I hate doing the grocery. I hate doing the grocery when it is raining cats and dogs. And I hate doing the grocery after noontime. I have good reasons for hating this particular chore. Firstly, I don’t like going out of the house when I am in my blogging mood. Secondly, I don’t like getting my feet wet and drive in the pouring rain. And lastly, half of the entire Standish population is in the store doing their groceries too and I had to wait in a long queue to pay my goods and get out of that store. But I had to do what I had to do.
Groceries and Rain Don’t Go Together
Hubby’s Hobby Hub
Living in Maine for over a year now, I’ve learned to deal with a lot of things. I have learned to adapt to a lot of things. And I have learned to adjust to a lot of things. And when you live in Maine you have to deal with cold weather. Winter here is bitter and long. And with that condition, I was able to learn how to manage living my new life without freezing out, quite literally and figuratively.
Hubby who lives here in Maine all his life hates winter time. He hates the cold weather. He hates the snow, though he loves ice-fishing. And most importantly he hates the cold floor. Like any Mainers I know, he never wears slippers around the house. That is why when it is winter time he always complains about the cold floor. Good thing he knows how to handle that problem. And he handled that problem quite well with ThermoSoft’s Radiant floor heat that he installed together with our laminated wood flooring. It was just perfect.
Hubby, being a carpenter by trade knows exactly what to do with anything and everything about houses. That is why, when he made the renovation of our basement, which is really the coldest place in the house [especially during wintertime] and converted it into his hobby hub where he displays all his hunting trophies, he contacted ThermoSoft, the best heating company that creates the best and the most affordable floor heating systems for more than 12 years now. We just love our new basement because the warm floor makes the room cozy and comfy especially during those cold days and even during summer time, because if you live in Maine, we have a saying here… “if you don’t like the weather wait 5 minutes” because the weather is very unpredictable, the temperature can drop anytime. And the best thing about ThermoSoft is that we don’t even pay much on our electric bill because their heating system is very efficient and low in energy consumption. And I am happy on that aspect.
Multi-Tasking
My friend from Singapore is online right now. And we are chatting [as of this writing] while doing the laundry, watching my step-son and writing another write-up for my other blogs. Yes, I am multi-tasking right now. And that is the only way I can deal with my social life which honestly speaking has taken a back seat since I came here to Maine and become a homemaker. What can I do? I have a life to leave. And complaining won’t do any good either. So the best I could do is to do everything all at the same time. It’s effective and it makes sense to me, somehow.
