Tread Lightly, Retire Early

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 128)

Another Friday, huh? Honestly, I'm ready for life to just slow down a little bit. I keep wondering though, is life really all that busy, or did we just get used to life being slower for a couple of years due to COVID? Perhaps it's somewhere in between, but I think it really is the…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 127)

Holy cow it's August. COVID time is seriously weird, all. I hope you're staying healthy - as much as some people might want to talk about how we are in the "postpandemic" phase of life, I know far too many people actively sick with COIVD right now or still struggling with lingering side effects. We've…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 126)

While not the heat some of last summer, we’re a week into a heatwave with temperatures topping 90° daily. That might not sound like “extreme heat” to folks who deal with warm temperatures regularly, but for here, it is significantly warmer than normal. Plus, the majority of homes here do not have air conditioning. At…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 125)

As of this morning, I've biked over 100 miles on my new e-bike. Honestly, I wish I could replace all of my car trips with my bike at this point, but alas, that hasn't been feasible. Me being me, I of course have a new excel spreadsheet tracking these miles. Shall I celebrate when I…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 124)

Happy Friday, all. Everything I've been writing lately has been extremely angry and depressing, and while I absolutely feel those things, I'm going to attempt to be a bit more positive today. We'll see how long that lasts, but I do want to remind myself - and all of you - that not all is…

The Continuation of COVID (the warning sign to our world)

I have to say, I'm really sick of noting what week of COVID we're in on these posts. The current transmission rate in our county is something like 20% right now, and that's mirrored across most of the country. While so many people are "over it" and pretending like COVID isn't a thing, we're still…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Roe v Wade is Dead)

Added note: I finished writing this post on Thursday but woke up to the news that Roe v Wade is no longer. I don’t yet have any words, but my partner Regina does - go check out her Twitter thread. Her words are my words today. And now the rest of this post feels silly…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 120)

Once again, I skipped my Frugal Five last week, this time because I was on a red eye flight to North Carolina to fiiiiiiiiiinally see Erin and Young FIRE Knight get married. They originally had set the date for summer 2020, so you can probably guess how that went. It was a whirlwind trip, landing…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 118)

Around here, “June Gloom” is a phrase we’re all used to - wet and gray weather through the 4th of July when summer officially starts in the Pacific Northwest. Usually, though, June Gloom feels acute because we’ve had some nice days in April and May (along with plenty of rain). This year, however, we basically…

Absolutely nothing good to say

Well, since I skipped last week’s post, I figured it I shouldn’t skip a second week in a row (that whole lose the routine and then don’t blog for two years thing). This week though……. This week is rough. I’ve spent a lot of time crying and hugging my seven year old. I cannot fathom…
