It's heading for the 70's today and staying a few days - wahoo!

Does that mean lolling about in the sun - not on your life - it means slate walks get scrubbed, the garden gets cleaned up (even tho I'll not be planting again this year), the front of the house and the porch gets hosed off, the 7' long front door mat gets cleaned, the front hall hooked rug gets a soaking, and I can open some windows and begin the touching up of woodwork and window trim around the house.

Today, DHL delivered the 3" Serta memory foam queen size topper for our bed, from Overstock.com. We've been needing a new mattress, as hubby in particular is feeling the effects of the one we have, but the budget doesn't have room for such an expense, not with our needing to spend dough getting this house ready to sell. So, when I saw the 3" topper at 64% off, I couldn't not get it. Who knows, maybe he'll like it enough not to need a new mattress for a long while yet.

But where did they leave the very heavy box? In front of the garage! Not on the front porch or even the back porch. So, little ole weak me hauled the box from the garage, up the back steps into the house, through the house, up the stairs, down the hall, then proceeded to extricate it and the 2 pillows which came with, from the box and slowly let it unfurl (as the instructions say) on the other queen bed, to air out.

I tried it out. I think it will do his bod good, though it might take awhile getting used to the mattress adjusting to one's every move!

Off to work, as it's only - aack - 13 days til May 1st.
