had a conversation the other day about often putting my foot outside of the blankets to sleep…

I’d seen something on social media saying it can help a person go to sleep…

one person agreed they did it all the time, but another said they’d never heard of that, or done it…

so, I went online and found the following:

early this morning I tried to get a photo of my foot outside the sheet and blankets…

it was entertaining to get the photo in the dark, lol…

Wednesday was a plant pickup from a friend’s church fundraiser…

there was alyssum, lobelia, petunias, and silver falls…

transplanted some in two planters that afternoon, hoping that they wouldn’t have a problem with the 4°C temperature that was expected that night…

in the end I covered all the newbie plants with sheets…

they all made it through the night;-)…

I even matched, lol…

the sheets were beautifully soft and comfortable…

yay… wonderful presents…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, dryer, family, friends, leggings, lunch, noticed, purple, sheets, shirt, Spring, widow

had a bit of a giggle on Monday night…

while I was having a visit with my BS buddies, one of them noticed that I had a dryer sheet attached to the back of my shirt… when she took it off, there was a second one as well…

what made it particularly funny was that I had removed two sheets from the sleeves of the shirt in the morning when I got dressed… apparently that particular shirt likes to collect stuff…

I rip the sheets in half and reuse them a number of times which means that there could be a number of them in a load of laundry…

I also went out for lunch… there were no diners behind me and luckily my friend didn’t notice, I hope, lol…

the next day I put on a pair of Spring-looking leggings which I thought I’d worn before… at the end of the day I discovered they had the plastic size information still on the leg…

lucky for me, I spent the day at home;-)…

my beloved would have noticed these things…

I cannot believe it…

June 11 and all of the flowers had to be covered because there was a frost warning…

sigh…

good thing there was a bag full of old sheets in the garage… and that I knew exactly where they were, lol…

not sure the temperature fell below zero, but glad I protected them…

spent some time this morning removing the sheets and hanging the baskets back up… they were a little sad to have been covered up, but they were all alive, lol…

sheets…

what a wonderful evening…

supper out with some very special women…

tried shrimp stuffed eggplant at Blaze Bistro… tasty…

then it was off for pedicures… such fun…

as we left the spa the sky was dark gray… getting into the car it was starting to spit…

by the time I arrived home I’d driven through sheets of rain, loads of lightening and waterlogged streets… that part wasn’t so fun, lol…

as I write this the thunder is rolling around the sky… it looks amazing out there… and is currently sounding like fireworks… yikes…

but my toes are stunning;-)…

big girl pants, Black Friday, budget, headboard, mattress, paint, purple, sheets, widow

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…
