We’ve been at the rental house a little over a month now. Sorry that I’m not an awesome updater of the blog. It’s been a busier time getting settled, figuring out a schedule that works, remodeling, and all the storms. I’ll preface the remodeling section with don’t watch a bunch of HGTV, it makes you…

We got all the mishaps from the farm sitting incidents taken care of: Chester, Savy, and the house all smell fine now. The rugs I think will even be salvageable. Lana takes the rugs to the car wash on occasion anyways so that’s her plan for them and then bringing them back inside. Snowy, the…

Our Airbnb hosts had to tend to an emergency so we offered to help with the farm while they were out of town. Since they’ve been gone Chester has been sprayed by a skunk twice. The first time he clearly didn’t take a direct hit, the second time, he did. A dish soap bath cleared…

We looked for short term rentals and were struggling to find that so we decided to try an Airbnb. We’ve been there for a week now and it’s going well. Their house is in great outdoor air, but would likely not be a mold avoiders first choice bc they’d get caught up in the indoor…

We’ve exceeded our benchmark to move out of hotels. We kept our room for 5 weeks and left bc of a combination of factors, not because the room went bad. The town we were staying is goes above tolerance when there are storms and we ended up going to the city yesterday to check out…

I’ve been struggling with chronic illness for most of my life, and have known mold to be the cause for the part few years. I knew it was part of my story before, but not the root issue. I thought it was the autoimmunity and the chronic Lyme, and by addressing those parts of the…

Shortly after my last update, we decided to leave our hotel in MS bc they couldn’t properly maintain their hot tub. It never had a chemical smell to it at all though I was told they refilled the water daily and they put in a chlorine tablet. After we both got slammed by toxins one…

I have no great reason to have not updated you guys sooner, but here I am sitting in the hot tub writing an update. We have moved around FL trying to find something to work, but didn’t succeed. I really wanted to be able to go back to the hotel we like to stay at…

We drove for 3 days and arrived back in FL Sunday night. The rain pattern has changed so FL is a go! Yay! We’re back at our home hotel again and enjoying being with our hotel family again. Today we went up to the fifth floor and sang happy birthday to Mona. We have such…

We stayed in TX for 2 weeks and 2 days. I decided it just wasn’t working after I started reacting to all the bedding and towels. The hot tub and pool were salt water and I reacted to them to some degree from day 1. The hotel was very understaffed, so the weekends were absolutely…
