Busy Tuesday and Another Clue

 While I did not get as much sleep as I would have liked Sunday night, Rod Stewart did not let me down. Usually, I would be up until 6 am. At least I slept from 5 am to 9 am and then had a nap with Stewart. 

At some point I lay down to rest/sleep and did sleep until the time I had Tommy call me, about 30 minutes. 

I went out to finish my charitable project. A can of pumpkin came home with me but was hiding in the store. The search exhausted me! I bought a few strands of battery-operated lights. And, Tommy had the radio turned on to the all-Christmas music station when I came out to the car. 

When we arrived home, there were two Amazon packages waiting. Silly delivery man had a very heavy expensive dehydrator perched atop a small two pound package. And, the clearly marked large box with arrows indicating "up" was lying on its side. I received a new dehydrator and and only one Sterilite bin for the freezer. ???

Since I still had the other dehydrator, I made arrangements to return it. And, I ordered more bins, more than I want or need but at a cheaper price. Then, I made arrangements to return the one bin. 

When I finished talking on the phone, my hands were shaking visibly. I could barely stand or walk. I drank orange juice and ate a peanut butter sandwich since I felt I was going to pass out. When I finished, I asked Tommy if he could see my hands shaking. He said he could see my whole body shaking. I did not realize it was so bad. 

It took three hours to feel normal! This is how I felt when I was twelve, and did not know what was happening to me. Scary! 

I had chicken and vegetables to put in the oven, but could not handle it. So, we had hotdogs (no buns) and mashed potatoes and fruit. Now, Tuesday, I realize I had all the fixings for a nice salad when I had the make-do meal. 

Today, Tuesday, there is a pickup scheduled for any time between 9 am and 5 pm. I certainly hope this pickup happens sooner than later! In a few minutes we are going to get both boxes onto the porch. 

Tuesday, 2:30 pm and we are being held hostage by a pending UPS pickup! 

It's a gloomy day, so I am going to end this and prepare to put chicken and potatoes in the oven. 

Guess as many times as you like each day. Each guess needs to be in a separate comment. But, if I cannot find you to mail the prize, then I will go on to the next person. So, include an email. OR You can email me your email address with  at pparsimony@yahoo.com and "Thanksgiving Guess" as the subject.

Amazon Deliveries

 Saturday, my first ever Amazon box was delivered to me. Thursday night, I ordered two items, iron and hair clippers. Tommy said it was Friday. Either way, they came early Saturday afternoon. Then, later Saturday afternoon, he went to the laundry room on the carport and inside the carport in front of my car was the third item--dehydrator. 

The clippers are charging so I can give him a haircut Sunday. OMG, I need Clipper OIL only to oil the blades! Okay, I remembered I had a bottle of Machine Oil here. There are no instructions about how to use the clippers. Obviously, a person is supposed to know how to cut hair. Hopefully, a video exists to help me.

The iron is beautiful and so heavy--3.3 lbs. Sewing well is practically impossible without an iron. It is white and the shiniest stainless steel ever. I can actually use the sole plate for a mirror. There is no distortion of my face. Amazing. 

For a 1966 wedding shower I received two irons. One was a steam iron and the other was a dry iron. The woman who gave me the dry iron told me it was a heavier iron and that I would not have to push so hard to use it. The woman who gave me the steam iron said I would not have to use a Coke bottle with a sprinkler in it anymore.

I kept the dry iron and loved it and used it often.  I made all my clothes and most of the girls' clothes. 

When the dry iron was broken by a kid visiting in my house, I got a steam iron and hated every time I used it. Even when I used it dry, I hated the hole marks left on the fabric. A damp wash cloth, a flick of water on fabric, or a spray bottle serve my purposes. 

This iron weighs 3.3 lbs., a lot for my abilities. But, I will manage, especially since I have not ironed in years and specialize in wearing clothes that do not need ironing... lol. 

I cannot get to my Excalibur Dehydrator in the storage unit. So, I bought one I can handle. It is white, has thermostat and timer. It only has five trays, but with great effort, I can handle it. Once it is in place, there is no need to move it. My other is black and nine trays. I really hated the black hulk it was. So, eventually, I may sell it. Maybe I will this smaller, white one. I will pay Tommy for this one. 

Saturday was like Christmas around here. Actually, it was better than Christmas. 

I sat all day Saturday. I felt awful! Around 7:15 pm, I told Tommy if he wanted dinner, we needed to go buy it or he could find something in the refrigerator. He immediately said he would have the two salad mixes. I reminded him where the tomatoes were. He also got baby carrots. I told him he could put chopped chicken on his salad or heat it and put bbq sauce on it. Soon he went off to the kitchen and came back with his food. This is the first dinner he has "prepared" himself. 

He seemed satisfied with his dinner! I had none.
