dchenesI didn't do anything worth writing about on Friday, except stay home and cook a mediumish Napa cabbage with a pound of ground pork and a bag of rice cakes so as to have lunches for the coming week.
On Saturday I went out and bought a paint scraper and some sandpaper to get the two or three windowsills that really need it ready to be repainted later this month, when there's leftover paint from the upstairs hallway. And I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought a box spring cover, which I hope will work because the new box spring is split (so is the old one, but it doesn't have a cover). I had to drop it in the washing machine immediately upon getting it home, because the store reeks of potpourri and the box spring cover reeked of industrial chemicals and I didn't want to deal with waiting for either of those to fade. And I went to Trader Joe's and discovered they've got baskets out again, so I can stop being so paranoid about putting more in a cart than I can carry home.
Today I had Easter lasagna in Noank. I was the least vaccinated person out of the six of us; everyone else has had their second shots already, even if it wasn't two weeks ago. So I kept a mask on except for eating, and we all hugged each other anyway because we all needed that. And I got to see what Dad has done with the shop (including, he says, sending literally 2.2 tons of stuff to the dump) and was duly impressed. And the lasagna and blueberry pie were both quite nice.
Tomorrow the new mattress arrives sometime between 2:15 and 4:15, so I can still do laundry and watch movies in the morning and enjoy my last very-long-weekend day.
