Good Day, Bad Day, Good Day, maybe...

It was another dreary day in Southeastern Pennsylvania, cloudy and a fine mist all day.  Could have used a more steady rain for my ground water and well, but I will take anything I can get.

I got up fairly early.  Coffee and some computer work.  I had been contacted by a lady in New Jersey to do a fast embroidery job (due to her this Friday) and I was awaiting the email with the properly spelled names that had to go the hoodies I had ordered.  I sent a text message to her and still nothing.

I had a dental cleaning today, so I had an early lunch and headed to Christiana.  The dentist that I have gone to since arriving in town back in 1976 had been suffering from some pinched nerves in his back for a year.  He went through some risky surgery so he could continue to do his job (the nerves made it impossible to handle his instruments) but it did not correct the problem and he had to retire and sell his practice to the dentist he shared office space with.  This was the first time I was going to the new dentist as his patient.  I got a “Look Ma, No Cavities” from him and headed home.

That is the good part of my day...

I got home from the dentist to find the hoodies on my back porch.  I am thinking… great, now I just need the information.  I left a voice mail for the lady who ordered them and opened the package to check the hoodies.  OMG!!!  I ordered 2 medium.  The invoice said 2 medium and the packing list said 2 medium.  The hoodies were both LARGE!!!  So, on the phone to my supplier, new hoodies on their way along with a shipping label to return the large ones.  Now, if the picker there gets the right size, I may still have a shot at getting them to New Jersey on time.  If not, I may be driving there before going to Indian Acres on Friday.  Several text messages and I finally have the names for the hoodies.

That is the bad part of the day.

I had a chance to talk to one of my bestest friends today.  She has been battling bronchitis and talking for any period of time was difficult at best, usually ending in coughing fits.  She called and was obviously feeling much improved.  I am so happy as she is going to be my roommate in November at a Quilting Retreat in Bird-In-Hand, PA.  I would hate for her to miss out on the fun.  I told her how well my portable ironing board is working out, so I gave her the link to the Etsy site and she ordered one while we chatted.  We should be well equipped for the retreat.

I checked on the flea spray stuff and it should be on my back porch along with the hoodies tomorrow.  So, once I finish the hoodies, I will begin reading all about the insecticide so I can begin spraying on Thursday.

That is another good part of my day.

So, if all of the ducks fall into a line tomorrow, I should have a good and busy day tomorrow.  I love busy days.
