this morning I got a message from my son-in-law advising that TVs were on sale for Black Friday…

he had spotted a few that were a great price as he knew I was wanting a smart TV that would connect with my Google Home…

and my TV has been misbehaving for a few weeks now…

I went to the place he recommended on my way home just after noon… the streets around the mall were crazy… got into the parking lot of the store but there wasn’t a single spot to park… waited a bit but still no spots… drove out of the lot and went home…

later my son-in-law texted to say he and the younger boys would come over and we could try again, lol…

there were spots in the lot and lots of TVs in the store… took a while, but eventually we got our smart TV… on the way home we picked up Chinese food for our supper…

then there was the process to get it on the wall and hooked up…

so… now I have two remotes that both need to be used to watch programs… but, I can tell the TV to turn itself off;-)…

and, although the TV is smart it doesn’t want to play with Google Home…

maybe tomorrow it will want to play nice…

on Saturday the bedroom got a lovely coat of very light pink paint… really, white paint with a touch of purple in it… it looks beautiful and I am very happy with it…

on Sunday my daughter and I went out and I bought a new mattress… did go over the budget which I had set for myself, but after seeing what they cost had to raise it a bit to get good quality… saved nearly half the original cost by buying on Black Friday weekend…

today the mattress arrived and my son-in-law was able to be here to accept the delivery…

the old mattress was 10 inches high… this one is 14 inches and I am getting used to reaching down to answer the phone and put things on the bedside table, lol… clearly we are going to have to make a new headboard sooner, rather than later, because there is very little of it visible, lol…

and then I had to stop on my way home to get new sheets because none of mine were going to fit…

have just climbed between the sheets and am looking forward to a good night’s sleep…

first thing this morning the sky was amazing…

it stopped me in my tracks and I spent a few minutes enjoying the moment…

before I left the house I added in the first of the chemicals to the hot tub as the temperature had finally reached the nineties…

on my way home I stopped in at Pet Traders to get an opinion on the pump in the fish tank… we’ve had the tank for at least twenty years… got some great assistance and came out of the store with a replacement pump, filters and a large container of fish food… and they were having a Black Friday sale so I saved 30% on everything…

when I got in I added the next chemical and had supper… after a nap I read the manual but felt a bit intimidated… think I’m going to wait for my son-in-law to help me put it in properly, lol…

now I’m heading out for a hot tub… haven’t had one in a couple of weeks… woo hoo…
