"Hey, big spender!"

I went back to Mattress Mart yesterday and bought a head board anyway. Not expensive at all, but the best (for me) of what they sell. I want something that enables me to sit up and read in bed comfortably, so nothing metal, no "rails" or gaps.

In for a penny, in for a pound. Whatever. At this stage of the game, spending a bit more isn't going to make much of a difference in the overall debt load.

So, fingers crossed the new bed gets delivered next weekend (oh, please!) and then the head board will come in a week or so after that. I wish they stocked these locally, but at least there will be no delivery charge (for either the bed or head board).

I've been keeping my eye out for a new comforter or bed spread or duvet cover, but haven't seen anything that screams "Kim" and is the right colour scheme...and the right price. No rush, and no "need" either. Something new and fresh will come along eventually.

Nicki seems okay, haven't heard him cough since Thursday actually (though it's not an every day thing anyway).

I've been watching a little bit of the Olympic coverage, bits and pieces. I won't go down the road of politics, cheating, back room deals, human rights, homophobia, the killing of stray dogs, etc.

What struck me, however, was that Annie was alive for the last winter Olympic games, hosted in Vancouver, BC. It hit me Friday evening while I was at the sink, washing dishes and listening to CBC TV's commentary. It feels like she's been gone so long now, but it's been only 3 years. The anniversary of her death is coming up next weekend, on the 16th; I guess that's why it struck me so forcibly. Well. There's nothing I can write about that, everyone understands.

I'm just glad to have the boys for company and entertainment!

 

Have a lovely day, everyone. Purrs from the boys and peace from me.
