What a gorgeous face!

Good morning.

Back from the laundry room where I washed the old mattress pad in preparation for donation, since it still works. I went to put the new one on and when I started to take it out of the box, I got a whiff of old body oils.

WHAT??? Sure enough, there was a stain about 18” across at the bottom end of the mattress pad. It may be something besides body oils, but it IS oil of some kind and I have contacted the company about it. So the old one will go back on until such time as a replacement has been sent.

My Favorite Son called last night. All the noisy buttons were turned mostly off, but I had turned over to get out of the damp and heard the phone vibrate against the night stand. Well, the call lasted for an hour and 17 minutes.

All the stuff I’ve been telling them in letters over the last few years were “suddenly” revealed in that one call because of questions that they asked. I told them several times that it was all in the letters, and nothing should be a surprise and yet, there was “the world’s best kept secret.” “Not if you had read the letter when it came.”

Fun times. One of the apartment complexes was ruled out because of vermin, but the other just happened to be a place where my Favorite Son had lived at one time, so with any luck at all, I’ll have more information on it this week.

In the meantime, I feel that loss of sleep...

But the laundry is done and later on, I’ll make the bed.

The weather is fairly mild but I don’t know how long that will last, as the wind is forecast for later today. Sharon sent me a text while I was on the phone, asking if I would be available this morning.

Yes, but why do people pick Mondays, and why do my kids insist on calling/texting me when I’m in bed? Yes, they know.
