I live too far from an organized gym to make a membership worthwhile, and the weather in our local section makes it just about impossible to workout outside! I’ve needed to set up a lake house gym. I am fortunate that I have a good sized room that I can devote absolutely to our exercise equipment. There’s plenty of room for a couple of larger machines. I can still have enough square footage to go through odd series of jumping jacks, mountain climbers, squats plus lunges. I’ve invested into an incline bench that doesn’t take up much space yet increases the intensity plus benefits of doing crunches. I’m able to absolutely adjust the severity of the incline plus target both upper plus lower abdominal muscles. I’ve added a miniature trampoline that provides a good cardio workout without hard impact on our joints. I can increase our heart rate plus labor our lungs however avoid aches plus pains in our ankles, knees plus feet. The trampoline is honestly small yet I can perform a wide variety of exercises on it. Every time I buy a new piece of equipment, it renews our excitement plus motivation. I tend to labor harder plus longer. I get more out of the training session. When I added kettlebells, I couldn’t wait to mess around with them. When I bought a new jump rope, I jumped every single day for more than one weeks. I recently bought a set of battle ropes. I needed to Google how to use them plus familiar posture to avoid injury. They are harshly bad yet actually rewarding.

Modern wireless home security systems
There was a time when adding a security system meant drilling holes in walls and ceilings to accommodate wires.
The installation created quite a mess and the various components were bulky and unattractive.
When improvements to the system became available, the whole thing needed to be replaced. Plus, a home security system was a big investment. Not many homeowners were willing to spend that kind of money on something that negatively impacted aesthetics and quickly became outdated. Today’s wireless technology has changed all that. Modern security systems are installed without any disruption to the home. The components are compact, sleek and barely noticeable. As new versions of the technology are introduced, updates are easy to make. The control panel of the security system is typically a touchscreen that is small, unobtrusive and easy to navigate. There are also a wide variety of sophisticated features that make these systems more worthwhile. They do more than just alert a homeowner to a break-in. Through a handy app on the smartphone the homeowner receives notification anytime anyone enters the perimeter of the property. It’s simple to check the security of the home from anywhere at any time. It’s possible to lock and unlock doors, activate lights, and watch real-time video footage. Because of surveillance cameras, the homeowner can actually see who is standing on the front porch and converse with them. There are also motion-activated lights, occupancy sensors, moisture sensors, glass breakage sensors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and a lot more that can be added to the security system. It can also be incorporated into a whole home automation system.
Short term housing has flexible leasing agreements
Did you know that the average size of a hotel room is approximately 400 square feet? Of course, if you opt for a luxury suite, you’ll get more room, which means you will be paying more money for your stay. My townhouse is about 2,000 square feet and I have a small backyard. So, 400 square feet is a bit small when you really think about it. It’s hard to get comfortable in a space that small. And especially if you’re a business traveler, staying in a hotel room for more than a few days can become a nuisance. This is the reason why a lot of business travelers will opt for short term housing instead. Short term housing are fully furnished spaces that offer the renter flexible leasing opportunities. Most of these units are available for rent for as little as 30 days. And many of the owners or managing companies will extend the rental agreement to a month-to-month lease at the request of the renter. This flexible lease agreement is great for travelers who are in the medical field. They will opt for short term housing because there are many times where their assignments are extended without too much notice. Short term housing is also great for someone who is relocating to another state. It gives them the flexibility of signing a 6-month lease versus signing a year-long commitment with a regular rental property. At the end of the day short term housing is better than hotel rooms and the flexibility of the lease makes them attractive to the business traveler.
My daughter wants to become a crime scene cleanup technician
As a teen, my daughter Mia was obsessed with crime scene investigation shows.
She was always glued to the TV watching these shows over and over again.
So, it was no surprise when she expressed that she wanted to become a crime scene cleanup technician. I was hoping that she would’ve selected a crime scene investigator instead because that job was less hands-on. It takes a lot of bravery and strength to become a crime scene cleanup technician. But I am allowing her to follow her dreams and all I will do is support her in whatever way I can. I didn’t know what kind of requirements were needed to work as a crime scene cleanup technician and when we researched it, we discovered that most of the requirements were standard. The only requirement that Mia needed was EMT experience and she definitely didn’t have that under her wings. So of course, she enrolled in a 2-year EMT program so that she could get the certification as well as experience that she needs. The other requirement that she needs is that she must be 21 years old in order to work for most of these crime scene cleanup companies. Currently, Mia is 18 years old, so by the time she finishes her EMT certificate and works as an EMT for a year or two, she would be at the age to work as a crime scene cleanup technician. I am so excited for her, but as her mom, I must admit that I am worried as well. Being a crime scene cleanup technician is no easy job and I just hope Mia will be able to succeed at it.
Vehicle detailing became a necessity.
I didn’t know my daughter was sick when we went to the grocery store, but I knew it on the way home.
She vomited all over the back of the car seat and on the floor.
She had to be taken inside, bathed, and dressed warmly before I could even consider my car. Once I got her settled in bed with some medicine, I went to the garage to clean the car. The car was so ripe from the heat and sun that I couldn’t stand to open the door and get inside to clean. I called the vehicle detailing shop and told them what had happened. I then asked if they could clean the car and make it bearable to get into. The man behind the desk commiserated with me and said he hoped my daughter felt better soon, and then asked if I wanted the car picked up? It surprised me when the man from the vehicle detailing shop brought a wrecker to pick up the car. He said he didn’t want to drive the car with it being as bad as I thought. The next morning, they returned my car. It was cleaner than I remembered it ever being, and the stains and smell were completely gone. I didn’t think my car would ever look or smell this fresh again, but I was wrong. The vehicle detailing shop did an amazing job, and it only cost me $125. It also impressed my husband with the job they did and the cost for their services. Three days later, our daughter was back to her old self and running around like she had never been sick.

I had to shut down the heating plan
Today, I have felt kind of exasperated because our main pigskin squad has been struggling hard against other elite teams. My main QB is usually throwing over 300 yards per game, however this 1 will be very close. The frustrating thing is that some of our other players haven’t been performing quite as well, so I’m only losing by a couple of points. Before, I had our temperature controls set to a comfortable level, however truthfully, I’ve been jumping around in addition to hollering about all the excessive penalties. I’ve been feeling a little overheated in addition to I had to turn down the oil furnace. It’s chilly outside, however inside the up-to-date home it is kind of hot, so I had to turn up the ceiling fan too. My partner told me that it’s just fantasy pigskin in addition to our team is going to win the game anyway! Of course, I’m not so sure about that. Then our partner asked me if I could turn the heating plan back up because it was getting a little bit chilly according to her. It’s an unbelievable thing both of us have a ductless mini split system, because the bedroom is in another zone from the residing room. I was able to keep the heating plan turned off in the front room where I was watching the game. My partner reMained in the bedroom with her normal temperature control settings. With all the hollering in addition to shouting I’m going to be doing during the 2nd half, I really won’t be comfortable at all if I try to turn the heating plan back on in our zone.
Waiting for the Winter before I use our oil furnace
It was pretty exciting when our partner Ed in addition to I confirmed that finally we had enough money to invest into an updated oil furnace. Ed and I had one heating plan in mind, in addition to that was radiant radiant floors. Ed and I already had a water boiler plan in our home, which worked fine, however Ed wanted the ultimate comfort with the tubing installed under the floors to supply the greatest comfort in addition to more energy efficiency in our home. So Ed called up the local HVAC business. Before both of us knew it, both of us had the arrangements for the replacement. The team of HVAC pros were really careful when taking up the flooring. They put some kind of stone tile on top of the sub flooring in addition to explained that the stone would retain the heating energy from the heated water. They said it usually took a little while to heat everything up, however the result would be pitch-perfect heating in the winter. They also said even if the power went out for any reason, the plan would still hold the heating energy for various minutes, so both of us would stay warm regardless. They usually work hard to get the power back on anyway, especially in the Winter time season. Even if that happens though, of course Ed and I have a fireplace in our home for backup heating. Ed and I also have a few portable furnaces that both of us can use, so we’re not too sad. Ed and I also had a up-to-date boiler plan installed to work with the radiant heated floors, in addition to it’s more efficient than ever! I truthfully can’t wait til the Winter time so Ed and I can see how nice this heating plan really is.
Bob and I had been using an old furnace
Bob and I had been using the oil furnace in our home for about a decade.
The prices have been going steadily upward with oil though making it harder to get through the winter.
Both of us have been turning the heating plan up sometimes in the Winter time to try to minimize the heating costs, however it has been tough. Bob and I don’t like it feeling frigid in the house, in addition to even with the humidifier running, it has been getting a little too chilly. It’s kind of embarrassing when people come over too unexpectedly in addition to it’s so frigid in the house, but usually if I assume someone will be coming over, I’ll adjust the control device to be more cozy at home, however then both of us get right back to energy saving mode, finally, Bob and I learned from the local HVAC business that both of us could do an oil to gas conversion. They offered to work with the local gas business to get a gas line run out to our home. I was surprised that this oil to gas conversion was not as extravagantly priced as I imagined in addition to before I knew it, both of us had our heating plan running off natural gas! I can’t even say how amazing it has been having such low heating bills all of a sudden. This last Winter season has been more comfortable than ever in addition to Bob and I can run the oil furnace to supply pleasant temperatures for a change. I also can’t wait for the future when both of us will be able to afford a better furnace. I have been thinking about investing in a dual-fuel oil furnace. I hear that those are highly efficient in addition to saving us a lot more.
