The long dark tea-time of the soul

Tuesday.
Not so good a night's sleep. Brain working overtime in overthinking. Little worry dolls in their bag have a lot to listen to. 
When we eventually got up I showered. Still have to have Kevs help, but I'm getting more confident in my right foot being able to grip and support me. I still revel in the luxury of a shower. That 8 days without one will be a hard period of time for me to forget. 
We went into town, I had a few bits and bobs I needed in order to make a memorydex box. I've been hanging my nose over a spinner for a while but not willing to spend that sort of cash on one. Then I saw some DIY projects on Pinterest to make a box rather than a spinner, and  Kev being the construction expert for craft projects soon worked out it could be done at a reasonable price and so we bought the components.
We went to TKMaxx as there is a few code orange items popping up in my news feed. I found some more coasters one set for us, one for a gift and a mug. 
We had Taco Tuesday as they've opened a new Taco Bell just on the outside of Vic Centre. It was very nice if you like Mexican food which we do.  Reminded us our happy times in Florida at the Mercado, after a long day at the theme parks we would always head there to eat. 
We got back and Kev put me my memorydex box together took him ten minutes if that, compared to the YouTube video which said at least 40!
We added it up, the box, dowels, and glue plus two pieces of construction board we already had cost a grand total of £1.50, compared to £40 from Heidi Swapp, and that's if you can find one... He also came up with a template for the cards, until I can get my hands on a die.
