Good:
The yardsale was a success!! I made $40 and got rid of some stuff. Not bad, considering I made a pretty half-assed attempt to prepare for said yardsale. It rained briefly, but we were under a couple big trees and stayed pretty dry. I was more worried about losing customers due to weather than anything!
Also, I bought a planter from H. to put out on the back steps. This is something I’ve been thinking about doing, and since she was ready to sell hers with dirt included, I couldn’t pass it up. Now I am trying to decide what to plant and where to buy it. A couple people have pointed out to me at this point in the year I probably will need to plant a plant, and not seeds. And I want something edible. It’s going on the back steps, so pretty flowers wouldn’t really serve much of a purpose. I’m thinking about peppers. Where can I get peppers to plant in the city? Anyone?
Last night E. and I went to the Davis Street Fishmarket–my treat for him since he took me to the ER last weekend. It turned out we happened to be there on $19.99 lobster night. As in, a whole Maine lobster for $19.99. Most of the other dinners were close in price if not more, so lobster all around made the most sense. Yay!
Yesterday E. and I did a whole lot of nothing, and Saturday night we went out with some new friends of his. All of which was really enjoyable. I hit an early bedtime Saturday b/c I was not feeling well in the later part of the evening. I still have to pace myself pretty carefully. But overall it was a tremendously enjoyable weekend!
Bad:
RIP George Carlin. Man, I can’t believe that.
Clusterfook’s situation. E. and I were having a conversation about how irritated I’m getting with people asking for favors and/or money on their blogs, but this is one situation where I would step up and do what I could to help someone out. And try to raise awareness of her condition. I mean geez, a rare form of cancer is a lot different from…well, I don’t want to get into specifics but it’s different from some of the other things people ask for help with on the web these days.
