I couldn't figure out why Hoodles was unhappy about the whole sunny window scenario. The heating pad had ended its lifespan. No Magic Bag or hot water bottle was a worthy substitute. Perfect. Fan-bloody-tastic as a matter of fact!
I did a special exemplar for my more advanced student specific to a project she's working on. Then I left it on the kitchen table when I went to go teach.
Arriving home completely tuckered, I regrouped and tried to encourage Houdini into bathroom behaviours. Nope. Oh, and the whole banned from swimming in the tub is not going well. I couldn't warm her up in the bath, either. She's convinced I've taken complete leave of my senses. Which may in fact be true.
Out to the bus stop again, in search of new heating pad. No heating pads at the mall with auto shutoff. So I bought the cheapest one they had, and headed home. This means more shopping in the near future. Ugh. Still time to get to the pool, or so I thought. Right. Ten minute time point, then a detour.
Off the bus at 7:15, swim started at 7:30, and I still hadn't eaten. Nor could I wrap my head around cooking. Phooey!!! Stopped at the Chinese restaurant on the corner for a chicken and broccoli dish, and wandered home. Needless to say, no swim for this chick. Supper for Houdini, a dash of Heroes, then bed.
For some reason I'm convinced today's got to be better ... in the meantime I'm still on the AZ souvenir production binge, so I bring you these blue topaz, Sleeping Beauty turquoise, freshwater pearl dangles. I hope I haven't shown them to you already!

Hope today goes better.
Understand limited in-range shopping.
Does lamp work as miserable second-best to heating pad?
Brent: Compact flourescent lights will not suffice, and soon enough they will be outlawed in Ontario (although perhaps Wendy can smuggle them from Hull). And you know what they say; when incandescent lights are outlawed, only outlaws will have incandescent lights.
Wendy: If you have taken leave of your senses, it is quite understandable. Knowing your family, it is quite remarkable that you haven't been sent to an asylum.
Thanks Brent!
Lamps do work as miserable second best ... and I've been considering rigging an adjustable one near the sunny window, but I'm not there yet!
Nigel: Won't they be outlawed in all of Canada? Wasn't it John Baird that unleashed that brilliant plan on us?
Oooh, Wendy - "brilliant" plan? So you aren't giving Baird a "glowing" review?
On the bright side (I can't seem to stop myself), it looks like I could become an outlaw! What fun!
Deb, although Mr. Baird is said to be a bright light in the government ... on this one I'm not convinced.
when i was Mexico I was looking at a nice turquoise pendent for you but I got distracted and forgot about it. But Mistress is adamant we go back this summer so stay tuned.
Comm's that you even thought of me while you were away -- that absolutely made my day. Better even than a shiny thing!
And I do hope you and Mistress scoot down for another getaway this summer. But not for selfish reasons ...
Wendy & Deb:
Lets be clear. Noone bright gets into politics.
