Simply thoughts

So, I've seen it but have never done it; list random thoughts that sum up my day, week, or whatever.  Here goes.

I'm looking for a very skinny pouch to tuck my Kindle into so it will be protected from any mishap like my hand lotion opening in my purse. This has never happened to me, but it would be disappointing if it suddenly decided to happen while my Kindle was tucked "safely" away.  I'm looking for the thinnest plastic sleeve similar to some CD sleeves I used to see when CD's were more, um, seen.

I won my Kindle in a contest.  I wrote about how YNAB software helped our family get out of debt.  One of the six prizes went to me and it was this cool Kindle; I've read one book on it, and listened to one other book on it so far.  FB has robbed me of most of my random reading time.  It's all my fault, I know.

I received my new Tracfone today.  I was able to transfer my phone number and my minutes, but not my contacts or pictures.  A conversation with Fran tells me not to start reloading it manually yet....one of the boys might have a SIM card reader that would do it for me.  Interesting.  Today's Tracfone guy was Spanish; he would have chosen "1" for Spanish when calling for tech support.

I got a new Tracfone because my old one stopped working.  Too bad, cause the tech on the phone who tried to help me for at least a half hour last week spoke clear American English and even understood my humor, frustration and sarcasm.  I don't try any of that, oh, except the frustration, when I'm the phone with a foreign sounding person.

Anna made some yummy macaroons today.  Another friend suggested they'd be even better with chocolate. She might be right.  Isn't everything better with chocolate?  She used the cream that separated in a can of coconut milk.  There is still some of it left so I have to figure out what to do with it.  I know, Google.  I'll get to it.

I like watching Kitchen Nightmares.  I've just finished Season 1 and started with Season 2, all on Hulu.

There is still a lot of construction dust around here.  It's mostly all around the edges of the floors...we've walked the rest of it onto our socks and washed it away in our laundry.

Micah just emailed; he has a sim card reader with him...in Iowa. He'll help me do the task when he gets home...in two weeks.

The recent rain washed about two feet of snow away.  Now there is only about a foot left.

It's hard to read posts on Facebook by people who miss their husbands because they've been gone for a week, (or less.)  I know that's a looonnggg time to them, so I refrain from commenting, but I do sigh or scowl just a little.  We're at six weeks down, two to go.  For this round.  Then we start it all over again in July. Incidentally, I know that anyone reading this who has a husband gone for a year-long deployment would wonder what my problem is since Fran's only been gone for six weeks.  I know.  I get that too.

Now I need to go up and strip the bed.  Anna told me that the cat threw up on it, and while she cleaned up most of it for me, (she is amazing,) she said I'll still want to wash the linens.  That was this morning, and I forgot about it and here it is 8:19pm.  Guess I'll be using my back-up quilt........quiltsssssss.

That was fun. Bye.  Maybe next time I'll add photos.
