The rather precarious and peculiar adventures of Hoby and Jojo
Christmas 2011? Already? In less than 2 weeks? Wuh?!?!? I really can’t believe it. It’s like it just sprang up out of nowhere. What happened to 2011? Where did it go? It’s like last year I just blinked and here we are; another year gone by and it’s Christmas again. Wow.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I have been rather introspective of late. (more…)
We decided about a month ago that we wanted to move out of our little apartment. I am SOOO tired of apartment living – the noise and mess from the neighbors, every message from the managment company having threatening overtones, and not to mention the raising of the rent every year. Sorry, been there and done that for two years now, tired of it.
Harold has been telling me that he is just a little bored with his job as watch bird. He also informed me that the pay stinks! I would have to agree with him on that.
He was just a little jealous of Hoby and I “getting” (ha) to go to work in the mornings. Harold thought that Biscuit could guard the house just as well as he does, at least during the day, since she is a heavy sleeper and wouldn’t hear a burglar over her own snoring at night.
We recently purchased an item that no self respecting midwesterner or south-easterner would ever consider purchasing (unless of course, you have sick kids). Being both self respecting midwesterners and southerners, we would have never considered the need to add moisture to the air! If we ever had such a thought back “home”, the walls would be dripping with condensation! As it is, you need to develop gills to survive the humidity back there. So, you would not want MORE humidity and you surely wouldn’t purchase a machine to add it!
Well, welcome to the Denver air. Not only do you want more moisture in it, but you NEED it. So, after a year of the dry air, we purchased a humidifier. It has really made sleeping in the bedroom more comfortable. It works very hard to get the humidity up to 36% at night. If it gets to 45% we are lucky. It takes about a gallon of water and 8 hours to get it there. We only use it at night and during the next day the humidity drops again. Oh well, I guess when in Rome…. well, not quite, but a humidifier has been a welcome addition out here in Colorado.
