Black Friday

Got up a little after 7 and am having breakfast before heading out for a bit of shopping. Did skip the shower to stay with tradition , though Dad couldn't do it. He will be clean and I will be...oh, well.

We did the Black Friday thing proud - found quite a few things to further the Christmas shopping as well as a couple of use-soon items. One is a 2" Memory Foam mattress topper for your bed in hopes that it will help your back when you're here for Christmas (and any other visits). The sample piece seemed to have some firmness and softness together, so hopefully you'll notice the difference. The other (surprising) purchase was investing in a pre-lit (only 800 lights, sigh!) artificial tree to eliminate the multi-day ordeal of assembling the other tree and stringing 1200 lights. The new tree has colored lights so that will be different, too. I'm really appreciating that I won't need to spend the rest of the weekend destroying my hands and getting really bitchy.
