If you know me you know that I don’t make purchases without first knowing from where the money will come. Ms Practicality here never carries a credit card balance. So what I’ve done, in my books, is really bad. A total act of greed and comfort. OK, so here’s the story. I was at Costco last weekend, and you know how Costco is, if you see something you want you have to scoop it up or it may not be there next time. Even if you take it home, their return policy is pretty good.The other thing you need to know is that I have some problems with back pain from a previous injury. Long story, no details necessary.
So, while I’m at Costco I see people with wonderful facial expressions and accompanying vocalizations, trying out a massage chair, appropriately dubbed the I-Joy. It’s a very basic model, ugly velour, not leather, manual recline, not electric. Even without these accoutrements, it’s seeming to do the trick. And it’s 25% less than the same one at Linen’s and Things. I was on my best behaviour and left without it.
Well, wouldn’t you know it, my back pain kicked into full gear this week. I HAD to have that I-Joy. Just couldn’t live without it. Went to Costco and there was ONE left. Was that a sign or what? So there you have it. I’m the proud owner of one and boy is it wonderful. Bryant’s first question – "Will you be able to knit in it, mom?" The best of both worlds. I’ll figure out how to pay for it later. Meanwhile, Lady E is not giving me a hard time about it:
Yarn Yenta is having a blog contest. You have to answer these questions:
1. Where is your favorite knitting spot? I thought it was the wing chair in my living room. May have to change it to the IJoy.
2. If you suddenly could never knit again (shudder) – what would you do instead? Read more.
3. If you could travel anywhere in the world – where would you go and why? Australia and New Zealand because I’ve never been and to visit old friends.
4. When you were little – What did you want to do "when you grew up?" Art teacher. Are you doing it? Nope.
5. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? Peach.
