an airing of domestic grievences
Moving packing is awful, obviously. I don’t know about everyone else, but it’s always been the absolute worst part of the moving process for me. (Best part is obvs apartment hunting, because I am a creep and I love seeing the insides of other people’s homes.) I’m pretty sure it’s like 90% of the reason […]
Meet my bff Cayce, guys: We weirdly have almost no pictures together where we’re not making super dumb faces, so here are some dumb faces. I think we were trying to take a nice picture but then she started spraying me with a my plant spritzer because she’s the worst. We’ve pretty much reached the […]
Is the bathroom done yet? Of course not! There’s been lots of stuff going on at the BFPC hovel lately–some of it is super fun (big new project that does not involve my house!!!) and some of it is very boring (accounting final, I’m looking at you), so I’ve been putting off the last part of […]
Alright, so far I have vanquished the mold painted the walls and ceiling (and the hallway outside of the bathroom in a fit of annoyance) slightly improved the grout situation and replaced all of the disgusting caulk rigged up a fan and then the very exciting part… put down new flooring! If you’re freaking out, don’t, […]
According to the internet, vent fans are NOT required in bathrooms as long as there is an openable window at least three square feet in size. This is crazy, right? I mean, maybe that makes sense in Arizona, but what are people who live in normal places supposed to do when it’s 10 degrees […]
To be clear, the title is not sarcastic. Grouting is literally the easiest bit of home improvement I have ever done. This piece of knowledge obviously amplifies my outrage over the previous grout job by about a billion. As a stomach-churning reminder, this is what we started out with: For extra outrage, here’s a […]
It’s bad, guys. Real bad. My apartment isn’t nice, per se: it’s old, and anything that’s not old is the cheapest whatever possible. But I’m lucky in that where old stuff was replaced with cheap new stuff, at least it was installed mostly correctly. All of the outlets work and we don’t have to have […]
In the grand tradition of pretty much every year I can remember since about age 12, I have declared this year to be the year where I Finally Get My Shit Together. I’m not going to let the fact that I’ve failed at that task every single other time I’ve attempted it stop me, because, […]
Weaving! Everybody is basically a professional weaver right now, right? I’ve always wanted to give it a shot but then the internet got pretty saturated with so many crazy fringey neon roving yarn barf creations and I got pretty impatient with the whole thing. It kind of started moving into goofy crochet territory (just because […]
Real talk: I don’t really like to Travel with a capital T. I get that it’s amazing and mind-expanding and the most important thing a person can do and blah blah blah, but unless you have a ton of money to throw around it’s also stressful, exhausting, and generally pretty physically uncomfortable. If I could afford […]
