Bought a soda refill at the convenience store.
Here is why ( my MIL and FIL are suppose to be coming for a visit last visit was 4 years ago (but was mainly lunch out it was only a hour long and while the children were in school) and 6 years ago for a longer than a hour visit and were able to visit with the kids (Little Miss had just turned 5)
Anyway
When you head into bathroom with cleaning rags and spray the dust bunnies and grim laugh at you.
When they see you also brought up the broom, dust thingy, mop, and the hand vac, the dust bunnies run and hide in the back corners and the grim tries to camouflage itself.
But when they she the Glass of soda with the long straw ( for hands free sipping), they know you are in for the long haul and they tremble in fear because they know the camouflage will not work and the darkest corners will not hide them."Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS

Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

Not a eat out day
Made stew in the crockpot. I have made it twice now. It must be a favorite of hubby's as both times he laid a had on my shoulder made eye eye contact and said "Thank you for making me stew" Who knew he liked thick stew so much?
