shopping, etc.

I'm trying to resist the call of "cyher Monday" one-day sales. However, I pointed cattitude at a Lands End sale, since I vaguely remembered he wanted to get something from them; at 60% off he decided to get more of the better-fitting pants now rather than wait for the rest of his pants to wear out and need replacement.

I also used a code from WhatsGood, because I wanted more good apples, and I wanted to order enough that the delivery fee wouldn't be more than the price of the food. So, two quarter-peck bags of apples, a variety of seafood, two different kinds of squash, and some cucumbers, all of which will be arriving Thursday. (Waiting until Thursday means we can get fresh seafood; Tuesday or Wednesday, they'll only bring frozen and smoked fish.) This does mean three more apple-less days, in New England, in November, which feels wrong, beyond me wanting the apples.

And I ordered a set of colored pencils, in the optimistic hope that I'll use them if they're here. I hadn't much, years ago, but I expect to be staying close to home because of the pandemic for at least a few more months.

Well, you pointed me at Lands End, too, where I allowed myself a carry on that doesn't weigh what my beloved Briggs and Riley does, as well as a long-overdue rain jacket and a lightweight jacket to replace one from a women's clothing store... much beloved but zipper broke some time ago.

Grateful for the pointing! Would never have indulged at normal prices.

I'm glad that was helpful. (I consistently find the sleeves too small on their clothing these days, which is unfortunate.)

I suspect I might have the same problem but I was ordering in big men's sizing so here's hoping!

(Also couldn't figure out what size I actually need so it may all be going back to get upsized)
