Wednesday: Gad zooks. It was 20 degrees F this morning when I went down to do my morning chores. I had to break the ice on most of the water tubs. Naturally adding new water was out of the question. The hoses were frozen. By the time I got back from feeding the chickens (first task in the morning), my hands were frozen.
Chas and I left early for Olympia. Chas had to get his blood syphoned off plus he had to pick up his repaired hearing aids and pick up some diabetic strips.
After all that was over we headed to iHop to have breakfast. We were horrified to find out that they no longer served corn pancakes AND an omlette costs well over $9.00 and closer to $11.00. Seems unlikely that we'll ever eat at iHop again. Talk about sticker shock.
We headed to Costco to do our every six weeks to two months major shopping expedition. I picked up a couple of formed pillows. They're intended for those who sleep on their sides and back (me). What I'll do is use one of those pillows and give Chas mine. I don't know how he does it but he totally destroys the pillow itself, not that he rips and tears it but he does make them terribly lumpy and hard to sleep on.
Next time we go I plan to buy one of those 4 inch bed pads that cover your mattress and make it more comfortable. Cheaper to buy a $179 pad than a $1500.00 new mattress.
It was well after 2pm before we got all the produce and pop unloaded from the car. We've got quite a bit of the produce taken to the basement and otherwise put away.
After a short rest I went outside to do the evening chores. The hoses and water tubs were unfrozen so I was able to add new water to the tubs.
Dinner was leftover soup and cornbread made from scratch.
