Soaked Sheets and a Lap Counter - Yesterday Was Quite the Day

DH was feeling a bit better yesterday, but he's still not anywhere close to 100%. He decided to go back to bed and get more sleep yesterday around noon, then texted me that his sheets were all wet, and then texted again that the mattress pad was soaked too. Apparently he had sweated the sickness away overnight, but like a stupid little boy, hadn't told me. I could easily have stripped the bed, put a new set of sheets on, and put everything into the washer before leaving for the shop yesterday morning. But no. Instead, he used a hair dryer to partial effect. The sheets were apparently still slightly damp when he went to bed last night. MEN! Oy vey! 

There are some times when only "Oy vey!" is the only 
proper response. DH's not telling me he had soaked 
through his bedding and drying it with a hair dryer 
because he didn't want to go through the work of 
putting the bedding into the dryer comes under 
that heading. "Oy Vey!" indeed! 

I'll be pulling the bed apart today and washing those sheets. He can feel miserable at work - he's not as sick as yesterday or the day before, so he'll do fine. I'll have everything back together for him before he returns home tonight. 

My new lap counter and timer fits around my first 
finger and is operated by that lower button. It's 
pretty simple, although I'll be reading through 
the directions for several times before I've got 
it nailed. It's like a pedometer for the pool, but 
it also works above water for triathletes.  

I have a new toy - another gadget. This time something lovely and small and that I've wanted for years, but couldn't find. Maybe it just wasn't made before, or maybe I only searched on terms that didn't bring up the proper solution. It's the SC Sportcount LapCounter and Timer. It fits around my first finger and counts my laps for me. When I turn it off, it holds my total, speed and analysis easily for more than an hour, allowing me to get back home before I take a careful look. My problem has always been my vision - I can't see well enough with goggles to read the digital displays of my watch or other items. With this, I don't have to try to focus, it'll hold the data for me until I return home. 

I've been using my new paper cutter and it's wonderful. 
I got the extra blades and cutting pads in yesterday's 
delivery and just in time. I'll need to use one of 
those fancy blades for the next stage. I need to 
think about what needs to be done in what order 
first, so I've got some decisions to make today. I'll 
be contemplating my cards on and off throughout 
the day. This next stage will be crucial. 

I have a busy day ahead of me. I finally got the correct size of slipcover for my couch, so I'll be moving furniture and getting that onto the couch. I'll be swimming, of course, because it's Friday, I'll be stripping, washing, and remaking DH's bed, and I'm quite sure there are other errands on my list, I'm just not remembering them at 4:00 am. I think it'll be a good day, though. I hope your day is stellar and I'll be back tomorrow.
