success!

I swam eight lengths. I was up to twelve two months ago, but I've had the flu and lots of fibro problems since then, so I consider eight an incredible accomplishment. :)

We hit WalMart for a 50 gallon rubbermaid bin to store the tree in... And we looked at Better Living Furniture to see if they had a loft bed (no, only bunk/loft sets). We also stopped at Radio Shack to price AAA Ni-MH rechargeables ($20/4pk--I have a recharger already) and at Best Buy to see if they had the new Belkin Wireless Transmitter (goes across the standard FM band, rather than just in the 88.1-88.7 range). They had no iPod accessories other than a couple headphone splitters.

I'm not sure boy remembered to keep the Best Buy receipts for the transmitter. For some reason, he doesn't think about those things--I keep such receipts as long as possible for warranty reasons. I'm not completely happy with the wireless transmitter we have and think that a broader range or even a different brand might be preferable. If he didn't keep the receipt, I guess we'll be stuck with what we have. :/

Stopped at IY for soap and cheese, left with teabags and cheese. Need to see if Organic Soaps & Balms is still around--IY only had one bar left and it was a little one.

We're home. I need to eat again. I made chili earlier and added rice noodles. I'll add some cheese and top it with crushed tortilla chips and bake it for a bit.

If anyone with a car is free tomorrow and would like to go to Lowe's--let me know. I'm not sure I'll be able to drive or not. Depends on how I sleep tonight.
