Vet appt scheduled for Tuesday. Not for the long sleep, yet, but to discuss our options. She hasn’t really been eating for two days, so maybe she’s on the way out anyway…Dave is taking her, because I will probably agree to an iron lung if they offered it. Anyway.

Today I worked til 11 or so, and got to leave early for summer hours. Came home and had a nice lunch with dave, winkwink, and then instead of picking Ingrid up, as planned, I did some errands and shopping. It was nice. I exchanged some clothes she’d gotten as gifts, that, uhhh, didn’t fit, ahem, and looked at dishwashers. I then bought the most insane purchase of the day (mid90s here, just crazy hot) at the LLBean Outlet.

See, our down blanket came with us from Levant, I got it at Overstock, it was an okay deal, but at this point, all of the feathers are in one corner of the blanket and that SUCKS.  Dave was even ready to buy a new one (and is sold enough on down to bear the expense) so I told him I’d keep my eyes peeled at the outlet for a good deal. Knowing the LLB product line like I do, there’s a few levels of down comforters, and I figured I’d keep my eye out for the taj mahal of down comforters, but if by fall I hadn’t found it, I’d settle for a lesser version if necessary.

WELL. On my first pass, after digging through the bins, I found the Taj Mahal — the PermaBaffle Box Goose Down Comforter, Warmer, in king size.  Yeah, that’s right. $299 retail. But the outlet price was 179. Oh, and there was a 30% off sale in the home department. Oh, and we had $20 in rewards points from our LLB card. $111 dollars.  I feel like I stole from them. Heh.  Of course, I absolutely don’t NEED it for a few months, but still. 111 bucks! DEAL!
