Think she'll like this blanket for her baby girl? |
• went to the laundromat where I washed, dried the blanket I made making it ready for gifting
• picked up a jacket from the store tailor (refused to re-anchor a button on a brand-new-only-worn-once-jacket of The Husband's)
• spent too much at Costco
• vacuumed
• steamed the tile
• researched a couple recipes for a friend
• cleaned some bathroom sit-down-porcelain
• prepared The Husband's lunch
• folded some laundry
While I realize this is a very short list compared to what lots of other women accomplish in much less time, for some reason, today I feel like I've worked. Now, I might manage to get in a little reading/stitching before time to fix dinner. Unless I sit down in a chair a take an unintended nap.
A couple things I noticed:
• An employee at the laundromat was cleaning l-o-t-s of our U.S. flags. At one point she had 13 mondo dryers running - all filled with multiple fairly large flags. Don't know that I've ever seen that before, I guess it never occurred to me to wonder how flags get cleaned, if they even do.
• Rounding a corner at Costco nearly trampled (accidentally) a boy, about 10 or so, sitting cross-legged on the floor, chin propped in hands totally immersed in a book from the book tables. Cute, cute sight. Love, love to see young'uns reading.
• Got some fabulous pictures of the supermoon setting and the sun rising. It was a lovely morning for a walk.
• I shall never consider fresh strawberries forbidden fruit.
• I wasn't fond of the vampire fad. Not big on the robots. Saw the Brad Pitt zombie movie over the weekend. I'm less fond of zombies. Can't help but wonder what's next?
• Played peek-a-boo with a purple finch who was apparently scavenging breakfast in one of our house gutters.
Today's gratitude: for hugs, particularly ones from The Husband. (He rarely has his hug block going.)
