Tread Lightly, Retire Early

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…

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…
