Today is Columbus Day. A day when Native Americans mourn for their poor immigration policies (i.e., letting Columbus and subsequent others land in America). It's a semi-holiday. There is no mail delivery and Federal offices are closed today, but banks are open and stores are open and most people have to work. We have to work.
This is a cute little pic of the Nina, the Pinta and
the Santa Maria. Remember the old rhyme?
"In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety-Two,
Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue."
There are a lot of sales at storest today in honor of the holiday. Because, after all, what better reason is there to have a holiday than to shop and spend money? We went to the fabric store yesterday because I had a 40% off one non-sale item coupon that was only good yesterday. I purchased an amazing brocade for a court dress, some shiny black/yellow stripe fabric for a pirate pair of pants for DH, and black chiffon for Chickie's party next month. The fabric store will open at 8am this morning for a special sale (they usually don't open until 9:30am) and I have an additional coupon for 10% off everything, so I'll take one more look. I do need the insert fabric to go with the brocade that I purchased, so maybe I can find something suitable. I'll take a look. I get monthly coupons from them, so if I don't find something right now, it's not a problem.
Poor DH, in so much pain from the
muscles in his shoulders and neck.
And we finished the day with steaks on the grill SO good! I ate WAY too much, and it was WAY worth it. DH has been in incredible pain from a muscle pull of his Levator scapulae muscle. That's the muscle that runs between the scapula and the head, so any movement at all sends jolts of pain into him. He's gotten less than 5 hours of sleep over the past two days because it hurts so badly. But he's also being a stubborn idiot and refuses to take any pills for the pain.
