Frozen compost

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 2 Feb

We had a snowstorm January 25th and because of that garbage and compost collection was delayed. I took out a bag of compost in a compost bin outside for collection almost a week ago but sanitation never picked it up. Now...

Estimate reading

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 30 Jan

Gas bill just came for this house. It was $299. Last bill was $229. I looked at the meter reading and it says estimate. I usually never get estimate readings for this house. I guess the estimate is due to the snow storm we had...

This is what I came home to late Sunday evening after my Broadway show. Everything in high amount of snow. Couldn’t see where the first step of the porch was or where the sidewalk was for that matter. I had no idea how I was...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 27 Jan

I’m trying to see what my options are for the unused Broadway show ticket from Sunday’s Chess Musical. My mom never made it to the theater due to snowy conditions and transportation issues. I do not want to lose that money. Wanna...

Movies on a snowy day

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 18 Jan

Yesterday, I decided to go to the movies with my mom to see the new Avatar movie. It was snowing so I was hoping to catch the bus instead of having to walk to the movie theater the whole way. When I almost got to the bus stop,...

Found a quarter

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 17 Jan

I was going to the bank earlier this week and on my way there I found a quarter lying on the ground. Decided to pick it up even though there were some people around. If I wouldn’t have done so someone else would have taken it,...

When Friday came around, I started thinking about what to do Sunday. I wanted to go somewhere and do something fun to cheer myself up. Then I found out from my mom that Sunday would not be a fun day for me. Instead of having...

Reading goal update

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 4 Jan

My reading goal for last year was 77 books. I ended it with only 48. On Goodreads it will say 47 because the last book I read wasn’t found on the website so I couldn’t add it to my books read. I’m bummed that I didn’t reach my...

This is weird

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 30 Dec

I bought two big chicken and mushroom patties from a Russian grocery store. I love to have them with mashed potatoes and a salad on the side. The printed label on the container says the weight is 0.69 lb., priced at $7.99/lb.,...

Went to Atlantic City for a few days with my mom and my uncle and his wife. We stayed at Borgata hotel and casino. Nothing for me to do there but sleep, eat, and play the slots. Still, I had fun. And I actually left the casino...

Almost got run over by a car

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 23 Dec

I was walking home from the train yesterday. Part of the walk involves going past a shopping plaza. Plenty of times the cars that pull out of the plaza tend to do so at faster speeds and don’t pay attention to potential...

Overcharged again

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (48983) • Staten Island, New York 13 Dec

I got some stuff at the supermarket today. One of the things was yellow squash. It was on sale for 88¢/pound. That’s a great price. Unfortunately, that’s not what I ended up paying for it. I just got home and looked at the...

I had another 12-ounce bag of fresh cranberries in the fridge so decided to make cranberry sauce again before they go bad. As usual I used Ina Garten’s make-ahead cranberry sauce recipe. It always comes out really good. The...

I decided to start binge watching Beverly Hills 90210. Luckily the show is available on Pluto TV. I don’t even need to sign up to watch the show, which is great. I’m close to halfway done with season two. Unfortunately, not all...
