Hi Potties. I didn't know Ginger but my heart goes out to her and her friends & loved ones. It's a sad time for all of them.
Well, for once I actually got pretty much everything done that was on my schedule. I had called my plumber yesterday & they made me an appointment for today to finally get my long-time leaking shower repaired. I'd already order & received the replacement parts that I needed. The fellows showed up on time today & were in & out in good time. I'm many dollars lighter in pocket but I have blissful silence from the bathroom for the 1st time in many weeks.
I got quite a bit done once I hit the road. I stopped at the local vet & dropped off the current Best Friends newsletter. From there I moved on to the PO & got both boxes of books on their way to FL & SC respectively. Since it was nearby, I also stopped at Great Clips & left looking much less unkept.
The next stop was Ollies - I'd hoped to get a replacement "crinkled" garden hose but they were already sold out. I did manage to get 10 blocks of suet - not the hot pepper kind I get at WM but peanut flavored.
Next stop was to pay booth rent & put out the smalls I'd been gathering. Now to sell a bunch of what's already there so I can gather up more. I also stopped at U-Haul to pay the new, slightly lower storage fee. One last stop was at WM to pick up a few odds & ends. I picked up a bag of black oil sunflower seed & it was just in time. When I refilled that feeder when I got back home, I saw the bottom of the storage bin. I also picked up a real cheap new feeder for the mixed seed since the old one is getting the worse for wear. While there I checked vacuums & saw 2 Bissells that both had the rewinding cord that I wanted. The more expensive one was a good bit cheaper than the price I saw on-line, even with having to pay sales tax. Just hope it was the same one I looked at on-line a short while back. I may go out again on Fri. & if so I may bite the bullet & use my plastic to bring the one I saw home.
I haven't done diddly squat since I got home. There was an article in the local paper roughly a month ago about a fellow who collects VHS tapes & has a huge collection It contained his email address so I may send him a quick note tonight & ask if he would be interested in Bear's many, many tapes. I don't watch movies & I'd love these to go somewhere besides the garbage. Wish me luck.
Also owe Selena Anne an email so I'll try & get that done tonight too. No plans for Thurs. other than moving the ferns outside & making a run to the old house since it will be warm again. I mostly want to gather up more trash but I may see if I can dig up at least some of the daffodils to put along the driveway over here. Hope I don't run out of steam before the end of the week - my mind thinks I can get a lot more done than my body is willing to do!Hope Gordon & Sylvia are still on dry ground. The situation in Ukraine (rightfully) monopolizes the news so not much is getting out about how dire the situation is in Australia. Wish we could have some of that rain to help out our drought stricken western states. Everybody else take care & stay safe. Later.
Susan
