I kind of felt like a bag lady at a late lunch today, digging through my bag (and SUV console) for stashed bills to pull together a couple hundred to hand my daughter for her birthday gift. Her favorite boots tore in an odd spot and the boot repair place told her there wasn't a way to repair that (except glue, but it wouldn't last long). Dawned on me that this would be a practical gift, so when she looked up the company and style from when she bought them a few years ago on her phone, I dug around for cash. PayPal wasn't cooperating to transfer funds, but the old green spends just as well.

We are due for some weather this weekend. Suits me fine, to stay in and enjoy the rain. I may need the downtime because this afternoon I got both my seasonal flu shot and the newest COVID booster.

The Shark vacuum needs its occasional complete cleanout and soaking the foam filters inside. Then I'm going to tackle the front room, rearrange eBay items, dog beds, and flatten many more boxes. An early start on "fall cleaning," if there is such a thing. A gift to myself in my goal to eventually move bedroom furniture out of the sewing studio.
