Post-SOTU

Mike and Alex both like to switch over to Faux News afterwards, and I can't tolerate it for even a second. So while Mike is listening to the other side, I'm blogging.

Jan and I had way more fun than is possible chatting and shopping until I dropped her off at the Hotel Monaco in Denver at 4:00 yesterday afternoon. I introduced her to one of my favorite stores, Home Goods, and she liked it so much, she had the clerk check to see if there was one in KC. Alas, no, but it's a good way to get her back to Colorado Springs. We also discovered that (a) yes, I do need a wide shoe, and they're extremely comfortable and (b) there are no cute wide shoes in any of the stores we visited. Fortunately for me, there is Zappo's and their offshoot, 6 p.m., so I will be buying all my shoes online from now on. It is such a relief to have solved that issue.

It was windy again today, so I was glad that the worker assigned to our roofing issues called in sick and couldn't come. Tomorrow is supposed to be warm and less breezy, a good day for working out of doors.

I'm still sleeping in a different room than Mike, and I'm still sleeping almost sitting up, but it seems that the coughing "fits" have been reduced to only one or two during the night instead of hourly. Maybe by the end of the week, I'll be able to sleep lying down...or not.

We have a Home Goods not far from us ... next to a World Market. That's one thing on the "miss" side after we move.
