Hilariously Happy

As I write this on Saturday morning, we are enjoying a nice, grey, cool RAIN.  Our first substantial rain in 62 days!  I sure love the first few days of rainy season and it is tolerable after that.

Lately I have been enjoying some new purchases.  I prefer Vionic footware and always wear slippers in the house (legos, GI Joe weapons, checkers, etc on the floor).  After five years of living in my black and grey slippers, I indulged and got new pink ones.  I'm really a lover of pink (any shade).  Vionic also provided me with another pair of flip flops.  I had almost worn through two pairs that were purchased in Maui.  What a difference in support!  Tossed the worn out ones in the Goodwill bin.

This past week I bought a huge wedge pillow to sleep with my head elevated.  My eyes have been puffy and bags under my eyes more noticeable (at least to me).  Mr. Google and I did our research and home remedies are sleeping with my head elevated and using a cool eye mask.  While I'm not so sure about my under eye benefits yet, I have been sleeping more soundly thus only getting up once in the night!  It's worth it for that alone.

Now let me rave about zip on sheets!  When Braeden was a baby and we watched him here a lot  (parents worked retail,) the hardest thing was changing the crib sheets.  It was so hard for me to reach over the high sides to get to the two back corners.  And they had to be changed daily as he soaked through every night.  I somehow discovered crib sheets where just the top zipped off and on.  Game changer for Gramma!

Recently the parents decided to get sturdy bunk beds for the boys as they rarely put the trundle bed away so there was no room to play.  The main negative was changing the bedding.  I remembered the crib sheets and lo and behold!  They make all sizes!  The "fitted" sheet extends further under the mattress as it mostly stays on.  Then you can simply unzip the top, flat part for washing.  I even got Queen size for myself.  

P.S. I got the job!  With a fancy title "Social Media Coordinator".  I'm learning new software (Canva) and it's been chaotic this week.  The college student who previously did this position was very helpful the first day and has been incommunicado ever since.  September is Hunger Awareness Month so everyone is very busy.  No one seems to know the passwords so that I can begin posting.  My boss took Friday off for her sister's wedding this weekend, so I'm just winging it for now!  Now to learn about Instagram and Twitter.

How was your week?
