Dupont:
OK!!! SRS and her explosive stuff! All of which I am so clueless about she might be speaking a foreign tongue----actually she is!!! Poor Patty and her bed and workbench!!! And then.... Somewhere in there - veggies? Oh yeah, I have left the groceries sitting in the hall!! Oh, well!

But I did not buy anymore bread, though tempted. And I did manage to get more cough lozenges though my cough is greatly reduced this last while - since I decided/discovered it was mainly allergies. And I found the batteries for the hearing aids "over near the dvds"; I, literally, had to stop and wonder what a DVD was and really did not see any, but eventually I saw the batteries on the back side of a panel... There was a 3 pack of terrifically cheap Halloween earrings ($3) which I purchased without remembering that H is over!! They really are cute!!

Better luck at Staples/Bureau en Gros (I think). "Where do dead printers go?" "Over there! We recycle!" SO I shall get R to put the two in my car and clear that space in the hall. YAY!

Feeling some better most days now! Going to 3 dif stores was a sign. There have been days when I could not abide going anywhere or would drive to a store and not feel like getting out of the car.   

On our minds now is finding a sleeping apace for Grandson and partner, in addition to son who might even bring his partner. I had 3 designated guest rooms - R has filled two with STUFF! The TV/sewing room has a futon which was very comfortable but, I am informed, it is not in great shape! Guests arriving in 3 weeks...The TV room also needs considerable sorting/tidying... If all else fails, the very comfortable futon mattress could lie on the floor; these guys are still in their 20's!

But the groceries are put away. Now, what else have you reminded me... Music: I have not noticed any in the stores; my hearing aids are wonderful, esp since Taun showed me how to use the phone to regulate sound level! I have avoided canned music all my life. It could be that - like I don't see visual advertising, I have trained my brain not to hear most music - unless I choose it!

Bought more cheeses yesterday. Got a frequent flier card (!) I do find that having a choice is encouraging.

Music? Xmas? The neighbourhood is fraught with lights. Directly across the street overkill of white lighting array up and down the eaves. We have a good drape on that side. Good heavy drapes on most windows, in fact, left by previous owner! YAY! Xmas decor may last into Feb!

Bibles: friends who had a big one on a stand in the bathroom so they could read their way through it - again and again...

They became hoarders and the last time I tried to visit we could not go in the house! Gene, an R.N., became quite ill over those last years and the Drs told them she could not come home from the hospital until they cleared the house completely. I think she had a couple days at home - in the cleaned house - before she died. It was insidious; I saw it happening but didn't!
