FRIDAY

Put the bags of paperbacks back in the trunk for a propitious day to trade them in at the book store, the aluminum cans, too.  Also, put the box of 'interesting' teeshirts in the back seat for distribution.  Got three of my prescriptions renewed today but the fourth was declined.  So when were they going to tell me... they certainly didn't volunteer the information; I had to ask about it.  Darn, I have only one of those pills left and can't call the doctor's office now until Monday.  What a pain in the butt!

Back at home I stripped my bed and started laundry, then I started sorting out the pile of accumulated thrift store stuff in my room.  A pile for 100% cotton shirts/skirts for quilting, a pile for linen and cotton-linen, a pile of woolens, a pile of craft and mundane notions, and a pile for anything else to be re-sorted later.  This evening as I did three more loads of laundry I started cutting down the cotton pile so it can be washed, ironed and boxed up for more efficient storage until I get the sewing room set back up. 

We have a pile of Hammerhill and Willcopy paper boxes that I'll fill and label to make it easier to find stuff for actual projects when I get to that point.  And they'll make a nice, neat pile taking up less space in my room or in the sewing room when I get that far.  The label will include notes on plans for specific pieces and will be crossed off when they're pulled to be worked up.

SATURDAY

Thursday I got the window on my car fixed, or blocked into a closed position anyway.  Only sat at the mechanics five hours to get this accomplished.  When I went to pick up my prescription I learned the Insurance company indicated canceled.  Again.  Had to call FA and the insurance company to get that straightened out.  Told FA they needed to straighten out the parking lot people about charges they were erroniously being paid the last four months.  Then called Bill about transcription checks neither Leofwyna nor I have received... sixth week landed early in September so I should have rattled the bars of that cage a couple weeks ago.

Friday Leofwyna and I loaded up Mike's pickup twice with fencing, old carpeting, a chair and two pallets.  Made a good dent in the trash situation.  Another load of lump cement, more carpeting and another chair will go sometime next week... we need to do some prying and consolidating to get ready before we borrow the pickup again.  All that exercise caused me to collapse bonelessly in front of the tv for the evening; Leofwyna had enough energy to go out to scribes though. 

This afternoon Natalya and I got her signature on the baronial account at the bank.   Then  back across town to pick up those prescriptions.  I did some more job search work and broke out another batch of sample books before calling it a day.

I still need to renew the car license, write checks and make apple crisp.  Want to get preliminary 3rd quarter posting completed.  Gotta remember to call kingdom exchequer too.  Probably oughta mow the lawn again.  Wonder what time it's supposed to rain tomorrow?

The new plan for home reorganization:  Instead of renting a unit in the storage area up the block get car window fixed (done) so it doesn't have to be parked in the garage and decant all the boxes in the house into garage.  Clean and redress house then one box at a time bring in goodies and treasures, putting them in proper place or tag for rummage, and return rummage items in boxes to garage.  Continue until all boxes are reviewed.  By that time rummage will be boxed and priced ready for a spring sale, the guest room and sewing area will be ready for business, and the rest of our home will be tidy and neat.

THURSDAY

Mostly loafed through the day, sleeping in late, reading lj archives and balancing my checkbook. Found I hadn't entered a $200 check so I was lucky I hadn't bounced something. When Shelly called to say she had apples and a watermelon for us I bestirred myself to make a quick run to pick them up and stopped for mower gas too.

FRIDAY

More loafing part of the afternoon, then a run to the library to return overdue videotapes. Stopped at a couple rummage sales up the street where I found a couple cotton tablecloths to make over for shifts. Washed up the pile of dishes and got out to mow most of the yard just before dusk. It's sure nice to have mosquito season finished.

When Leofwyna got home from work she wanted to go pick up a couch she'd found at a rummage sale up the street; the same one I'd bought stuff at. It's a pretty floral tapestry covered couch that'll go well with the chair set she found last spring. Now there's an entertainment center, chair and ottoman in the garage and an extra couch in the living room that needs to get into the downstairs leisure room. Gotta get a couple of the guys over to help us switch them out for the old stuff.

Tonight we discussed the possiblity of renting a storage unit for a few months to get stuff out of the house so we can re-organize downstairs, sort for a rummage sale and not have our living areas be totally unmanageable while we do so. There may be a unit available up the block and that would be so-o-o convenient.

SATURDAY

Leofwyna and I spent a couple hours running down rummage sales for her 'glass'. I found a couple jigsaw puzzles to add to the winter entertainment stash. When we returned home we did a couple hours of yardwork taking out fenceposts, trimming low branches off the apple tree, transplanting perennials and pulling tomato plants. I think we both may have overdone as we're stiff and sore tonight.

Tonight Natalya dropped by another box of 'passports' for me to sew together for the Jubilee reign.
