.
I ended up having to attend my daughter’s play with PURPLE hair instead of auburn! LOL 😆
I decided after that to let my natural hair color grow out. It’s just about all silver now and I love it!!
Geeeeeez! Did you try a new stylist? Or was your regular one having an off day?
The inconveniences will be all worth it when your renovation is over.
Are you still exercising at the senior center? What kind of exercises do y’all do?
I'm glad you have the lower level to hide in. I had the main and second floors done and not so much in the basement except the bathroom so I lived there for several months but at one point had to run up two flights to the upstairs bathroom. Never again!!!

Because of my crooked spine, I wasn’t allowed to carry a school bag in my teens, and to take books home for homework I had to pull a shopping trolley behind me, two handed. The Versa Cart is just a better version of that. Very familiar!
But it was a pain to walk the trolley all the way back & so lazier housemates kept bringing trolleys home but not retuned them! I remember 3 of us wheeling 3 trolleys back to the supermarket along a busy road - oh the shame!
After that we just took a trolley to the bus stop loaded up with backpacks, caught the bus & left the trolley there. A lesser crime.
Awwwww, the kiddie shopping carts sound precious!
It cracks me up when I see a tiny dog in the shopping cart! Many people take their dogs everywhere with them!
We also have the cutest little carts for kids to push around at one grocery store . They have a flag that sticks up at eye level ( so you see them coming and don’t run them over ) that says shopper in training .
Not much, either a quarter or fifty cents. You drop the coins in to release the cart.
It is supposed to be a deterrent, you’re right.
How much money to use the cart ? If you don’t bring it back , and you don’t get the money back , it’s still cheaper than buying a cart . Charging rent money to use the cart isn’t really a deterrent from stealing it .
We just got rid of our old luggage without wheels. I have seen people convert them into custom dog and cat beds.
