Everything but the posters and floor sticker arrived yesterday. I love it all but the polyester shower curtain/tapestry. The tropical image doesn’t look nearly as clear, sharp and realistic as it appears online. Not worth $30 and will be returned, though I’m sure it functions just fine as a shower curtain if that’s what you want it for.

The cardigan is a good fit (size M), though the material is a bit rough and the stitching isn’t very tight. I also got navy when the picture looked like a deep plum color. It’s still a good deal for $11. It sure keeps me warm too, and I can drop the temp in here a couple of degrees.

The pots and pans with their tempered glass covers and set of black utensils are lovely. We got so much for just under $40. Way good deal for the price. We got a large red frying pan, a small black frying pan (I would’ve made this light pink or lavender), a small dark pink pot, a medium royal blue pot, a large dark yellow pot, and an even larger mint green pot.

My rainbow crystals are stunning. There are 12 crystal hearts in different colors attached to a bouncy coil wire. Worth $30? I start to say no since it’s only 9” long, but it’s so incredibly dazzling!

I’m also happy with the wooden wind chime. Excellent size and sound for just $8. Waiting for the sun to come up so I can hang them on the patio across from the master bedroom.

Lastly, I’m sure the rats will love their hanging tent. Good size/deal for under $10.

Said hello to Bob yesterday who told me I was looking good. Sure feel good, too. I asked if Virginia sewed since my jeans could stand to be shortened a few inches, and he said no. I’m not surprised. I don’t think Virginia does much of anything, LOL, other than watch TV, but hey, the lady’s 84 years old. She’s entitled. Bob was out spraying weeds and then some old lady with a walker came by.

We’re now hitting the 60s for the first time this year. Late January is when it typically begins to slowly warm up here, though we are in for another round of rain soon enough.

Been feeling great and sleeping better. I know it won’t last, so I’m enjoying it while it does. Perimenopause symptoms love to attack in spurts. Worried that I’m going to walk around with sore boobs 2/3 of the time, though.

Because I feel so good and have good energy I’ve been keeping both busy and active. I was barely halfway through my day yesterday when I’d already done at least a dozen things.

We don’t know why, but this place is now under new management by a new couple. Don’t know if they live here or not, though. Tom read that Joy is still around training the new people, and I guess they’re replacing someone in the office, too. Did Joy retire or is she moving?

Anyway, Tom and Nanette D are the new front-runners.
