The Joy of eBay

Woke up at 5 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 7 AM. This time, I got up.

Hmm. It just occurred to me that I don’t know where my carry-on bag is for the flight. I guess that I’ll look for it today, and if I don’t find it, order one. I was looking at one that matches the bag that I took to Italy, but sheesh, expensive.

Now I’m telling Zara, who is being totally manic, that she’s goofy.

Had a nice nap.

Hmm. Corded dethatchers are much cheaper than cordless. I suppose that I could run a cord from the basement. I’d need a long extension cord or maybe two cords to get to the other side of the house. Hmm, maybe I should bite the bullet and get a cordless one. I want to do fall maintenance on the lawn, and it has to happen in the next few weeks. I bought one on eBay that was missing a battery, and bought the batteries and charger from Amazon. It still was cheaper than the Greenworks one.

The cats are restless because they want food early.

I got the hanging planters for the spider plants. I guess that I’ll hang them tomorrow.

My back has been bothering me, so I put a chair in the library room and got to work. Made some good progress. Found my swim bag and ordered a lock for it. Then I’ll keep it in the car. Found my Clorox scrubber now that I ordered a new scrubber. I hope that it will make quick work of the bathrooms.

A pair of my glasses are missing. I need to order more.

I have way too many clothes and need to Marie Kondo them though.

I bought a used Hartmann carry-on bag for less than half the cost of a new one. It doesn’t match my big suitcase, but that’s okay. Have I said lately that I love eBay?

Put some items on Buy Nothing to get picked up.

Took a nap and really zonked out. The cats want to be fed. Mimi is telling me that woe is her. Zara is staring at me.

I want to post my extra Pacsafe backpack on eBay, but I need a padded mailer for it (ordered). I need one for the boots too.

I started studying Italian using the reword app. I had planned to study 20 words a day, but these words are much harder than the words that I’ve been studying. They cover more complex concepts. I’m trying to write sentences with them, but it’s hard.

Got the garbage from the library room bagged up. The upshot is two bags of garbage plus the stuff that I’m donating or selling.

Had some Avocado Ranch salad. It was quite good. Meanwhile, Mimi has been complaining, so I gave her some dry food.

I ordered a new pair of glasses from Zenni. And I got 10 percent off because I'm a student!

I'm eyeing this cabinet from Target, but it has no reviews yet. It's on sale though. I really like this one too, but it's more expensive.

"Excessive Heat Warning"

Oh great. Excessive heat warning for today though Tuesday.

Wayfair is having a “clear-out” sale. Hmm.

I have a taste for Lean Cuisine pizza, so I'm coming up with a grocery list to include it.

The exercise coach is driving me crazy. She asks me if I have time to meet, I suggest a time, and then she vanishes to reappear the next day, asking me if I have time to meet that day. Etc.

I got one of my weeding tools. We’ll see how it works.

I’m lying down to stretch out my back. At this rate, I won’t be able to go to Zumba tomorrow. Wound up oversleeping my alarm.

I decided that it was too hot to mow. The weeding tool doesn’t work well, sigh. I got some garbage out and am chilling now.

Worked more on the library. Now I’m pissed off. Remember that guy who packed up all my stuff? Well, he shoved a statue of an angel that I hand-carried from California into a bag, and it’s broken. I’ll try to glue it, but I don’t know.

Crap. The class that I'm enrolled in is on campus. I don't know that I want to do that.

I booked an assembly guy. I was about to book a handyman when I realized that I don't know where the screws for the doors went.

Someone wants my extra plastic hangers. Yay. Worked on another box (I can see the progress!) but my back hurts. I have two more bags to go to the thrift shop.

Studied Italian. My back still hurts. But I got a lot done today.

I ordered the sunburst mirror for my bedroom. I'm determined to get that room "finished".
