There's something a bit disconcerting when you pick up your bath towel to dry off after your shower and you feel it tear - just a little bit - under your fingers. *sigh* I could have added two bath towels to yesterday's Kohl's order for new sheets (which were also tearing apart - so much that I tossed the old set immediately into the garbage). But, having not realized my current bath towels were falling apart, I ended up spending 20 minutes or so trying to find reasonably priced bath towels in Chocolate Brown (I ended up with a color called Espresso, but close enough - LOL). Hopefully, within a week, I'll have new sheets for the bed and new towels for the bathroom. I don't know how old the sheets were, but the towels were purchased during the Covid shut-down because I remember ordering them on-line and they brought the package to my car and put it into the back of Minnion for me - no physical contact or shopping at all.
I took about an hour yesterday to clean up my desk too. DH and I had started the day with a meeting at his brokerage with my account advisor (his advisor is dealing with health issues right now) and an attorney, discussing setting up a family trust. We're getting older, and we're trying to work out where our funds should go after we die. It's a subject that has always made DH uncomfortable, which means he's also a bit confrontational. But, we actually got through the meeting pretty well, I liked the attorney - we connected in several places that I considered important. So we'll probably sign the contract and have him work out a reasonable plan that will include the things each of us consider important (including my taking care of "Puppies and Kitties" which is DH's general term for all of my charitable contributions).
The fact that the sheets were shredded (quite literally - a hole scraped into the bottom sheet and a strip pulling away down the side of the top sheet), made my third load of laundry almost nonexistent. I decided I could just add the pillow cases to my normal personal laundry load of Sunday, so I only had two loads yesterday, instead of three. That was awesome! LOL (These days, it's those little things that excite me.)
I finished the afternoon with a lovely conversation with Aearwen. This is a tough time of the year for her, so if you know her, send some positive thoughts over her direction (West - California to be specific). We all have those times when memories crowd in and try to take over. This is one of those times for her, so I'm sending out lots of positives to her for the next two-three weeks, and I know many of you will join me in that.
Except for that, it was a boring day. I can TOTALLY get behind a boring day - LOL. I did a bit of cooking, but saved quite a lot for Friday. I'll be VERY busy in the kitchen on Friday with pork chops and a pork roast needing to be cooked. Yum - I'm hungry already - LOL. I'm always grateful that I wasn't raised Kosher, I dearly love pork products ... ummmmmmm ... bacon! Have an excellent Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow. Be kind, be strong and be you! Slava Ukraini.
