Due to pandemic I am of course doing a lot of online shopping this holiday season.
(No for realz I generally do a lot of that every Christmas anyway.)
And mostly it goes pretty smoothly.

Waiting
I could only get a Sunday delivery for my groceries. Waaah waaah waaah, first world problems.
My groceries are not coming until 8-10 pm. Continue reading “Waiting”
Pooling resources
One of the things that’s great about living where I do now, is that I’m so close to my sister’s family (the leading draw for moving here) and my parents (who’d been making sounds but finally moved once both of us were down here). Continue reading “Pooling resources”
Long overdue shopping win
Part two of my tale of recent technology failures will stay on hold for a few more days while I tell you that at the same time I was buying my fabulous new toaster oven, I was also picking out a new bedding set.
I’ve been in the market for a new bedspread, and associated accessories, for at least a couple of years. Probably longer, but that’s about the window of time at which the fact that 10+ years was starting to take its toll on the bedspread stitching became apparent.
The problem of course is that I love my old bedspread set. I mean, I love it. Plus I had all the with-its.

A tale of two fails – part one
Just before I left for Ireland, I accidentally and providentially discovered that my toaster oven was well on its way to becoming a fire hazard. So when I returned, in the middle of a heat wave, getting a new toaster oven (with which to heat foods without super-heating or burning down the apartment) was a priority. Continue reading “A tale of two fails – part one”
The task I was dreading
I was all set to head two towns over to go to the nearest Sears to look at mattresses. (There are two Sleepy’s locations near me, but the company’s service reputation is so besmirched that I’m not risking it.) On my way I glanced over to see that the store that used to be our local Harmon’s is now Continue reading “The task I was dreading”
The weekend is for errands.
(And sleeping in.)
There’s a whole list of things to accomplish this weekend. It includes: Continue reading “The weekend is for errands.”
So much for that
My camera – or I should say, “my good camera” – is a Canon Powershot (the one shown is almost (but not quite) the same model). And I know it’s not the fanciest camera in the world, but I love it. Continue reading “So much for that”
Um. Thanks. I think.
I’m a Borders Rewards member. The Borders store nearest home is closing, but so far the store where I usually shop (nearer to work) is not yet on the chopping block.
But if history is any indication, it’s only a matter of time. I’m generally a realist, (okay, yes, I’m often a pessimist calling herself a realist) but I can’t help but hope that won’t happen. I’ve spent a lot of nice afternoons there, sipping coffee, reading, and then hauling out a back-breaking pile of books. Continue reading “Um. Thanks. I think.”
