BITTER COLD OUTSIDE as we traveled to Manhattan, Kansas for a medical appointment for HUBBY to have some stitches removed from his chest. Good news, the leison that was removed was not cancerous. Praise the LORD.
We left HOME early enough to go to TARGET to pick up some items that were needed for furthering our 'GET ORGANIZED' CLUB before going to the medical appointment. Hubs dropped me off at the front door and I waited for him while he found a place to park our chariot. We shopped, checked out then walked from the TARGET building to the parked car. It was brutally cold my bluejeans were uncomfortably cold by the time I sat in the car. My face was turning beet red. The temp was about 7 degrees. Too cold for comfort.
While shopping, I looked high and low for wool dryer balls so I wouldn't have to use dryer sheets when doing laundry. Found them. I wanted something to hold wrapping paper for tidying up my stash such as an over the door shoe holder. I saw where you use a shoe holder to hold rolls of wrapping paper cutting the bottom of the pocket out so the long paper rolls are held in place. Flour, sugar and baking soda. More non-slip velvet hangers. I picked up a glass utility bottle with pump for liquid laundry detergent. On a clearance shelf were two canvas oblong boxes for wrapping paper. Thought about it and decided to purchase them as I think they will be sturdier than the shoe holders. Only $4.50 each.
Went to the doctor's early and he got in early. Nice when that happens. We'd plan on heading HOME after the appointment since it was so cold. Arrived HOME safe and sound, unloaded our supplies and took a nap.
Woke up, had supper, continued tidying the house doing some laundry and watched a movie with some hot chocolate. We were expecting snow around 6, but it didn't show. A little disappointed. There's always tomorrow. This week-end will be icy cold.
Hubby just looked out the window announcing that it is SNOWING! That's good. It's a beautiful snowfall.
I assembled the new wrapping paper boxes. As I was filling them with all my wrapping paper that was tucked in the corner of the utility room, I hadn't realize that I had so much paper. Tomorrow I'll stick the boxes under the bed. Some order will take place as I am a member of the 'GET ORGANIZED' CLUB. I think I will need to get another container that will fit under the bed that holds all my ribbons and paper gift bags. I have quite a collection. Whahooo. Getting NEAT is a work-out for me.
Over the week-end, I'll continue working on LAUNDRY and tidying up the house. I will transfer my antique Madrid Depression dishes into plastic storage tubs. That will be another goal reached. Making slow progress, but progress just the same. As the month comes to an end, the laundry hopefully will be ALL CAUGHT UP.
We had left over turkey pot pie for supper so tomorrow we'll have turkey sandwiches and maybe turkey with noodles for another meal. Gobble gobble. 🦃
