First, I bought new flannel sheets--Laura Ashley Lisalee.
I have no idea why this post it the way it is. I cannot seem to get the justification correct. Anyway, I knew last December that I did not need to buy more Christmas cards, no matter how cheap! But, today, I bought two boxes! But, one was very pretty and the other was all African animals in Christmas scarves. So, how could I resist? but, but, but... They are National Geographic and marked down!
The 12 cards were $2 and 18 (17 cents each) were $3 (17 cents each). They are both very colorful, glossy and sort of glitter-y. The glitter I can do without.
The sheets were on sale for less than half price. Then, I found a coupon. Then, I decided to use a gift card, the one that I got for all the confusion a few months ago. Well, that gift card and another will not work. Or, maybe the site does not work. The sheets ended up costing about $50. I hope they are as pretty as the picture above.
The cards were in a grocery store that always has table, carts, clothes racks of merchandise deeply reduced. It is a strange store, but I have gotten good deals from these clearance tables.
We are not doing very well at getting home before dark. I can tell the impending darkness bothers Tommy since he drives too close to the center line. I see cars dodging to avoid us as they approach. He says it is me, no.
Last night, I slept my usual four hours, stayed up in here and waited for Tommy to wake. We decided to watch Sgt. York instead of the news. Well, at 11:15, I was so sleepy and went to bed and slept until 3:30. This is just wrong!
Lynda just called. Her dog has not eaten for three days. She took it to the vet. The doctor said it could be some sort of stress since nothing else seemed wrong. Nothing is happening at her house. So, I suggested it could be DST ending. Then, she said the dog kept going to the bedroom to sleep and she would not. Finally, she turned on the tv in the bedroom so she could watch tv and the dog could go to bed. Lynda said the dog kept making faces, so she turned the tv off. Before she could get back in bed, the dog had scooted up beside her and was asleep before she could lie down. I suggested DST ending had bothered her dog. She thinks I might be right. So, dogs are affected by all the time changes. Do you have an animal who is upset by the time change?
Today, my Thanksgiving prep is chopping onions and celery. I think I have celery.
We are watching the last episode of M*A*S*H. There is some sort of special on after this. Good deal. TV is a trial to me right now. At midnight we always watched Frasier. Now, it is all Hallmark. We hate those. Tommy says there are only the murder shows. I would rather watch Hallmark. He would not. Really, I probably don't, either! Reading is best.
Today is my brother's birthday. Gary was born on 11-11 and died on 12-12 at age 44, my little brother.
Tommy is doing well eating off the new plates. At first, he sort of had a silent protest by eating off old plates, not that I care. I just noticed. He used a butterfly plate for dinner. Today, I used one plate all day. The first time I made a sandwich and nothing was drippy or smeary. There were only crumbs. The next time, I ate a few of Tommy's Fritos. Then, I had chicken and rice and the rest of dinner. I will wash it now...lol. I am still afraid to get paper plates for things like sandwiches and snacks, fearing he will just use them all the time. At Thanksgiving I will start using my Holiday plates along with these, I suppose.
Don't you love new flannel sheets? They always get less cuddly as time goes on, imo.
MASH is just about my favorite show ever. I told my daughter when she was still a child that when I was old I needed MASH, diet coke, and a rocking chair! Were you, are you a MASH fan?
Do you think a dog can be stressed by the time change? Lynda was not stressed, so there is no chance the dog picked on her emotions.
