If you’ve been following on social media, you know that we inherited some cats when we moved into our house. While I bristle at the “cat lady” designation, the truth is, I do love cats, although Tommy is more of a dog person (he’s allergic to cats). I say that we “inherited” these cats because we didn’t choose to have them and we don’t have any control over how they breed and if they live or not. We can’t cuddleRead More
I realize that as the time counts down to us leaving, I should get some more blog post up, especially those of the series I’ve started. So here we have an account of a fairly typical Friday. 7:30AM We woke up and I made breakfast while Tommy hooked up the pump to fill our water tank.

We took her in service with us andRead More
Tuesday is our day off. In order for a day off to be refreshing for me, I don’t like to structure it too much so, as a result, it’s a bit difficult to quantify but I’ll try. 7:00AM I can’t really sleep in too much, even on a day off so we’re usually up by 7:00. We make breakfast, sometimes something special like breakfast pizza or pancakes because we have more time. Then we start our day as most daysRead More
