soapy sales

Saturday or Sunday, maybe ... Friday ... ? Whichever.   I was folding a whole load of bath towels at once. We don't have a linen closet bc I guess those had not been invented in 1895 (tbh we have almost no closets here) so we don't have a whole lot of bath towel inventory in circulation, Anyhow, folding, I noticed these towels were threadbare & I would be loath to give them to a guest. Obviously, we needed new towels. I was finding my shoes to run this errand & had the clearest thought ... I want those towels like sculptured carpet.

It was like I dreamed them so they came true. Right there at TJ Maxx.  Hashtag: luckiest girl.

 

Maybe I really want sculptured carpet.  It was interesting to me, this fault, bc I guess in the past, as a pet-owner, I was always scanning the supply to see what could be pulled for pet duty. Also, just kid-stuff cleanup but for the last four years, whatever, I'm way more interested in kitchen/hand towel upkeep/replacement.

 

2021 is rolling along. A couple of days after my last post I fell down the stairs but was caught, suspended by my right ankle lodged in the banister so that put the kibosh on the Chloe Ting project, at the time.  I'm still hanging on without the gym, doing ok without the yoga studio ... I went to a party on Saturday and the guest of honor was having his 80th birthday, fine & well, robust, even. My most visited acquaintance in 2021 is not quite 10 years younger & can barely move around.  I'm thinking a lot about how they say health is wealth, man it seems like it is everything.  I feel like I knew already, like I left a message for myself in the past, like 12 Monkeys, "Get down on the floor, girl!" Probably I slipped in some sculptured towel promotion, too, lolol xx

Hope your ankle is strengthening. I have had a world of knee and foot challenges in the past 6 months and it has been horrifying to me to think I might turn into a person who was not mobile. Getting those miles in on the bike is helping but daily habits need to be formed. Also, love those towels!

I'm not worse for the wear. Thankfully, having a ballet child exposed me to secret underworld of fixers & rehabilitators. I'm doing the best I can with a still-closed-up gym. Even since Fifille & I discovered locomotion is its own thing, we still can't bring ourselves to train lol. (We might have to socialize, ick) Maybe we need better steps-counting competition. There were only four of those towels & I'm not ready to go all over finding more.
