Which as you know, means,"general farting around"--and that's what is happening here.  More "culling" of things that were vitally important to us a few years ago, and are meaningless now.  Such as an entire drawer of disposable baby diapers.  ( Adult ones we might have held onto)  Last week we received some coupons for the Marble Slab Creamery, so last evening, after supper, we went out for ice cream.  A huge helping of plain ice cream, into which they mixed what ever you asked for.  The coupon was "buy one, get one". Thank Goodness, as it was $5.50 + tax for one cone.  Nice ice cream, though.

It was "free" weekend here, so David put out a bunch of cinder blocks that have been hanging around the yard for years.  They disappeared very early Saturday morning, and then 20 minutes later a guy showed up with a truck.  His wife had seen them but couldn't get them in the car.  David spent yesterday working in the yard, and put out bags of grass clippings etc for the garbage pick-up this morning, but all of the rusty fire grates etc that we had inherited from the previous owners had disppeared over night.  And we had been worried that the garbage men wouldn't take them!  (Now, I have to be careful of my wording, because there is a woman working on one of the trucks, but I think she is working on re-cycling.)

Today we ran errands. First into OT to have the finger checked.  We have been very careful about it over the past two weeks, and --wonder of wonders--the range of motion was better today, so we are now in the process of weaning it off the splint.  Every hour I have to take it off and flex my fingers 10 times, then put it back on, and tape it up.  We're sure going to use a lot of tape in the next few days!  But the other option was surgery, so there is nothing lost if we try this and it doesn't work.

With the warmer weather, I found that I really only have three lighter-weight T-shirts.  So, since I had a coupon for Pennington's, we went to buy T-shirts. Cost more than I had anticipated, but I should be set for summer now.
