Today, I bought a small three-drawer dresser to hold mitts and scarves and things by the front door. It’s teak veneer over mahogany, inoffensive in appearance, and precisely the right size for the spot where I put it. I’ve been looking for such an item ever since we moved here.

Then the carpet cleaners came to pick up most of the rugs (all pretty filthy), leaving only three that they will take when the bring the first batch back.

Then I went to Kitchener to test-drive a car.

I have had enough excitement, and spent enough money, for one day.
