New This, New That

Over the last week I have gotten a new router, new modem, new mailbox, and finally my new dishwasher.  I ordered it before Thanksgiving.  It's been nearly half a year that I have been without one.

Out with the old! (which I think was 5 years old)

Don't get Samsung appliances by the way.  Good for phones but not appliances.


In with the new! It matches the refrigerator in color (which is also unfortunately a Samsung) but everything I have are different brands and 3 colors. 🙃

New Year Resolutions Anyone??

 OK, I'll start.

I really didn't plan on making any resolutions. Actually, I don't really think I have any, but I decided to walk in the halls for 15 minutes 2 times a day at work briskly.  A few days later I loaded a step counter on my phone just to see how I was actually doing.  Turns out, I was getting approximately 2.75 miles in a day doing that.  1 mile per walk and 3/4 a mile doing other stuff. The app has achievements to reach and one of them is 500 miles so I made that my goal for the year.  To get to 500 by 2022.  So far I have about 17. 😀 OK, not a huge deal to most but miles I wouldn't have gotten at all if I didn't decide to do this.


I'm not counting weekends and the summer will be more challenging because I either have to talk Canyon into going with me (HA!) or leave him at the house.

My other thing is to lessen my carbon footprint by using the silicon zip bags I got for Christmas as much as possible and not use ziplock bags (which I use in my lunch 5 days a week and when I separate meat to freeze and for leftovers).  Again, not a huge thing but at least it's something and will save 5-8 bags a week which is 260-416 bags a year.  Who knew!

Birthday Gift to Myself

My other rug was barely over 2 years old, but it would not lay flat on the edges and it had been bothering me for awhile.  It was a Ruggable, the kind you can peal the top layer off and put in the washer.  After the 1st wash, it didn't seem to lay quite how it was supposed to and after 4 or 5 washes it would curl up a little on the edges. So, I got a different one and hopefully can sell the old one. I do like them colorful!

Old one when I 1st got it so it is laying just right in this photo.
