Tinkerbell’s been out all morning so far, except for when she gets temporarily punished for being in places I don’t want her to be, such as on Jade’s lap. Right now the pest is asleep behind its cage. Good! I hope it stays that way for more than 5 minutes. She’s a lot of work, I’ll tell you.

Meanwhile, I’ve ordered another Tonner doll! A basic Esme who’s black and done up with violet eyes and sable hair. She’ll come wearing a violet teddy with matching strappy sandals.

Next Friday I’ll be making a $40 Yves order so I can use my voucher for that free $20 item while still qualifying for free shipping and some freebies as well. Even better will be that $150 oil order!

Later…

What a surprise! The platform came today instead of Monday. I thought it was weird that it said it left Roseburg at 3:30 this morning. That’s the very last stop before it hits here a few hours later, then is sent out for delivery. The guy nearly died carrying it in (it was the same guy who brought the headboard) because it was so heavy at 111 pounds.

I put together half of it and understood all of the instructions except for one thing that’s got me stumped, so I’m going to leave the rest to Tom. I just worry that it may be a little low. The platform’s only 10” and the mattress is 6”, but it can’t be as bad as sleeping on the floor. That’s gotten really old over the last year and a half, and I won’t miss it!

Have we been in the mood to do anything? Of course not, and I’m sure we never will.

There’s still a lot of snow out there from when we had that big snowstorm a few days back. I knew this winter would be snowier and colder. Last winter’s highs were usually in the 40s, but this winter they’re in the 30s. Even so, I’m going to brave the cold tomorrow and go to that Asian store for two more small Lucky Bamboo plants for each bedroom. Hopefully, it will help with the partnership as much as I hate this climate!

Then I’ll brave the cold again on Monday to see the ear doctor that I hope to hell can help me. Tom got out a huge chunk of dead skin this morning and we thought that alone would make a big difference, but it hasn’t.
