It's Clean Sheet Day here at the Uebbing house. I don't actually hang my sheets out on a line to dry (but I have thought about it). They just get stuffed into the dryer like all the other clothes.I do have the windows open. It's finally sunny. In fact, it's gorgeous out. I've already taken a walk with a new friend, Kerri. We walked four miles! I've had two breakfasts (yogurt before I left and poached eggs when I got home), my list is made and I know what I need to get done today, before Bill gets home.
I'm hoping to have time to watch "Singin' In The Rain" because I didn't watch it last night. I had the Cubs game on instead. Which was fine, because I don't mind talking during a movie I've seen plenty of times, but I'm in the mood to watch this movie. And Heather E. and I were too busy talking, so baseball in the background was fine. I'm hoping to get the lawn mowed sooner rather than later. The part that's shaded by the house is still wet, so I'm giving it time to dry out before I try mowing it. I have a few errands to run (a few things Bill requested; bourbon, a cigar and one of his prescriptions... that's a different blog) and then hopefully the grass will be mostly dry. I already told Bill I'm not mowing the backyard because Atticus has discovered a taste for birds and there is currently one in the backyard. Until it gets moved, I'm not mowing. Sorry. I don't do dead animals. In fact, check out this post from when I found our poor Felix (oops, I read it and still got a little teary, but what I failed to blog about was how I had to go get Nancy because Bill was in Detroit. She came over and wrapped him up and carried him to the garage, where I had to keep him until Bill got home later that week and we buried him).
Okay, well that took a different direction than I had planned. Back to clean sheet day. It's such a great feeling to climb into bed, into those crisp sheets, (crisp? does that really describe the sheets? Hmm, maybe a better word is "fresh"? They're really not very crispy...) it's just so delightful. I'm sure Bill will appreciate it a lot. Since he's been sleeping in a hot school room with several teenage boys, on an air mattress. Yes, I think this is a good clean sheet day.
My friend David irons his sheets every single day. He loves the first 20 minutes of being in bed and being on freshly ironed sheets. That's a bit much for me, personally, but I agree that clean sheet day is the best day!
ReplyDeletei would say crisp is right. when you shake them out to fold or get them neat and they do that "snap!"...to me that sounds cripsy :o)
ReplyDelete@ Kelly: I didn't mention it, but I iron my duvet and pillow shams. ;) I love it too, there's something to be said for ironed sheets.
ReplyDelete@ Kerri: okay, I'll stick with crisp. I'll just keep thinking of my rice cakes compared to my bedding ;) lol
