Tiny morning floof!

Good morning.

I did go back to sleep, and the phone was off. It’s just that I was still in the act of covering up when the phone lit up. Even when the ringer is off, it will light up. Some times, I have the presence of mind to turn it over, but not yesterday.

Anyway. I don’t know if you recall my $5 footlocker or not, but I’m going to finish the story, now.

I had all the parts listed that I would need on a “wish list” at eBay, and with the paint, it was around $100. The more I looked at it, the more I wondered if it would be worth the hassle, and then I began pricing footlockers. I found one I thought would be perfect with dimensions that were slightly larger than the one I had.

I found one on eBay for $99, with a pair of wheels for an additional $20+, and figured it would be much more suitable for bedding storage, and took everything else off the wish list, and donated the $5 footlocker.

The bigger footlocker came yesterday. I totally misjudged the actual size, but it’s a blessing in disguise. It will hold ALL the linens, including the pillows! I’ll get it out of the box in a while, but I have some rearranging to do in here and then will schlep it into the bedroom to pack it and that’s where it will stay until the move.

I could have gotten a tray to go with it but I felt like it wasn’t necessary. Anyway, it’s a lot of item for $99! The wheels, of course, will make it easy to load and unload.

So this morning, at least for the next hour, will be a little bit on the busy side!

Very pleased that the footlocker has turned out positively!

James and Vlad start driver’s ed this morning (on Zoom, 10 to 5:30). “That’s going to be so boring!” said James, accurately. “Welcome to other people’s lives,” I said, “and you’re welcome.”
