Elsa is on her way ! Oddly, Diz billed me yesterday, but she
didn’t ship ‘til late today. They’re normally very strict on the ‘no billing
‘til after shipping’ thing, but not so this time. I have no idea when she’ll
get here – the tracking info is basically ‘we got that they’re gonna ship’ and
not much else – but she’s already left California, so maybe Tuesday or so.
While I’m jealous of everyone who’s had her for months, I’m probably just as
excited as you were then !
I promised to take Dearest Son to Dollar Tree today – it seemed so
unfair that I was getting to go everywhere, even if it was medical and
paperwork, and he was stuck at home, except for Tuesday’s tires. Not a lot of
fun, even if it was McD’s breakfast and the Mal-Wart Lego and computer
sections. However, all this rain made it hard on my lungs, so it was slow
going. He even offered to put things off if I wasn’t well. Ya’ll know me, that
just made me so much more determined to get him to some fun. They finally had
his favorite popcorn in, and I got a few groceries and the last of the frozen
clams. Beloved Hubby has really enjoyed those. I got some leftover Halloween
candy (no candy corn, darn it) and a bag of PopCorners, so I was happy, too.
Had to hit Mal-Wart (the grocery one, not the big Mega-one with the auto
service center) for a few extra things, so he got to pick out a 2-liter of his
choice. He was all set for a junk-food afternoon !
He found a James Bond 007 Hot Wheels toy car and examined it
thoroughly. I told him he could have it, but he said he wanted to save his
money for his computer upgrade. Of course, I got it for him – who’s gonna say
no when it’s only 84¢ ? He was so happy, he showed it off to the cashier and
the guy behind us in line, saying it’d been a long time since he’d picked out a
new Hot Wheels ! I now wonder if they thought we were seriously that broke…
Not that it matters. He was happy, and I was glad to see him so.
Once we got home and shoved the frozen foods away, I more or less crashed for
two hours. Then it was up and at ‘em for more laundry ! It had really backed up
on us, but after today, there’s two more Laundromat triple-loaders (to me, it’d
be two regular loads), and that even catches us up on sheets. I’ll do another
tomorrow, then wait ‘til Monday to finish up. I’d rather leave the washers and
dryers to the folks who need ‘em on weekends – plus by then, we’ll probably
have another triple ready to go !
