Things I learned today… The roomba decided to do it’s thing down the hallway at almost 5:00 am.

She’s hot. Don’t be ridiculous, and tell her.
Ok, so this might sting. I only apologize in advance just a little, because I don’t really want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but it needs to be said.

Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, July 7, 2021
Things I learned today… I love it when I go to bed relatively early, fall into a deep sleep, then wake up in the night thinking it must be time to get up soon, and look to find it’s only 11:15 pm.

So that was a fiasco. Keith read that peppermint essential oil will get rid of our gnatContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, July 6th”

Things I learned today… I haven’t hand washed anything in a hundred years, and I sure don’t buy anything that has to be hand washed. Today, I had to hand wash a little sweater. Thanks, Stitch Fix.
