What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
Low key indeed - but woke up today with a blanket of snow so that's nice. Time for us to put on our snow sneakers and go walking in it while we still have it!

I never knew there was a difference until I got used to doing my laundry at a laundrymat in college and then did some while visiting home. The stiffness (jeans and sweatpants are the worst I think) and the lint. I still maintain that as far as appliances go, the dryer is the easiest to live without. At least in my climate. It's been super dry and windy here. My *favorite* combination. We might get a bit of snow of Wednesday, but I'm not holding my breath.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week. I hope you got to enjoy the snow you did get.
That stinks about the dryer. It would have been so much better had it been the warmer months where you could hang your clothes outside and have a natural breeze to help dry them a bit softer.
ReplyDeleteWeekend was very busy with grocery shopping, swim class for the pupper, and working long hours while covering for a coworker's vacation. I leave for my mammogram and ultrasound in a little bit here, and then I'll come home to celebrate our other pup's 14th birthday!! They will enjoy some doggie ice cream cups as a treat. =o)
