Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 139)

After all of my/our collective whining about how it's been too hot/dry/smoky in the PNW this fall, we've skipped right over to winter this week. So much rain - but clear air! I think perhaps this is the first year where I haven't heard anyone complain about the rain yet. (It's still early though -…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 138)

Hallelujah! The air is finally clear today! And the rain has returned. I swear, there has never been a year where the whole of the Western Pacific Northwest has been so excited to see the rain. It has been weeks and weeks of mostly awful air quality and temperatures 10-20 degrees above normal. Today is…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 137)

It's mid October, and it hasn't started raining. It's been in the 70s almost every day this month, including two that hit or came close to eighty degrees. And we might have another eighty degree day coming up. By this time, temperatures are usually only in the low sixties, and October usually sees 4 inches…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 136)

It is now the end of the first week of October, but we definitely haven't had October weather yet. The first two days of the month were eighty degrees, and we've been hovering in the mid seventies the rest. The lingering warm weather might be nice, except for the fact that because of no rain…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 134)

After putting our pup down on Friday, we escaped for the weekend. I started looking at options once I knew we were saying goodbye, because I knew it would be better for all of us if we weren't looking under the kitchen table for a dog that was long longer there. Everything is expensive right…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Good Dog Tribute)

Today, Friday, we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Sasha. (I'm writing this beforehand but will publish after. I don't think I'd be able to write this...after. I think then I'll be stepping away from the internet for a few days.) This week has been brutally hard. Saying goodbye to pets is always agonizing, but…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 132)

Well, we've escaped the smoky skies and extra terrible wildfires up here in the PNW for most of this summer, but the smoke is headed on in this weekend. Fingers and toes crossed that things can stay in check for the next month or so, because it is dry out there. In comparison to a…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 131)

Welcome to September! Hopefully we're now done with the weather in the 90s (maybe even the 80s after this week) here in the Pacific Northwest. Though there are some serious heatwaves going on elsewhere right now, regardless of the fact that we've ticked over into meteorological fall. Climate chaos is just getting started, folks. In…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 130)

I find that I am still very much attached to this blog, even if these days it's mostly just a diary update of our lives as we continue through the 2020s and everything that entails. There is plenty I would like to write about (unlike when I first started blogging in 2017 and was worried…

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…
