Today was the long-waited swamp cooler switch day. I needed to wait for 2.5 weeks since I submitted the work order to the property manager. The maintenance person was a young polite man and swiftly finished the work without any issue. Now we are ready to have the extremely hot summer.

We purchased lots of garden items such as a water sprinkler, a timer to water them, and water hose adapter. We also attached a shade to each garden. Our Arizona sun is too strong for the baby plants. I shared the Navajo and Japanese mantra to the garden plants.

I took my daughter to the state test venue at 8:30 a.m. The test started at 9 a.m. and finally ended at 2:50 p.m. I had more than 5 hours to all to myself at the house.

I’ve been watching a house for sale, which is located in front of a lake. The house price is super expensive. The house has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a wide range of front and backyard. I really wish that I can purchase this house and move there.

He was taking a walk of the dog that used to belong to our common friend who recently passed away. The late friend was very nice and patient to her dog.Continue reading “Adjusting is tough 4/3/2025”

I was informed my favorite librarian is going to resign the job position. She has been very nice to me and my family all the time. Since she loves teaching kids, she volunteers teaching a science class, an electric class, and a coding class to younger kids at the library.
