Got up yesterday around 5 and got ready for the garage sale. There was a note from B about blah blah try to wake her blah blah. Nope. Didn't even try. She would have been of no use until the time she got there around 11. I left the house at 6:20. Stopped at the store and got donuts for everyone. Then I headed to our friend's house where they were already setting up. I could bore you with the details of a garage sale, but I think you all know how they work and the kind of people who show up first thing in the morning. One thing did drive me nuts - one of the people whose house we were doing this at, her parents also were sharing space. They had NOTHING priced and the Dad was all derp derp let me spend 20 minutes explaining why you should buy my $175 camera at a garage sale. I kept having to yell at him for prices on his stuff. Annoying. Around 11:30 B texted me and they went to pick her up and bring the rest of us food. We started slowing down around 1 and started putting things away around 2. We had already decided that whatever didn't sell was going to goodwill which meant very little came back home with us which makes me happy. We finished up around 3 and headed home with a quick stop at the pet store.
In total made about $180. Not too bad for 8 hours of work. Better than minimum wage that's for sure. Got home, relaxed for a while, checked the mail which had something exciting. I won a pin off eBay which completed a series of 26 (yes, it's an alphabet series) that I have been working on for three years. That felt good to put it on the board.
Made a hamburger helper kind of thing for dinner but used ground pork to make it a little healthier. Nice salad and made some apple muffins to finish it off. Talked with the kid, watched some TV with B, then went in the other room for a little while.
Here's irony for you - B normally takes over the TV. It's just the way it is. We now have the PS4 and was worried about taking the TV away, making her grumpy because of it, etc. It's not a big deal when she does it to me because I just come in here and have everything I need. I downloaded a game specifically for her (Ether One) and didn't know if she would like it or not. HA. She was HAPPY I was going into the other room because SHE wanted to play on the PS4. Okie dokie. I am curious about this game too if it's good enough to keep her interested.
I went to bed around 11:30 and slept well. Today I want to pack a bunch of stuff, specifically books and clothes we won't need for 2 months.
