5 thing Friday - deer, books, thrifting, sink project, shoes

 Its very hard to see below, but those are a dozen deer staring me down from a neighbor's yard while I was on my walk.  That's a big nope for me, so I turned around.  Did you know that whitetail deer may actually chase you? At Highlands, they would snort and stamp and you knew to give them a wide clearance.
In NW Austin where the population of deer are so high, they are no longer afraid of humans and have acted aggressively, chasing joggers!  I would rather take the avoidance tack.
After my dentist appointment, I took myself to Half Price Books and got three new reads and a puzzle, then ate a KFC chicken sammie in my car while I watched a Brene Brown video.
Conveniently located next door is a Goodwill, so I stopped in and found this pretty Coldwater Creek long sleeve blouse for $6.  A kinda fun day.
The situation under the kitchen sink.  Not terrible, but I have wanted one of those vinyl cabinet liners for a while now.  There is some shelf liner down there, but any water spills can still cause problems (ask me how I know).
The vinyl liner has a lip to hold spills in and is the exact size of the space.
I pulled everything out of the cabinet and gave it a wipe down.  I'm just going to leave the shelf liner in place as the subfloor to this cabinet is warped and ugly.  Some of the things got tossed or went to live elsewhere.
Then I placed the new liner inside, with all of the stuff I use often. Neat! Literally.
Someone take my credit card away.
I ordered myself THREE pair of shoes this month.  One pair to replace the disintegrating ones.  Then two more pair of casual shoes to help me with outfits I already own.  The thing with my foot (bursitis?) is still happening, so comfortable well-supportive shoes are a must. Its a good thing I worked some overtime over the holidays.  That, and being so darn cute.  Ha!

Yikes! All those deer would give me pause for walking too. Oh I NEED one of those under the sink liners; ours has leaked so many times and it's destroying the wood. I don't keep much of anything else under there anymore.
