The bottom line was $519. But no matter how much I sell, it seems there's always just as much there! I didn't sell anything cloth, the mirror my couisin moved from the attic, the rustic hand-made table or the braided rug.

well it's $500 dollars you didn't have which is one way of looking at it... perhaps there will be another time for the other things.. (y)

You put in so much effort and it panned out. $500 profit is really great :)

That's about 10 times what I usually make on a weekend. I attribute that to people's desire to get out and do something social. They've been cooped up with COVID restrictions so long. It was like the old days when mom was alive and I helped her with her sales - big crowds and about 2/3 of shoppers bought. Plus I advertised it in as many free ways as I thought. I put up notices in the convenience store, post office, laundromat and bank, plus what I did online with FB, Craig's List and other local selling sites.

I think people don't buy cloth or upholstered items because they fear ectoparasites might be in them.
 

Nothing....

I went on an early morning walk while it was still cool. We are going to hit 93F today with humidity to match, so I will probably have to substitute a ride on my recumbent bike for another walk. I have also my normal morning chores and helped my wife get a jump on our weekly house cleaning day tomorrow.

Otherwise I will "stay home, out of the bars, and off the streets" to quote an old Master Chief that I once worked for.
 
I may not live through this visit 😂. So tired. Did some running around then met granddaughter and her family at the park where we stayed for 2 1/2 hours letting the cousins play together. The oldest great granddaughter is now 10, her sister is 5. Maia, at three, is almost as tall as the five year old. Today we plan to take Maia to the Dino park and a smaller zoo and daughter wants to do some shopping including visiting a store that is a two hour drive away.

I am so glad they are here, BUT will be ready for them to leave so I can get some rest. Husband has not participated, no surprise there. And since I am not home he has just sat on his butt and done nothing, absolutely nothing. But he has to take Bella to the vet this morning-she is getting fixed.

On my early walk this morning at 6:40,it was 65,was a bit humid but with slight breeze felt devine
I walked over to my friends,Marcia&Dave's house to feed& walk family dog,Aker,my 'buddy boy'.Marcia was having minor surgery this morning,we had pre-arranged this a week ago
When I walked into the living room,he was lying on the sofa jumped off,followed me into the kitchen where I got his breakfast.After he finished,I went to get his leash he decided to play'catch me',so I bribed him with a couple pieces of kibble.We went 2 blocks on the walk,he enjoyed sniffing the grass/flowers.When we came back,he raced to his waterbowl waited for his treat.As I was about to leave,I bent down to give him a hug,he sighed,licked my nose.I'll becoming back later this morning to take him for another walk.
I have no other plans today maybe take an afternoon walk if I feel up to it,read NYT,my book
 
Toasty day today, 91°F (33°C), clear and sunny. Tomorrow and the following days will be cooler. Will continue to purge possessions, adding to the donation box and trash can.

Well, so far today I already have my headache. My Husband is at the doctor's after having prostate surgery 2 weeks ago. When he goes to the bathroom he has been passing blood clots. My Daughter who is an RN took him. She took me to my doctor yesterday. I don't know what I would do without her help. To keep myself busy I went in FaceBook and my nephew who moved to Georgia many years ago is in surgery. His wife put it on facebook. He has been battling the covid since November. He has been in the Hospital since November. He had a double lung transplant and been on and off ventilators. I called his older brother who also lives in Georgia and he didn't even know about the surgery, because his brother's wife doesn't bother with him or his sister. Now I'll just have to wait to hear what is going on. I told my older sister that she should have taught me to be an alcoholic when we were young and then maybe we would not worry so much. She said maybe it isn't too late to start drinking now.
