No good deed goes unpunished

Today has been quite a day. Visted three food pantries with BC. The first was a 20-minute wait and yielded sausages, canned goods, baked goods and 2 2-liter bottles of diet cola (Best by 5/16/09). The second involved a 45-minute wait in a dark, crowded stifling hallway and yielded more baked goods. The third was already closed for the day, out of

Aside for the $25 surprise, that sounds like a great day: new bed, cold air, and free food.

We bought the boy a new mattress two weeks ago and I was surprised at how lightweight it was compared to the 15-year-old one it was replacing. His is hemmed in by a dresser and a nightstand to hold it in place, but you might try a cheap fix of that woven rubber stuff that comes in rolls. The dollar stores usually have it very cheap, and a roll or two laid out under the mattress might stop it from skittering away.

That's an excellent idea, thanks. I was contemplating something like a bath towel with terry on both sides, but I think your idea is likelier to work. And there's a dollar store in the plaza where I work....

Free food, AC, new mattress AND freshly mowed yard! Your Monday was much better than mine, I assure you. Am holding out for a better Tuesday.
Oh, you inspired me to hit the library and get a new card. I checked out 2 movies and 4 books. One book is finished and am watching one of the movies as I type. One of my offspring had left a $7 balance on my old card but I took care of it. Nice, shiny new library card.

I'm currently laundering bedding, since I'd rather not put the same grotty old sheets back on the shiny new mattress. (Once that's done, I suspect I'll be early to bed---such a NICE bed!)

Yes, a library cards is a wonderful thing---especially being able to reserve book at 2AM!
