Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day 267

Today was a very quiet day; probably the most exciting thing I did was replace the light covers on our range hood (and, while I was at it, I put LED bulbs in to replace the incandescents without waiting for them to burn out; I think the old bulbs have been there for at least a decade, so I don’t feel too guilty about not getting every last second out of them).

And I wrote another product review – this time for the electric blanket we bought from Costco last month, which has unusual controls (they are only illuminated for a few seconds when you turn on or adjust the blanket – that’s a problem for some people, but doesn’t bother us).

Perhaps tomorrow will be more interesting.

Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day 266

I’m a member of Office Depot’s rewards program. I had a reward that was going to expire at the end of November, and didn’t really need any office supplies, but they had paper towels available, so I used my reward to buy a package.

Naturally, they wanted a review (and offered $2 in rewards for writing one), so I obliged:

They’re paper towels – and they were in stock!

What can you say about a package of paper towels? That they were the brand I prefer. And available. That they fit on my dispenser. And in my kitchen. And they’re mine.

(With apologies to Erich Segal)

I’m not sure that the review will be helpful for someone trying to decide between brands of paper towels, but that was not a requirement.
