Prep and supplies

So today I went and picked up some supplies in preparation for post surgery.  I found the B-12 tablets that dissolve under my tongue, the Calcium Citrate and some unflavored soy protein powder.  Oh - a new soup also, sweet potato and some broth.  All found at Trader Joe's.  I know most people just love that store, but I think it is uncomfortable to shop there.  There is no room for a cart and just too many people.  I just want to smack the ones that collect in a small group and talk, blocking the aisle the whole time.  Hello, don't I look hungry and dangerous with my cart coming towards you?  I think all I need to get are some baby spoons, an ice cube tray (to divide my leftovers in) and some vanilla protein powder for the fun flavored shakes I will make at some point. 

I also went through 3 tubs of old clothes.  I had saved them from my 'thinner' era.  I say thinner, but it was thinner than now, no small.  Unfortunately, when my husband and I moved to where we are, I had no place to store them and they sat outside stacked in a tower.  A couple weeks ago I went to move one (with my foot) and the sun had weakened it so much, my foot went through the corner.  I decided today, before tomorrows light rain, I would go through the bottom one.  I dragged my husband outside, armed with a broom for the spiders, but we didn't realize we were in for an adventure. 

I wanted to only go through the one on the bottom, so I was just going to move them, but my husband encouraged me to open the top one.  Good thing I did, somehow water had gotten inside and all the clothes wet sopping wet.  One had started to mold and the rest were dripping.  One by one I pulled things out and decided if they could or should be kept.  I never realized that an opaque / clear tub would cause the sun to get in and bleach your clothes.  Sadly, I could not keep many because they had bleached stripes all over them.

The second tub we got ready to move and it completely collapsed into lots of plastic pieces.  These clothes were not wet, but the sun had bleached many.  I started to fill a pillow case full and had filled it just in time for the last tub.  Surprisingly, it was not the worse one.  I saved quite a few things, including a leather jacket, some belts, tops and a few blazers and skirts.  It will be a bit before I can get back into them, but that gives me time to get them washed or dry cleaned.  Now I have to hope they are still in style.  Most of this was from 2005 and 2006 and fashion changes.

I think that is it for tonight, I have the house to myself and I think I will re-familiarize myself to the remote.  I ♥ my remote.

Until the next time,
