I Do Not Regret It

 

I'm going to be writing loads, which means no pics to share, so I thought that instead I would share some of my impulse buys, and you can see why I may have issues. I can't remember how much the box was above, but I know that it came cheap. However I regret nothing about it (apart from the extra plastic sewing needles). I have wanted some chenille for a scarf for a while, as I want a soft scarf and this feels marvellous. I do regret the cleaning book that turned up in the same delivery as it was absolutely useless. I'd hoped to add it to my roster but instead it's confusing, full of tiny print, and barely fit to use to line a bird cage. 

Bear got to his campus safely. I know that because I had a single text, but that's fine. I know that he'd let me know if there was a problem. I'm sure that a lot of people who read this can identify, but it feels just a little off balance that he's not here. I burned one of the candles that he bought me for Christmas.

He found it in a shop local to him and it was lovely, made with pure beeswax, but it burned down into a puddle and I'll have to chip it out of the tealight holder that I used to contain it. I love that he thought of me when he didn't have to, if you see what I mean. He bought it a while before Christmas and it was so thoughtful. 

In other news, one of us left the fridge door ajar some time yesterday. I'm throwing out the bacon because it felt room temperature to the touch, but the cheese and the butter should be fine. Currently the fridge contents are around seventy percent condiments with a strong carrot contingent which I keep forgetting about - which is why I need a dratted 'use up' list.

And the tyre pressure gauge keeps going off. I'm taking it to the garage, just in case, because our road is so dreadful that there could be a slow leak in one of the tyres. It's happened before. However, it's likely that it's just the cold weather. Normally I get a minor service at this time of year. With our car only doing town driving, and now ten years old and counting, I want to make sure that she keeps going for as long as possible. However we've only filled up with petrol three times since her major service in June and there's still half a tank left from the last top-up. She was off the road for most of June and July with the airbag recall, and I haven't even done much shopping. I need to get back to shopping in person so that I don't lose my driving skills. 

Hugs and good health to all.
