Slow Monday

 Today, we resolved the problem causing me such trauma. I will have to relate that tomorrow. But, money was returned to Tommy's credit card and we have washed our hands of the business. I think!

We found someone to get the tablet ready to use. But, then we did not have the tablet, nor could we find it. Finally, I found it, but that will be done Wednesday and at no cost to us, thankfully. 

Verizon helped us with some phone issues. 

My cell phone costs are being cut in half by changing companies. 

Really, nothing much has happened today. I did not get to sleep until 8 am and awoke at 11:30 and have not taken a nap. That makes me dizzy.

At 7 pm, Lynda called, and we went down to see her witch. She found a witch hat, so I\it no longer looked like a nun. She had bought lights at Dollar Tree and was very disappointed that three sets did not work. So, her Halloween display is not ready yet. 

I need to start wearing my spider ring! It is almost Halloween. Instead of buying any jewelry for holidays before the holiday, I wait until after when there is a sale. Then I might wait for the prices to drop again. "Clearance" is my favorite way of buying.

Since Antiques Roadshow is on, I am late eating dinner, leftover, frozen taco soup. 

We are expecting stormy weather on Tuesday, so we will absolutely stay in during the afternoon. There is one thing to do in the morning, but that will still allow us to be back by noon or so. 

The kitchen counter is getting clearer. At one point, I had a wedge that was less than one foot at the front of the counter, extending to about two inches at the back of the counter along the edge of the sink to work! Now, the triangle along the edge of the sink it about 18 inches at the front of the counter to about one foot at the back of the counter. It is hard to work with no room! 

How is your decluttering coming along? 

The weather overall is quite nice. We have to use the ac in house and car. Occasionally, we need the heat on in house and car to chase the damp or chill away. Is your ac off for good?

Busy Saturday + Edit of More Things

This morning, we went to Cullman for a few reasons, and in the process, 

I received a free chicken, dressed of course. 

Met with an artist friend. He has the paint by number and will stretch it. I have no idea how, but he mentioned a hammer, a saw, and staples. Tommy will be able to paint the Christmas picture with cardinals in the snow. 

We stopped and got the mail. I got Tommy a sheet of forever stamps. They did not have any I like, so I will get mine next month. I got "Pony Cars" for him. Next month I will get mine--flower stamps and Christmas stamps. 

We hurried back down to meet with the Tupperware lady from Mississippi. She is set up in a parking lot in front of a store. I had gotten something totally wrong when we first saw her. She took it back and let me get cannisters. Then, she cut the price on a pie container. I had one but it is gone. So, I can bake a pie or cupcakes and keep them all fresh and pest free. 

Then, I saw an estate sale with everything 1/2 price today. I managed to get in the house and sat down every chance I had in the house. There were lots of pretty things, but I decided I did not really want them. Outside, there was a patio table for $35 that they offered me for $15. It folds flat, so it went into the car. It is set up and I love it! 

On the way home, I saw a tent in a parking lot and got a Lifeline tablet for $20/ I hope these are not hot and are legit. 

Last night, I went to bed at midnight and awoke at 4 am. I am beat so I am going to bed right now at 4:30 in the afternoon. 

I don't know how to set up the tablet, but I may not know how to get to the bed. I am that tired. But, it is a pretty day. 

Tommy suggested I call Geek Squad. If I do that, I have lots of things for them to help me do and learn. Have you ever used GS? 

Let's see--hen, stretching canvas, Tupperware cannisters and pie taker, table for yard and tablet, plus 32 lbs of sweet potatoes, 5 red tomatoes, 1 green tomato.

We did everything we set out to do and more. Things went off smoothly.

Did things go smoothly this Saturday? What did you do?

I may sleep all evening, so this post goes out now.

Edit: add another 32 lbs. of sweet potatoes, 5 tomatoes, and 1 green tomato to the day's haul. I forgot.

Tommy died

I am distraught! He died at 12:15 am on 3-14.
