Saturday Saga

Is it actually Saturday? Today feels like some weird new day of the week that they haven't named yet that someone shoved in somewhere it didn't belong. Not a Saturday, not a Sunday, not a weekday. Weirday.

I did go to the cleaners this morning, which is a Saturday task, and then K and I went to the supermarket, which is a Sunday. Tomorrow afternoon, the eldest nephew is coming to visit for a while, so we shopped today. Except for a few things we couldn't get, so I'll have to look elsewhere for them in the morning.

One of the things I got today was one of those things you put on your back and it heats up but it's not electric so you can walk around with it. Uh, yeah. I've used them before and they always just stick on, but apparently when you get the one labeled "back", it wraps around your body and holds together in the front with velcro. Very nice, except the crick or whatever in my back is at the bottom of my left shoulder blade. Which, wrapped around the front, would ... not work. So the only recourse left to me ... TMI warning here ... was to let the girls go free and strap the thing over them, i.e., where the girls are supposed to be riding if you're a) 18 or b) never gave birth or c) both of the above. So that's how I spent my day. At home (obviously) and not making any sudden movements.

I still felt lousy all morning but perked up, no pun intended, around two, at which point I was able to put the rest of the holiday things (roasting pan, huge mixing bowl, etc.) back in the basement. So the kitchen looks relatively tidy. I've also managed to get 99% of what I need to buy into my Amazon cart, and I ordered gift cards from there for the niece and nephew I only see on holidays. Monday after school, I'll make a quick trip to the Gap and to the outdoors-y store, and then, I hope, the rest is a click away. Oh, except for one gift card I need at the damn mall. But I'm going to see if I can get that online, too.

So there I am. I need to post and call OldFriend, who called earlier in the week but I was too out of it to talk much, so I owe her. See you tomorrow.
