    Coffee

    Y’all are reminding me I missed the persimmons from our trees this year. The last of ours fell the 2nd week of October.

    Coffee

    Sorry. I should I have clarified. The space heaters keep the house plenty warm. It stays above 60 and we could probably get it warmer if we weren’t concerned with the electric bill. It’s the outside that was that cold. Luckily Someone should be coming to fix it soon. We’ve been waiting for...

    Coffee

    Oatmeal with strawberries and a cup of green tea for breakfast. Still no central heating. The space heaters are doing a good job though. It was 26F when I woke up at 5am. It’s above freezing now but not by much. They are saying it will hit the low 20s by next weekend.

    Those look like the type used for bubble tea. Not sure what else they are good for as I’ve never used that type.

    Rained on and off yesterday. Drizzled a few times today but seems to be clearing. Currently in the 80s here. The 10 day forecast is looking dry and 70s-80s until next Saturday when it’s supposed to freeze again. I’m hoping for snow soon. Being so rare I really enjoy the beauty of it. It being...

    Coffee

    Having coffee with my breakfast today. The strawberry beds are on hold again. I got as far as digging up the ones I promised to friends but need to get dad to crank up the tiller for the new bed. Still working on putting stuff back together now that the flooring is down. I got one of the...

    Eating Well on a Budget

    This thread makes me wish I was home to cook more often. I’m only home for perhaps one meal a day on workdays and it’s usually dinner which tends to be the lightest one of the day for me. Tomorrow is an off day though so I’ll probably start tomorrow off with a giant plate of scrambled eggs and...

    Coffee

    Had coffee with lunch today. My feet were dragging at work. Just finished an 8 hour shift. Now I’m feeling pretty wired. Need to dig in the strawberry patch. Run laundry and finish unpacking now that the flooring is down. No nap today.

    Coffee

    Spent the last two hours trying to figure out why I was still so tired after getting 9 hours of sleep. Now that the coffee has kicked in I had to remind myself that that’s the first night I’ve gotten more than 6 hours of sleep this week and I spent all day yesterday moving furniture. No wonder I...

    Coffee

    Ended up drinking 3 cups of coffee yesterday to survive. One at the start of the work day. An iced coffee upon leaving work and to pick up groceries and the cat from the vet. Then another at the sports game I went too last night so that I wouldn’t pass out on the drive home. I only slept about 6...

    We’ve gone from freezing cold back to a high of 75 with a tornado watch. It’s certainly been an interesting week.

    Coffee

    30F when I left for work this morning. The main area where we have a space heater is staying around 60F. The rest was in the 50s. Had coffee for breakfast and planning on a cup of green tea when I leave work.

    Coffee

    Luckily it’s been sunny today so despite the cold it’s still a reasonable temp in the house still. Unluckily we’ve had no luck finding a repairman that can come out the same day. Also we can’t find the space heaters we’ve been putting off pulling out of storage. I think might have a heated...

    Thought of TEG Cat Owners

    These are the newest foster kittens. Someone left these babies in the local park a few weeks ago. Someone looks like my cat as a baby. Here’s the pic from when I brought him home

    Coffee

    @digitS' We’re looking at a hard frost/freeze now. Lows here are predicted to be around 30 two nights in a row. Most recent most by the local weather station below. It’s certainly crazy that you haven’t seen frost yet where you are but we have this coming already. Definitely feeling concerned...
