At Home Day
Got my clothes in the dryer. I think that I'm going to stay in today and get stuff done around here.
Exchanged text messages with the executor of my aunt's estate (my aunt's nephew). Apparently, the estate sale didn't go very well. It barely covered costs and there was a lot left over. A friend of my aunt is boxing stuff up to go to the Salvation Army. The house needs to be cleaned before it goes up for sale on the general market.
I received the weighted blanket. I'm not going to unpack it now, but will put it with stuff for the bedroom. Now I'm wondering if I should get a body pillow. I'm now thinking that I'll get the innerspring Marriott mattress with the Marriott mattress topper and Marriott eco pillows. And I'm looking at down alternative comforters and high-thread-count sheets. I want my bedroom to be an oasis of peace. I'm going to need cheap pillows for the pillow shams, but I'll probably wait to get them after the move. Hmm. Pottery Barn has a flax linen comforter that sounds heavenly, but if you get the sheets and pillows too, you could spend over $500 on bedding.
I've started tackling the TV room because that's where the TV will go tomorrow. I think that I'll pack stuff up as long as I'm in there. I need to get rid of the old vacuum cleaner. And I dumped some old books, which would appall my mom, but no one would want them. My back is killing me, but I'm making progress. Mimi is getting in the way though.
Wrangled my aunt's TV into my bedroom. Now I just need to get the Roku set up, and I'll have television. It'll be even better when I can set it up at the foot of the bed in the new place.
I was looking at TravelZoo, and they have a great trip to the Greek Islands in October of next year. Do I want to go there instead of to Italy? They also had a trip to Portugal, but I'll probably wait on that.
There was a cat fight outside, and it riled the girls up. Mimi was in the bedroom window looking out when Zara jumped up to see what was going on. Mimi turned around and went after Zara. I broke it up.
Talked to Mom. She got her food ordered and delivered, although they were out of a lot of stuff. She thinks that the new TV will be great. (She said that she might not leave!)
Got things together in the TV room. Now I think that it's night tasks and bedtime. Oh, and I need to eat too.
