Townhouse style with private patio, swimming pool, playground and dog park. It's a big step up from our current place where we don't even have a slot for outgoing mail.
Any advise you'd like to give someone before they get in? Things that you didn't realize until you had already moved in.
We're mostly looking at townhouses that were built in the 70s and 80s. Probably wall-to-wall carpeting throughout when they were built but now they are mostly LVP on the first floor, carpeting on the stairs and second floor.
I'd like to get rid of carpeting on the stairs and second floor. For cost reasons I probably would leave the first floor as-is for at least a few years. However, when we get that done it's on a slab foundation so I'd be looking for a "softer" floor. Like engineered hardwood? Maybe.
I'm worried about choosing something that I won't be able to match later. Or taking advise that will save money upstairs but be uncomfortable downstairs. Any suggestions?
Sort of the What to Expect When You're Expecting of perimenopause and menopause?
There are a ton of books, but I'm looking for something similar to that style. ("Lots of people experience A. You may not. Here are some suggestions on dealing with A.") Something largely backed in science and study with a little old wives tale weaved in.
I need someone to either cheer me on or talk me down off this ledge.
I live in an older townhouse with the crappiest old metal, single pain windows that have cost me a small fortune in wasted energy. I'm thinking about DIYing some storm windows out of wood, an indoor window insulation kit and some weather stripping.
Thoughts? Concerns? Outsized opinions on the number of extraneous characters in House of the Dragon?
My husband's colonoscopy went really well! A massive polyp was removed and it's already had a positive effect. ("Do you think I should thank the doctor with a bottle of wine?")
​
I handed him a sleeve of saltine crackers in the car. When we got home and he had an applesauce cup while I made 3 scrambled eggs. After about an hour he started on the probiotic reset.
​
I would 100% recommend that. I also recommend recording a video of them while the drugs are wearing off! It's so funny and he was just the sweetest.
​
I told my husband that we could get whatever he wanted for dinner. We wound up at a local spot with some spicy nachos that he enjoyed right up until this morning. He now has some regrets.

Getting everything together and while there's plenty of advice on prep I don't find much advice on aftercare.
Any advices on what I should have on hand? Food, drink, pillows? I know it's not a long recovery, but I'd like to make it an easy one.
Using the old measuring cap I filled to the 2nd line with Diet Ginger Ale, the finished filling to the third line with Torani Galaxy.
I'm also making dupes of Sonic Ocean Water and Cherry Limade, but this little drink is the winner.
I know, it's early, but it's a holiday weekend. Anybody seen any yet?
