Friday Fragments

 

 

I’ve been getting up even earlier lately … all those years I swore I was a night owl … I would never ever have dreamt that I’d be getting up before the sun is.  Thankfully I enjoy the peace and quiet in the morning.

 

 

I was finally able to get a photo that comes reasonably close to capturing the look of our new floors. 

The floors are a little darker than they show in the picture, but this is close.  Once we get our furniture back in place (tomorrow), we’ll be back to normal.

 

 

I’ve got a couple of quick errands to run this morning, and after that, I am free for the rest of the day and am hoping to spend some time with my needle and thread … I haven’t quilted all week, and I have some catching up to do.  Especially since I wasn’t able to do any quilting on Threading the Needle Day! 

 

 

My laptop seems to have gotten awfully slooooow lately.  I’ve cleaned the disk, done a “defrag”, and scanned for spyware.  So far nothing unusual has shown up.    I’m not a very patient person, so waiting for stuff to load is annoying.

 

 

We’re back to double-digit temperatures, but I wouldn’t say that it’s cooling off … the highs are still going to be 5-8 degrees above normal.  And the rain that was forecast for yesterday?  Not a drop. 

 

 

Why is it that now that we have a king-sized bed coming, that queen-sized bed seems even smaller? 

 

 

Our “grandpuppy” Holly is a very sick little girl.  DD noticed that she hadn’t been quite herself over the last couple of days and took her into the vet yesterday.  After a bit of a bounce-back yesterday afternoon, Holly took a dramatic turn for the worse early evening, and their vet met them at the clinic.  I was shocked when DD told me that the bill for the after-hours office visit and meds was less than $65.
