Saturday, 25 March, Tucson.

I had a good sneeze during the evening and spent the rest of the time plugged up.  When I talked to Rob on the phone I told him I felt like maybe I was coming down with a cold.  My face is throbbing, my head is pounding, I'm plugged up.  Great!!
I woke up feeling the same way.  Definitely coming down with a cold.  
I took Bella out and then came back and got all caught up on the blog.  Barbara called during the midst of it and was excited to tell me that Mom had had a good time on the trip and that she (Barbara) had finally sold the lot at River Island.  Great news!  She has been having to pay HOA dues and property taxes on that vacant lot for many years.  What a relief for her to finally have it gone.  We chatted for a while which was nice.  
I finished up my blog.  Mom called while I was on the phone with Barbara, so my plan for the rest of the day is to call Mom, finish the deep cleaning of the sills, windows, bathroom and bedroom, hopefully to include going through all my clothes again in the closet and shelves and get rid of things.  And then to go to the Commissary for groceries and perhaps pick up another movie.  Oh, and to also get some cold medicine.
Well, congratulations to me!  I accomplished all my goals.  Well, all except for one.  I sprayed down the shower with Dow cleaner, but will come back later to wash it down.
The place looks sooooo much better and smells fresh when I first walk in.  
I did go to the commissary and I went to two red boxes.  I tried to return the movie to the box I had originally gotten it from, but the machine wasn't working. It was right by the Commissary, so I did my grocery shopping and hit the other machine on the way home.  I ended up getting two movies.  
One was a movie Mom has been telling me about with Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant where she is a bit past her prime but wants to sing opera.  He is her loving husband who encourages her and protects her at the same time.  It was very sweet.  The second was Allied with Brad Pitt and another lovely lady.  They met as spies, fell in love, got married, had a child, and then the Canadian Air Force suspected her of being a German Spy.  It was really good.  I had wanted to see it for a long time.
Backing up a bit.
When I got back from the Commissary and put everything away it was time for the news, so I thought I would watch it before settling into the movies.  Unfortunately, somehow I lost the remote for the TV.  I have hunted everywhere and cannot find it.  It is making me crazy.  It is not in the trash or in the couch or behind or under the couch.  It is not in the recycle or in with the clothes I am giving away.  I cannot find it.  I had to do everything manually with the buttons behind the TV.  I cannot believe it.
Anyway, my cold is kicking my butt so it was nice to have the two movies so I could just snuggle up with Bella and watch.
I was rewarded as the sun was setting with a beautiful sunset.

I texted good night to Rob and went to bed.
