Sometimes things just do not work out your way

Terry and I decided the newspapers on the upstairs bathroom windows when we arrived from FL would not do the trick so we ordered blinds that can be open at the top or bottom.  That way we can have the lower window pane covered and still have light coming in.  The blinds came and we decided that they were just a tad too narrow so we boxed them up for return.  We reordered, I did it, and they came Wednesday.   The first one I opened was broken!  Well we needed to see if all the rest were OK so I opened all of them and hung one up😕 and guess what?  They are not ones that open from either top or bottom, they only pull down from the top!  So now we have TWO sets of blinds to be returned and the third has been order!  Some days things go your way and some days they go south.
I did not get much of a bike ride in yesterday as it was rainy in the AM.  I did ride to Highland Village to get a battery for my watch.  Family got me the watch for my 50th birthday and I think this was the third battery in it.  I almost panicked a few days ago as I opened the box on my dresser where my watch is kept and it was not there.  After a few thoughts I remembered putting it in the glove box of the car a couple weeks ago.  I looked and it was not there.  After a second search it was there tucked way back in a corner.  Whew!
I did get in a little longer bike ride this morning.  I rode across the Ford bridge and rode north on the Minneapolis side up to the Marshall Ave bridge then home on the St. Paul side.  I then rode up to get a few things from the store so all in all it was 9+ miles.  A bit better than my average of 5 or so.  NOT really enough but better than most days.  
I have been kind of lazy the last couple of days so need to get in gear again. I get in the wood working mode and tend to ignore the work that needs to be done.
No more FP and no more news.
