Saturday Errands

Saturday for both of us (although Maxx is working 2-6 tomorrow for some volunteered overtime), so we got a bit of running around done.  Got to the drug store and tested my blood pressure, was at 148/99 with a pulse of 93 then at 144/100 with a pulse of 92 ... think I'll start stopping in on my way home at lunch and checking quickly, to see if I can chart this over the course of a few days, and make an appointment to get in to see the doctor for a scheduled appointment.

Angel's new harness came in at Bosley's, so we picked that up, and when we got home I fitted it to her, although it likely will still need a bit of adjustment.  Then I managed to get a fairly thorough grooming done, even if we did have to lock Imp and Elf away in another room at one point to get them off the sofa so I could concentrate on Angel without them jostling us or stepping on her.

Also ended up going out to M&M Meats, as they had a sale on.  Picked up some chicken bits that we're going to cook for dinner, and Maxx got some coconut shrimp, which he'll likely have for dinner.  We tried some of the M&M products while visiting Holly and Noni et al, and they were darned tasty, so we thought we may as well pick some up for quick meals.

Then, got a little bit of housework done.  May still do a bit more later, but right now I'm letting the dishes drip dry (always seems to work better than my towels which tend to leave streaks .... good excuse!) and have another load in soaking.  Also need to get some laundry done, but I'll perhaps pop that in tomorrow. That's one of the good things about three-day weekends, having more time to get stuff done!

Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the home show here in town today, and with Maxx working tomorrow we won't be heading to it tomorrow either.  Wanted to check out some different flooring options, with the hopes of ripping out the carpet this year when the weather gets good and getting some sort of flooring down instead (if we don't find lovely flooring underneath which just needs to be refinished, which is what we believe we have in the living room, at least).  We'll see, it will all depend on finances ... what doesn't!?
