lizziebelleI had another gift certificate for Amazon from another one of the survey places I belong to, so I treated myself to this:
(Oops, LJ decided to show that pic sideways. Oh, well!)
I loved, loved, loved this when I saw it on PBS, and I decided it was the sort of thing I could watch several times. Plus, bonus features. Plus, Benedict Cumberbatch, who has the best name in show business. (My brother calls him Bendersnatch Cummerbund *g*) It's the little things that make me happy. :D
*****
We were busy today, for the first time in weeks. A lot of folks getting ads in for tornado cleanup. I'm glad they're getting work, but the reason is not the best. I had one customer choke up today when he was telling me about his storm experience. He lives in Monson, which is one of the hardest-hit towns. His home and family are OK, but several of his neighbors lost virtually everything, including another customer of mine. Houses, trees, barns, sheds, equipment... just gone. This will be a big part of their lives for a long time to come. Thank goodness more people weren't hurt. Houses can be rebuilt.

So glad it's the weekend. It was a long week, and next week will seem even longer because my coworker will be on vacation. I may need some entertainment to get through those long days by myself!
