I got a new duvet cover a while back. I actually got two but returned one because I didn't love it enough. The one I kept is really nice but really heavy. It's a summer weight blanket on its own. Today, at Goodwill, I found two very nice duvet covers. One is exactly the one I returned. $35 on Amazon $5 at Goodwill! I bought it. And another one I really like. Neither are as heavy as the heavy one. This one is a little brighter than the picture shows. Also, it does not look like an unmade bed!

Before Goowill, I went to the Mercedes place and got my fobs fixed. They really aren't fixed. I mean they work, if you are standing next to the car, but they used to work if you were 30 feet away. But, baby steps. If they stop working now, I can go back and say, more than just batteries, dude. He charged me nothing and it took 10 mins so hard to complain. He also looked at the drawer issue and checked with his guy and said that 1. it would take about an hour and 2. neither of them thought there was anything back there that was going to cause a problem. So we voted to leave it until my next annual visit.

As I was driving away, I wondered if somehow my Costco Visa got back in there. I don't see how but maybe.

Then on to a funky specialty store that just moved into new digs. They used to carry tart shells that I used for quiches and periodically I check to see if they have them back. They do not BUT they did have info from their supplier of their smaller shells taped to the fridge. So I came home and looked them up and sent an email asking who carries their frozen tart shells in or near Seattle. Hopefully, I'll finally be able to get some.

After Goodwill then on to Uwajimaya and Daiso (they are next to each other) Daiso had NO Stickies! Their pet inventory was way down, probably to make room for Christmas shit. I'm sure they will be back in January and I have at least one in the secret stash. At Uwajimaya I got a poke bowl for lunch and some eggs and produce. I got tangerines but they didn't have any already peeled so I'll have to do that heavy lifting myself. Sigh.

Then home to a clean house. Oh, the house cleaner told me that the people across the hall - Chris and Tanya bought a house so that's where they moved to. Tough time to be selling or renting a condo in this neck of the woods. I hope they have better luck than the others in the building.

Now I've killed most of the afternoon doing this and that. And today is the first day I've had to use my Dyson cool/hot for hot. I lowered the insulating blinds and turned it on and already I've gained a couple of degrees. I need to get my hands working with the yarn to warm them up. And, now it's 3 pm. This day is pretty near done already.

A tip someone once gave me for distance issues with car fobs.:

Hold the fob under your chin and press it then, the bones in your skull are so heavy that it reflects and strenghtens the signal.

No idea, if this it how it works - but it does work.

It's just occurred to me that the reason my Daiso doesn't have Stickies is probably due to the feathers not passing our strict biosecurity laws. Don't tell Biggie as he might unpack his suitcase.

Well, that was quite neighbourly of you!

Not yet, I need to call ahead to be sure they've got the back oblaten I need for the lebkuchen before I get on the ferry. How is it?
