yesterday I got overwhelmed at office supplies, for god's sake. I have 10 thousand pens and need to stop thinking about them. and the landlady has been working on the yard all day yesterday and will be back today, bringing dark clouds of toxic stress with her. she asked for a pair of scissors and damned if I could find one, when I have a dozen I am sure. (she would never finish the yard for ME she is only doing it to sell the house, damn her - we have argued and I am done and need to just let it GO)
one more day of making decisions over and over all day long and then the sale, I will be so glad when it's over.
I actually got 5 hours of sleep last night which is so much better than nothing!
sorry to hijack your thread, SB, I am too distracted to make my own just this moment. I woke up at 3, got up at 4, and then had trouble deciding if I should have decaf or "half-caff" - dither, dither - so I am currently drinking a hot cup of 1/3 caff!
We cleaned out my great-aunt's house. I try to remember that she lived through the Great Depression, but for the love of all that is holy, why did she save about 30 Reddi-Whip caps? A cousin on the other side of my family delivered her newspaper. When he went to collect, she directed him a bowl full of coins. He found a valuable gold coin and let us know that perhaps she needed some help.
Crafting. Reddi Whip caps. You would be shocked at what people craft with. Plastic spoons. Toilet paper rolls. Coffee filters. Its unbelievable.
Today, I wouldn't be surprised. This was circa 1968 and she was in her late 80's. My Mom & Dad lived with her for a while when my older sister was young and she screamed at my mom for using too much of something. If I remember the story correctly, it was whipped cream and finding the caps reminded Mom of that. She wasn't crafty, she was a mean, miserly hag. However, I did get some of her costume jewelry which was pretty.
