Ending my Sunday

I wanted three fairly small shelves from Lowes, but they were low on stock in white. I feel like the white shelves would look better. I could have gotten black. They only had two of the small size, and one was chipped on a side and was marked down about ten dollars. I did not want to buy a broken one, though. I bought the one small shelf, and one quite a bit bigger but it should work out just fine. I have had similar shelves before, but these are nicer, and also harder to put together. I got the small one done. I may not need a third shelf. This is for my canned goods and boxed goods in the pantry. At noon, while shopping, we only had a protein drink and some chips. I did that because Bob was feeling "off". He is on a couple of new medicines and he may need to eat more. Tonight we ate the chicken salad I had made yesterday. I mixed Miracle Whip, a little honey and some wine vinegar infused with red basil to make the dressing. It was great. We will have it at noon tomorrow as well. When the shop changed Bob's oil in his little car they overfilled it. He will go back tomorrow and have them make it right. I will work around here, of course. Good night to all of you. I am headed for bed pretty soon.

I think he is going to have to make a point to eat earlier, and more, because of this medicine.

I'm glad to hear you found something you can make work. It's a shame they didn't have exactly what you wanted. I think Chilly wants his ice water. I'll have to see if enough dropped.

This is actually better than what I wanted originally, so I am not complaining.

Thank you. Some nights I do, others I do not. At least I can make up for it in the summer.

I read that the shelves worked well so that's good.

Actually what I got worked better than what I wanted. And cost about ten dollars less over all.

Doing things to make extra room or space is always a good thing but when you can't find that certain thing to make it happen it makes it hard to keep that vibe going, so we buy what will work. That's not a bad thing, that's what we do when we're trying to get by as cheap as we can & make the cabin look decent at the same time.

Sometimes it turns out better than we expected. I like the shelves I ended up with much better.

@GardenGerty & we don't spend as much as hired help would either.
