I got new boots...

...but Beloved Hubby thinks I'm more enamored of the box ! It's not true, but I went a bit out of our way to get a better lid for the box mine were in. I like shoeboxes. I can always find something to do with them. Especially if they have a good lid ! Last time I recycled the house cardboard, I found three great shoeboxes in the bins, within my reach ! They're stacked up in the doll/sewing Lab, awaiting further instructions.

Hubby insisted on getting them when my eyes lit on the beautiful emerald green color. They're from Mal-Wart, purchased during the weekly grocery run. Really, they're like knee-high slippers. Not a lot of inside support, but they're comfy as anything. And soooo warm ! Normally, I do groceries on my own, but roads were icy, and he was home and a bit bored. And just as normally, I would have put off any purchases for me. I mean, that Wii Pinball game was calling me, too - and I put that back on the shelves easily, maybe later.

But just as I have a food bugaboo - I can't stand the idea of anyone being hungry - Beloved has a cold bugaboo. He can't stand anyone being cold. And I'm sure to be nice and warm with these ! I know I should have gotten 'goes with everything' black... yet sometimes, it's just better to express your color than go with everything. I'm sure Dearest Son's busdriver will agree !

Egg salad sandwich for Beloved for lunch, angel hair pasta in beef broth for me. We'd just bought fresh bread and mayo, so why not ? And the hot broth always feels good to me.

Oh, and I discovered something useful today on weather.com. Underneath the high temp forecast, there's a 'Cold and Flu Forecast' window. In addition to sunrise/sunset times and weather watch (humidity, windspeed), there's a Respiratory Index. It's a quick sample of humidity, wind, temperature, and other factors that can influence how hard or easy it is to breathe. It then assigns a number between 1(hard) to 10(easy) for reference. Since I have asthma and heart disease, this is a great tool to have ! Today is '5', which is 'fair', pretty accurate.

I'm not sure how to find this - looking around I've only found a US-wide map of the same information. But it was there after I typed in our zip code, so I hope it comes up for you !

Well, it's bus-waiting time. Hope you have a sweet evening !
