- Finally got the last of last week’s ice chipped off of the driveway. The mercury rose above freezing for about 12 hours, and we took advantage of the tropical heat wave to clear our escape route. If you ever need a good overall body workout and stress reliever, get yourself a scraper and 3 to 4 inches of packed ice on cold concrete.
- It finally got chilly enough for me to call it cold last night. Since this is the sort-of-south, we’ll have to start letting our kitchen sink drip overnight for the next few days. If we ever remodel, I’m going to invest quite a bit on insulation. At the moment, it feels like our exterior walls are insulated with two raccoon pelts, half a bale of sub-standard cotton fluff, and a case of off-brand single-ply shop towels.
- If you ever feel smug about how well you keep your house clean, pull your dryer out. That’ll humble you right quick.
- The spent shotgun shell and multiple drywall screws I found at the core of the lint ball blocking the dryer vent tells me that I need to do a better job of checking pockets before running the laundry.
- It’s amazing how much difference a few ounces of lemon-scented oil, an old wash rag, and half an hour of effort can make to an old piece of wood furniture. Irish Woman has a fascination with furniture made from large chunks of heavy trees, so I think I’ll be spending a bit of time making things shiny in the near future.
