Whew. Busy day, if a bit on the mundane side. I’m happy ‘cause I
got to visit Big Lots for the first time since before I ended up in the hospital
this summer, and found three more thrift stores while I was out at the new Aldi’s
for the first time in ThisCity – I can’t begin to describe to you how much I love
living here again ! I even came in $4.05 under budget, with some treats, which
is darn near a miracle. I almost invariably over-spend on groceries even when I’m
strict with the purchasing.
And it’s Flea Market weekend
out at the County Fairgrounds ! There’s also a Craft Fair in another building
Saturday only. Hmm. Do Dearest Son and I go Friday, to avoid traffic and
crowds, or go Saturday and hit up both ? Dearest is all for going both days, in
case there’s sellers one day but not the other, and maybe visiting one or two
of those thrift stores. Maybe it’ll seem less silly if I look at it as an
opportunity for some walking exercise…
Other than that, I did a load of laundry – I love having my own
washer and dryer again, so much ! – and a load of dishes. I also love the
dishwasher. I hadn’t planned on doing laundry today, but while I was cleaning
out the downstairs bathroom cabinet, I found a really nice hairbrush. Nicer
than the Dollar Tree ones we’re using. So I pulled out the wad of dyed pink
hair trapped in it, and tossed it and our DTree one into the washer with all
the dirty clothes I found around. One weekend is all it takes, and I have a
full load scattered everywhere. I even washed Beloved Hubby’s slippers. Both
brushes came out nice and clean after a good hot wash, and after an afternoon
to air dry, are just like new.
Potato soup with ham for dinner. Yum !
