More ramblings

 Health insurance update.  Wegovy was delivered yesterday;  a perishable medication and was therefore shipped overnight. Problem solved.  

So annoyed.   I wanted to fix myself a snack.  I needed a plate, but my hands were full. I thought “I need to put everything down before I get the plate out of the cabinet. I don’t want to drop the plate. It’ll break.”  You can see where this is going. I put everything down, picked up the plate …and it slipped out of my hand.  I hate cleaning up a broken plate.

One of the tools in my “weight loss arsenal” is my air fryer.  About two years ago Becca practically waxed poetic about her air fryer and suggested I buy one,  I am so glad I listened to her advice.  Especially since I’ve gone gluten free —  gluten free bread tastes better toasted,   Yesterday at lunchtime I made a ham and cheese sandwich and grilled it in the air fryer.  So good.

One of my new favorites 

Vent time.  Neighbors, ugh.  Our municipality requires homeowners to shovel snow off the sidewalks in front of their homes.  That task falls to us, not our landlord, since we rent the entire house, so of course we cleared the sidewalk in front of our house.  I’d hate for anyone to slip and fall in front of our house. (So far we’ve had an Amazon delivery, a UPS delivery (my medication),a grocery delivery and two visits from our mail carrier.  No one slipped.)

But our neighbors?  

Let’s start with the neighbors whose house is next to our driveway.  They’re very good about maintaining their property, the gentleman even comes onto our driveway to trim his shrubs that hang over the fence between our properties.  But they didn’t shovel their sidewalk.  No idea why. They just left it.  No excuses, there was a young man  with a shovel ringing doorbells Mi day,

But the neighbors on the other side …

We’ve never spoken to them.  Our property manager advised us that they suffer from a common suburban malady known as I own the street in front of my house.  Apparently they have two driveways but more cars than will fit on their driveways,  and there was a dispute between them and the previous tenants over parking spaces …

We shoveled our sidewalk before they shoveled theirs. We shoveled to the property line.  Or, at least, where we assume the property line to be (l looked to see where their fence met ours …)

They shoveled later in the day.

Want to see what they did?  Or rather, what they didn’t do?

They shoveled to the edge of their driveway and left about two feet of sidewalk covered in snow.  That’s just nasty and spiteful.

Ah, suburban life …
