Jennifer rejuvenated the door!
Great color choice but I’m more biased on liking the sign to keep the sales and Big Jesus people away. She threw in a welcome mat which probably will cause mixed signals with the shills I don’t want knocking on … Continue reading
The tree for 2022 is now ready!
Jennifer and Cheyenne decorated the tree yesterday! It looks pretty nice as per the movie I posted via YouTube. The star stopped working because Nubby chewed the cord despite our best efforts to hide it from him. If anyone … Continue reading
First tree at Castello di Maggi in years
Obviously this was Jennifer’s doing as you all know I’m not a fan of Christmas beyond a few movies, some navel-gazing nostalgia and putting together a humorous-weird musical compilation. Even before the divorce, Somara and I just gave up on … Continue reading
Curtains with the help of Task Rabbit
One of the compromises I’ve had to work through with Jennifer involved my immense Chucks collection. Firstly, she wanted them removed from the master bedroom and a TV placed on that wall. I said absolutely not. There’s no other room … Continue reading
That explains the burning smell…
Originally I thought it was another remnant of Jennifer’s pancake incident but when I heard the popping noises from the master bathroom, I quickly realized how dumb I was. The 20-year-old fan setup in there had reached the end of … Continue reading
Some painting before the new (overdue) furniture arrives
Yesterday, was joint painting day. As in Jennifer and I worked together on putting a couple coats on a master bedroom wall (or three) before the new stuff arrives. Reliving my college summers as a member of the Marquette Paint … Continue reading
I think I got my $15K’s worth
To give you a better idea of its scale, this puppy is bigger than either front-loading washer or dryer and I think most people know how large those things are. It’s almost taller than Jennifer’s daughter and Cheyenne is unusually … Continue reading
A home improvement that was probably overdue, new AC
I finally had a tech come out to see why the air conditioner wasn’t working to Jennifer’s satisfaction plus I was wondering why my Nest thermostat was presenting contradicting readings. Obviously as the title says, it was time for a … Continue reading
A great time at the Furniture Mall of Texas!
The next step in Operation Manhattan, new furniture! While I had the dumpster, the old bed and couch were ditched! I never liked the couch, it was a piece of crap. The bed needed to go since cats hide under … Continue reading
Farewell to Home 2 (Hilton) in Pflugerville!
Our joint home-away-from-home since January 27th has come to an end! It was mostly for Jennifer since I could still hang out at my place until the contractors showed up and I was with them all day. However, since I … Continue reading
Day Eight of the floors, it’s over! Dream & Nightmare!
More than one thing is off our collective backs. We wrapped up the floors tonight and maybe they’ll come in to clean, for all our care, I just want the furniture put back to where it used to be. I’ll … Continue reading
Day Seven of the floors, will it ever end?
It’s starting feel like Finals Week at Marquette but it’s longer than a week and I have two exams every day, including the weekends. Above we’re hanging out in will be and had been, my office. It’s the bigger of … Continue reading
Day Six of the floors, will it ever end?
Another morning of sleeping in pissed away. On the upside, the dumpster people towed away their part, thus missing the deadline the nosey HOA was going to fine me. I should rent one more often as part of a Spring … Continue reading
Day Five of the floors, it’s kinda’ going and no new pictures
We’re at the stage I call Zeno’s Paradox, which is really Zeno’s dichotomy paradox because he came up with many. The dichotomy one involving cutting the distance in half, then that in half, then in half, ad infinitum, is his most famous so it … Continue reading
Day Four of the floors, not much to report that’s interesting
Spot the difference? Yes, Isis is lying on the Star Wars blanket which is now resting on the new ceramic tiles in the room which will be designated Jennifer’s office. We moved there today because they’re now working on the master bedroom, … Continue reading
