I got the hard work done early -- mowed and edged the front yard before it got too sunny out there. Dishwasher has just finished running. I am drinking a lot of iced green tea. I will vacuum later and tomorrow is grocery day. I have a follow up dr appt tomorrow afternoon. Friday is a light workout and rest and lots of water intake and race prep. This year, I think I will take a "drop bag". It's a bag you can leave at a designated spot with additional food, fluids, etc. I have never felt the need before, but this year I think it will be needed. I am going to freeze small water bottles for the bag and also place paper towels and sport Jelly Belly beans in it.

I found a snowman Christmas tree for sale, on FB Marketplace. It's new and only $20. I haven't put up a tree in probably 35 yrs. I finally gave away all my decorations, about 5 yrs ago. (My place was too small and my family didn't visit.)
I'm not going to put a lot of effort, or money into decorations, in case my family still doesn't visit. But this way, I won't have to buy/store ornaments and stuff. But I'll have a tree, if the littles come over.
I'm going to go pick it up, today.

I got my Christmas tree. But looking at the box, I'm guessing it isn't new. But hopefully, it's in good shape, when I take it out. The box looks super water damaged, so I'm glad I didn't spend any more than I did on it.
Fingers crossed 🤞

Did the seller say it was water damaged? I hope the tree isn't water damaged.

I dropped off more paperwork at the post office for DS. I'm going to take a very short nap before dinner, because I'm drained. I may have something in the strawberry margarita family before bedtime tonight.

Did the seller say it was water damaged? I hope the tree isn't water damaged. It was a lady, 10 years older than I am. But no, she didn't say it had been water damaged. I think she probably just doesn't remember much about it. Although I could be wrong. The other stuff in her garage didn't look water damaged. I was glad her nephew was there, to carry it out and put it in my car.

Maybe the box is just weathered? The tree was kind of bursting out of the box.
Now I'm worried about spiders!

If you don't like spiders, you wouldn't like my basement right now. The critters know Winter is coming, and I'm finding new "friends" all of the time. I spare some, but I use a shop vac when I find one in an awkward spot, like by my dryer door. I don't want to touch them, especially since we have the brown recluse spider in our state.

That's awful. I'm hoping there are none in my car now. Once I was driving down a very busy road, with nowhere to pull off quickly and a spider dropped from the ceiling of my car, right over my steering wheel! I can't believe I didn't wreck! It still freaks me out. Don't you worry that they'll come climbing back out of your vacuum? I can't/don't even flush them, because I'm worried about them coming back. I can't even clean up dead ones. Nope!
