Yesterday I mentioned there were several packages that arrived. In my defense, there are none scheduled to arrive today or tomorrow.
One of the packages had two packs of floss from Victoria Clayton. One was for Ann Pegg and one was for Mary Goodwin.
I remembered opening the package, looking at the floss bobbins and setting them aside.
After opening all the packages, I brought the floss and the charts into the living room, spread it all out on the floor and began matching up floss to charts to put it all into project bags. About 9:30 p.m., I thought . . where are those floss bobbins? There’s a drawer in the computer table next to my chair. I thought . . maybe I put them in there but I kept sorting through what I had in the floor.
About 10:30, I thought about those bobbins again and knew I wasn’t going to go to sleep til I found them. Then the thought occurred to me . . what if I threw them in the trash with the empty envelopes? I almost woke Vince up to tell him I was going out to dig through the trash but then I realized . . I’d have to tell him I had lost the floss bobbins so I took my chances on someone getting me outside. I ran out, grabbed all the empty packages that thankfully were on top of the stinky trash. I brought them into the garage and mashed the envelopes to make sure they were flat and empty. They were all flat and empty.
I came back inside, looked in the drawer of the computer stand and there they were. Why didn’t I look in there since I already halfway remembered that I had put them in there? Who knows?
I was able to go to bed and not have to worry about the floss bobbins. This is where I always say I’ll do better but . . will I? Probably not.

Oh dear! I’m not sure how I’d feel about dumpster diving… But definitely better you than me!!! 🙂 Have a fun day! My new grandson is coming home from the hospital today, so I most definitely will have a delightful day! 🙂

Oh Judy, you give me a chuckle nearly every day. Kinda wish we were neighbors. I think we’d get along quite well 🙂
Happy Tuesday!

Having a cat who loves little things like that, my first thought was Boots had fun with them!

Boots will stay upstairs if I’m sitting and he can sit with me but as soon as I get up, he goes back downstairs. He’ll come up later, see what I’m doing, sit with me if I’m sitting but if not, he goes back downstairs. He wasn’t upstairs much yesterday so I hadn’t even thought about him messing with them. For the most part, I was downstairs yesterday and when I’m down there a lot, he seems happy when I leave and doesn’t come upstairs. In the evenings, he loves sitting in the sewing room windowsills and watching what’s going on outside and then I close the door and keep him in the sewing room at night.
