Monday all over

Had one of those days where so much stupid stuff went wrong. Had a doctor's appointment which ended up having to be rescheduled because the scheduling person screwed up (and bonus, I thought it was wrong at the time but didn't say anything because I thought the scheduling person knew what they were doing, so it's partly my fault), forgot the errand I meant to do on that side of town, the crispy rolls I was making for lunch rolled off the baking tray and fell on the bottom of the oven, etc etc.

Also we've been re-doing our guest room (the room I painted dark blue) and in the course of replacing the double bed with a day bed with a trundle I lost a mattress pad. Like I have no idea where it went. It's not in the closet, it's not in the Good Will pile. One minute it was draped over a chair, the next it had apparated off to have its own adventures. Maybe it will come back some day, like a sock lost in the dryer. But the room is almost done, and means with the day bed and trundle, plus our two blow-up mattresses, the house can sleep 4-5 people comfortably. (It can sleep a lot more uncomfortably.) Since climate change is just going to get worse, and our town is a big evacuation center for hurricanes, it makes me feel a little better to be prepared when/if our friends need a place to stay.

Also, after a very mild winter, the temperature has dropped to the high 20s and my arthritis (rheumatoid and osteo) really does not like cold weather.
