Carol, I’m not sure when we last bought our mattress, however, we certainly had sticker shock to day when the sales person showed us a $3,000. mattress. We had to come home empty handed just to get over the shock.😱

Good Morning! Wow, Cathy, on that $3000 mattress....furniture in general has a high markup, but that's just ridiculous !
Our bike ride yesterday was great, but it took more time getting ready, etc. than planned. Well, we actually hadn't planned to do a bike ride but the weather was good and we have other things scheduled for the rest of the week, so.....I am listing some things here that didn't get done yesterday
Wednesday possibilities:
--cull a bunch of email
--declutter 15 min. in MBR✅
--laundry - sorted but not done yet
--bookkeeping ✅
--finish that weekly plan
--practice 🎻
--walk ✅ at ye olde golf course/park. In addition to the Disc Golf course, they have built Pickleball courts at one end, a small accessible playground, and some park benches throughout. I was happy to see they are keeping the "back nine" area somewhat wild, allowing for some quiet hikes and maybe allowing some butterflies, birds, etc to enjoy it!
--wind down earlier!

Good morning. We’re taking a long day trip today to a craft store that has more items to make cards. Many of the large craft stores carry less card making supplies since people get them online. We have never been there but heard it was great. It is 1 hr 45 mins away but we love to take rides. So, not a lot will get done. I did get a lot of decluttering done yesterday.
Thursday possibilities:
—Bible study homework🧚♂️
—make sympathy card
—set crock pot🧚♂️
—day trip

The day trip was great. It’s been years since I’ve been to an independent craft store. So many goodies so little money.🤣. DH kept telling me to buy things because he thought it would make a great card (how did I get so lucky)? Thanks for reminding me Carol that we need to get our Covid booster and flu shots. DH also needs shingles vaccination,
Friday possibilities:
—play with new craft items🧚♂️
—grocery shop🧚♂️
—make appt for vaccinations
—update budget🧚♂️ and pay bills
—make online order
—wind down

1:09 and I’m just making my list. I told myself I need to start setting a timer so I don’t spend all day sitting and playing games on my IPad but I haven’t done it yet. I did get my Bible study home work done, started the wash, and paid the property taxes so I guess that’s a step in the right direction.
Wish all a blessed and calm weekend!
Weekend possibilities:
—make tortillas
—pay taxes🧚♂️
—laundry (started)🧚♂️
—practice
—Bible study homework🧚♂️
—errand🧚♂️
—pay other bills
—make online order🧚♂️
—declutter🧚♂️ Cleaned top drawer in master bath and threw away old rx
—sweep🧚♂️/mop master bathroom
—church🧚♂️
