Last night Zoey was poking around the computer monitor cat bed. She was poking and poking and wouldn't stop. When I looked she was trying to move the two pillow. So I swapped them and that's what she wanted. She climbed right in and spent the evening up there all snuggled in.



I had another restless night, fighting the covers and temperatures and then my phone stalker decided that 4:30 am was an appropriate time to call and then leave me a message. My phone has a 'leave me alone while I sleep' function. I now have that turned on.

My swim this morning, on the other hand, was better than usual. It cleared out all my head fog and frustrations.

I got onto 6pm website last night and marked the boots defective and that sent me to a different web page where they wanted details so I explained what was wrong and asked them to pay for the return shipping as well as refund all of my money.

A few hours later I got a note from them apologizing and telling me to keep the boots and they would refund all my money. A pretty fair response, I think. Maybe someone with smaller feet can carve the lump out of the sole. I'll either take them to Goodwill or put them on the free shelf downstairs.

I'm still going back to Zappos. The order I placed - with free shipping - yesterday afternoon is on the truck for delivery today.

This morning, after breakfast, I'm going to break out the sewing machine and iron and get those pillows covered.

Then I think it's a trip to Goodwill. My Goodwill pile is getting close to getting more than I can fit in to the car.

I'm quite taken with my little project. I made pillow shams for bunches of pillows. I hate regular slip cases. I like the kind that tuck in with a foldover on the back. So that's the kind I made.

Here's what the fish bed has looked like for about 10 years. Nice. Really nice. It's always been nearly my favorite place in the house.



Here's what it looks like now!



Probably most people prefer the before BUT not me. I love the color and the plush and, besides, now I have empty storage spots where all those big pillows lived!

I also made two for my own little pillows on my bed. The cover that I've been fighting has gone on the Goodwill pile. I love the print on this duvet but I hate the way duvets and their covers fight each other. I like to sleep under them but I'm not big on how they look on the bed. At least my new pillow shams make me feel better about it all. The duvet cover came with a giant sham which I just divided into two.



They are filming some kind of movie/short/scene thing outside and the access to the garage looks troublesome so I might postpone the Goodwill trip. Maybe I'll take all the shit down to the car and load it up for drop off tomorrow on the way to the pool.

And I need to put the sewing shit away.

And then I may take the rest of the day off.
