Haul!

My guy and I braved the market today to do our bi-monthly shopping, and guess what I found on the shelves?

In case you can't read the labels, from the left: hand sanitizer, a 12-pack of toilet paper, spray disinfectant, and a hand soap refill atop the TP.

I've only been able to purchase TP twice since the pandemic hit the US. This was the first time I've seen ANY hand sanitizer since March. The spray cleaner is kid and dog friendly (my usual Lysol cleaner is still out of stock), and the hand soap refill is the brand Katherine likes.

I feel ridiculously pleased with myself, as if I discovered actual treasure at the market. What will we find next? Diapers? Baby wipes? Dare I hope now? Ha.

That's a great haul! I'm wondering what I'll find Friday. I have toilet paper coming out my ears. I'd ordered it and when I got a notice that it was out of stock. ordered a different kind. Got another notice and so on and so on and then they all just came at once. The hand sanitizer and stuff, not so much but I still have some. I'd like to get more though if they have it Friday.

And you got the good stuff too! Isn't it funny what makes us grateful? LOL! I was the same way a couple of weeks ago when I found hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes. Still no alcohol though. My stores stock it but it's gone before I can get there.

Holiday Prep

For Thanksgiving this year we've invited some guests from Oliver's mom's side of the family, so I have to start prepping now to get the house in shape for the big day. The first major thing is having the carpets cleaned, which we've scheduled for next week. This weekend I'll be cleaning out four rooms to get them ready for that. I started with my front dining room, which I use as my sewing room. It was kind of a mess already, so it felt good to get everything cleared out. We'll be having ten people at dinner plus two babies, so this will give me a chance to figure out how to arrange two tables in this space. I think this will be my last time hosting a big Thanksgiving gathering. Mike has started his family with a lovely girl who has a huge, close-knit family of her own, while Katherine will likely be off at grad school out of state for the next several years. I'm also not getting any younger. My guy and I will always celebrate Thanksgiving, but ...

T-minus Day

This was our little Thanksgiving dinner last year, when it was just the three of us. Time keeps whittling down my favorite holiday; this year it will be just me and my guy, and we likely won't even have a turkey.* That will be a first in 35 years. I feel about Thanksgiving the way other people do about Christmas, and while it's a lot of work it's my favorite holiday. Of all the Thanksgivings I've had in the past sixty years, only three were truly terrible: one when I was a kid that I don't talk about (#1 most miserable); the time I roasted two turkeys together and hosted fifteen people whom I cooked for and served with zero help (the largest and #2 most miserable); and the one I spent in basic training (the #3 most miserable.) I have no pictures of any of those, thank heavens. In addition to doing all the cooking I'm the one who takes all the pictures, washes all the dishes and puts away all the leftovers. I suppose no one else cares because to them it...

Fell Off the Wagon

I did cut up that plastic dollar tote to make into something stronger, but got caught up with work and set it aside. Then last night some hand-dyed silk and pretty threads called my name, and, well . . . Felt SO good to do some handwork, except my neck began hurting about an hour into it. I tried changing the way I sit and work, but it's pretty obvious that the doc is right.
