The only thing I remember doing this day was taking Max for 3 walks, vacuumed the exhaust fan screen in the bathroom, emptied the tanks, vacuumed the floor, read my book, ate breakfast, nibbled, fed Max, sketched a little, etc.

Diane went shopping.

I’m willing to bet she was busier than me. What I did was busy work, just to pass time until Diane got back. Max is the same way. We’re happy that she enjoys her alone time, but we miss her when she’s gone. Even for just a little while. Then we’re really happy when she comes back. There’s always the chance she won’t or can’t.

Today she returned from one of her favorite thrift stores with a large “mystery” box that she paid $3.50 for. It was for me, she said, because it was labeled electronics. When things calmed down from her celebratory return, we sat down to open it and see what we got.

Let’s see how much I can remember.

There are 3 digital headphones, 1 Kodak digital photo frame, 4 charging cords, 1 working heat gun, 1 working flashlight, 3 boxes of LED light bulbs, 1 Gold PS2 mouse, 1 working digital alarm clock, 1 HDMI cable, 1 set of computer speakers, 1 really heavy speaker, 1 not so heavy speaker, 1 Old Maid card game (with all the cards), 1 RC car, and 1 Radio Shack appliance timer.

If, for some reason, we are invited to a White Elephant party, we have lots of gifts for the masses. I’ve been saving a couple of brand-new boxes of 3.5″ and 5″ floppy disks for that reason, too.

Diane also got a beautiful brand-new quilt and a coloring book.

The coloring book goes with the new box of crayons I found on the giveaway table by the laundry. She had a really good time, but we were glad to get her back.

That’s it for today.
