Trouble Getting New Sheets

We alternate between two sets of sheets on our beds. Momoko likes the gray sheets. But she does not care for the red ones. We decided the solution was to buy another set of the gray ones. I was sure I ordered them from Amazon. So I looked up my order, and placed a reorder of the same sheets. Even got them in the same color.

When they arrived, I realized I only purchased a set for a single XL twin bed. That is only half of our split king size bed. Therefore, I ordered another pair. Then I kept them handy until it was time to change sheets again. At the appointed time, we threw out the red sheets and put on the gray ones.

I washed the new sheets to prepare for the next time we need to change sheets. It is then that I realized that although I ordered the same sheets as last time, they were not the same. Amazon must have changed manufacturers or something. I hope these new sheets are adequate, if not different.

Leaves are Falling

Last weekend, I put out 25+ leaf bags on the curb. There have been a ton of leaves falling from the trees. This week, I have worked a couple hours each day collecting leaves. Yesterday I cleaned most of the leaves on the hill behind the fence. That worked cleaned me out of tall paper leaf bags.

Today I went to Lowes to buy some more leaf bags. I could not find them. An employee told me they ran out. Then I went to Home Depot. An employee showed me where they kept the leaf bags. The box was empty. He said they had bags. Then he came back and said somebody would bring the bags in a few minutes.

After waiting over 15 minutes, I gave up. Ordering these bags online cost too much. Therefore I decided to revert to putting my leaves in plastic bags. The leaf collection truck from the county will only pick up leaves in paper bags. I will give them the last of my bags, filled with leaves. The rest will have to go in plastic bags with the trash man.

Luckily I had black 13 gallons bags that I ordered by mistake. There are 40 bags in the box. I decided to fill these with leaves. The bags are much smaller than the paper bags the county requires. And they are harder to work with. At least I don't need to spend any more money on them.
