It was hot and muggy but I had nothing planned so I intended to get a few things done.

Wayfair had delivered the bedside table to match my dresser and chest but I was hoping Mark could open it and get it in place. Since he’s been ill, I checked on the weight of the stand and figured I could handle 44 pounds. I successfully opened the box and it looked ok. When I got it out of the box I found that the drawer won’t open. Obviously it has to open but maybe something is intentionally in place to stop it. I figure I’ll wait until Mark can check it out. The old bedside stand can go in my closet in place of a white plastic drawer unit. So for now the new stand is waiting to be put in place. Externally it looks fine.

Another on-line order came today, a jewelry cabinet that hangs on the back of the bedroom door. It is in a perfect location and huge. There’s a lock, places for chains, for earrings, bracelets, rings, and drawers for pendants and pins. It has led lights and a mirror on the front. Very attractive and it holds all the jewelry that I wear with room to spare. I’m glad I bought it. I had to install Command press-ons to anchor the bottom so it wouldn’t bang when I close the bedroom door. I love that I won’t have knotted chains and I can see everything to select what is best for my outfit.

Today I also bought a new San Marco bracelet.

John had bought me one many years ago and I loved it but it was lost after a Michigan Club Snowball. I looked everywhere and checked with all the lost and founds but it never turned up. So I’ve been watching for one at a good price. I found one today and bought it. I am sure I’ll love it.

So today I accomplished quite a bit but not what I’d hoped. I’d wanted to get the laundry done, and get my nightstand in place. Neither thing is accomplished. (And I really need to at least wash my Emergency Squad uniform.)

I am really pleased with the organization of my jewelry and looking forward to my new bracelet.

If Mark can’t come over this week to help me out, I think I’ll take the back off the nightstand and see what’s keeping the drawer from closing.
