We had to do a bit of shopping today. With both of us having trouble sleeping, the spare bed has been getting a lot of use, and it's become obvious that it needed to be replaced. We stumbled on a sale, where we got a good mattress, the box spring, good sheets, delivery, and take away of the old bed, as well as a mattress cover, for less than we had anticipated paying for the mattress alone. It still hurt ($$$), but we figure there's no way we could have done better, by waiting. We also thought we should get a really cheap set of sheets, just in case, so went to Sears. Bad idea. We got the sheets, but we also got underwear, for him, and four long sleeved, pull-over sweaters for me. Everything in the store appeared to be on sale, so I guess they are doing whatever they can to liquidate inventory. The four, very nice, well fitting, sweaters cost under $50.00, including tax. If they wash well, they should do for wearing outside the house. My Tee-shirts are starting to show their age, and just aren't warm enough for fall and winter.
After the stress of all this shopping, I bought my daily coffee, and brought it home. The patio furniture had been put away over a week ago, not anticipating that we would still be having such nice weather. Wanting to sit outside, we had to improvise. David managed to get a.plastic chair out, but there was no way we could get at the table.
And while I read, David took the time to vacuum some leaves. He's been doing a little bit almost every day, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Later, for supper he had one of the turkey pot pies I made, in which I totally screwed up the pastry. It certainly looked good, and he reports that it was just fine. Whe-e-e-w!
