Moving Diaries - Hotter than Hades or FIRST thing in the morning

*** Wrote this last week. 

MOVING is an adventure they said. We are still waiting on our furniture, so we have decided to some painting. As we were working in our new to house.  We noticed that it was warmish, and the temperature kept rising. People, they call that a clue. We left for the day, but we decided to come back later. It was even warmer. We call the AC people. Supposedly our unit is only two years old. So, first company says we have to call the original. company. So here I sit.




It seems like every repair person we have called says they will be there first thing in the morning. I don't know what the time is for first thing in the morning. Is that 8 o'clock, 9, 10? They don't give definite times. Where I lived previously, they usually said between 9 and 12 and then proceed to show up at like 12:01. Well the eager beaver, I am arrived at 7:30 and as I type this it is 10.  It is currently 89 in my house and 85 outside. It is suppose to reach like 100. Luckily I am sitting on the enclosed porch with a strong wind blowing.

UPDATE - it is now 1130 and 91 degrees in my house and I am abandoning ship so to speak. I found out that my time is now between 1230 and 430. I am hot and annoyed. I have a cold so I am REALLY hot and annoyed.

UPDATE 2 -  12:31 the repair person arrives. Hallelujah! Leaking Freon is my new band name. Good news is that it is temporarily fixed.

Weekly Roll


Linky Love

Bees are Fish - Interesting work around to save and protect the bees. I was asking my son fish boy about this.  It was a good discussion

Movies without Popcorn - Say it isn't so that there is going to be a movie popcorn shortage

Sharon McMahon has no use for Rage Baiting -sharonsaysso is an instagrammer and podcaster that breaks down political topics in bipartisan way.  I am not sure how I found her, but I enjoy her.

Weirdly specific trend that has taken over women's fiction - Oh my gosh this is so true

Iditarod Dog Found - this is amazing

Inappropriate Thoughts


I have a confession I am terrible at tying my shoes. My husband frequently ties my shoes. So, the sentiment doesn't stand for me.

Moving Diaries - Glittery Thrones


 Well how do I put it, our new house has a glittery toilet seat.  Somehow this seems appropriate for someone who has a blog named after a honeypot. I totally didn't remember this in our walk through. Granted we only were in the house one time before we purchased it. I will discuss why this is probably not a good idea in a future diary entries. This glittery toilet is off the master bedroom and we are giving this room to our oldest son.  


Picture above is a before photo.  The tile is an interesting speckled purple/burgundy color. My son chose a good vibes type of decorating theme and it seems to work.  I am going to work on some diy art work for this space.


Towels, rug and shower curtain is all from Walmart. My youngest son is the one in the picture.


The new seat in all her glory. One project down and a 100 more to go.

Wordy Wednesday

 


                                 I saw this in a Roswell NM parking lot. It made me chuckle.

Moving Diaries - Vacation Rental Cooking

 My husband has been working out of state off and on during the pandemic staying at extended stay hotels and a studio apartment. He has allergies to onions, peppers, and garlic so eating out is pretty limited. He does a lot of cooking and these short stay places. During our move we are staying at a cute air bnb which has a full-sized stove, full-sized refrigerator, and microwave. It is pretty equipped but as I showed in my weekly roll it has margarita glasses but no paring knife.


Things that my husband bought to make his life easier to cook

instant pot

large skillet with lid

nice knife

plastic containers


Menu for the past week

Pizza - bought

Chicken Bacon Subs - I made them individual on stadium/philly rolls (Instant Pot Shred Chicken)

Chicken Sesame Pasta Salad a little ingredient heavy but it is something my hubby can eat.

Hamburgers - no grill - oven frozen hamburger patties

Sheet Pan Pork Chops with Apples
