This week for some reason (I mean, its not Back to School time), HEB had all of their crayons, markers, and such for 20% off, so you know I had to get some supplies for my little art cart.
As one of many children at home, I remember well the thrill of a big box of crayons all. for. me. So I got a box I don't have to share now, either, ha ha. Because apparently 65 is the new 5. Therapy in a box.
I don't know what it is with me and batteries (and plumbing, and car tires). Mark had many devices around the house that require them and sometimes figuring them out is challenging to me. When I heard a mysterious beeping coming from the office, I discovered that this back-up/surge protector in fact has a battery. I'm not sure when he purchased this - 2020? As with a lot of these gadgets, he didn't really explain how they work or how to set them up. I am assuming he bought it because he was working from home. Its a nice one, and the battery is pricey. Of course it is.
Did I rely on Google lens to identify it? Yes. I also watched a short You Tube video on how to replace the battery. Which I then ordered from Amazon. And now my printer, computer, router, and sharpener are back in business. And I will take the old battery to Home Depot to recycle it.
A couple of fun purchases. The first one are these pretty Mother of Pearl earrings from an Etsy shop. Kinda small, but appropriate for work and light and easy to wear. Me like.
Also two new scrub tops because some of mine are getting tighter...
I have made some changes in how I care for me, and if someday they are too large, that's OK. I also managed to buy myself some protein powder, a blender bottle, and a thrift store novel. And a hotel for a beachy vacay in June.
In keeping with my plan to relax the To Do list and do things for leisure one day a week, I took myself to a movie yesterday, seeing The Drama. What an interesting, quirky film and very thought provoking! I wouldn't call the ending "happy" but it took the story back to the start, full circle. I liked it.
Have a great weekend,
Gina
Those earrings are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are lovely and I get it about the crayons. There's something exciting about your own fresh pack! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hated buying a bigger pair of jeans last fall, but I also needed at least one comfy pair. Working towards getting back into the two bought two years ago after weight loss and had donated my old larger jeans. I'll gladly have this pair too big again.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE crayons!! That big box on Christmas morning was the greatest thing ever. I do think, however, that I appreciate them now more than I did then. Lovely earrings, and well done on the battery charger!
ReplyDeleteCute purchases - crayons and all. The earrings are really pretty. An kudos for getting battery sorted and changed. I'm impressed. Have a great weekend!
