Not today but recently...

The book What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? Stories of Ordinary People and Collective Action in Hard Times by Dana Frank.

A paint-by-numbers kit. This is delayed at Customs. Hope I get it.

The cutest little ash trays for my canna sticks.

A workbook by Michelle Obama.

A drill-by-nuumbers kit. That arrived and looks good.

I found and purchased the most amazingly perfect curtains on Amazon!!

I’ve never been so excited for curtains in my life. My windows have been wide open to the woods since I moved in. Plus they are wicked pretty!

Avocados (7), two half gallons of “fit” milk by a local creamery, limes, a big Rotisserie chicken and a small bag of Asian slaw salad. Oh, and a small bag of coffee beans roasted up on the high desert (from the Bend, Sisters area). High Desert Sunrise. ☀️ My favorite coffee.

– B&W Laser Printer
– Humidifier
– Electric Knife Sharpener
– Plastic Cutting Boards that fit perfectly on the counter in my tiny kitchen

Most of these items have been in my "save for later" cart for a while. Wasn't sure if I wanted to get them, maybe the price would decrease, could work with broken versions or do without, etc... Well, I decided now is a good time to get these items before the price jacks up from Trump's chaos.

Hopiing I'm wrong, but I expect the worst with this one.

:pursebee:

My mom was having an angsty morning so I asked her if she wanted to go thrift shopping and that perked her up.

She didn't find anything she wanted but we picked out some nice stuff for my new home.

I got a set of 10 green cloth napkins for $2
A Ruth Bader Ginsburg game
Two fantastic ceramic bowls in a pretty retro orange color.
A record of roller skating music from the 70s
and from the free bin: A cookbook with recipes from the 1930s. I love reading those recipes.

A step ladder.
A butternut squash.
Grapes.
Cilantro.

A new couch.

I was going to suffice with something from marketplace… but I couldn’t get anyone to deliver to me up on the mountain.

There’s also the issue of smells and stains of used goods.

Not saying I’m a germaphobe….. but…. Yeah

I am with you on that. There's something to be said about a couch that doesn't have a questionable history.

You've got that right. You never know when J.D. Vance has been on it.

A pack with seven pairs of reading glasses. Usually I keep a pair in each room, but I have lost some and broken some until finally I am down to one pair that I carry from room to room. It will be great to have extras again.

Before we got inundated with tornado warnings, hurricane type winds and a fuckton of rain (right after last week’s snow storm :|), my brake lights (stop lamps, in the tail light sector of my car) decided to stop working, so today, for a small price, I took my car to the mechanic and they got it all sorted out (fixed). My car has more secrets than ever. The previous owners from California rolled this car, then fixed it up as if nothing like that ever happened, yet each year that goes by, I have to fix whatever really happened to this car.

My car is super cute, gets fabulous gas mileage (I only burn about $10 worth of Premium gas each week), but my car is full of secrets. But my mechanic is a fantastic detective. He shows me all its secrets each time it needs my mechanic to fix whatever goes haywire.

$28 bucks for bulbs and time to chase down another “secret.” :eyebat:

Inexpensive, colorful tea towels to roll up dog treats in and tie in knots for the dog to play with

1) A Chala vegan crossbody handbag with a new wallet with RFID (protective lining to keep your debit/credit card credentials from being stolen by bad actors). Link: https://www.chalahandbags.com/

2) a pair of new shoes (https://hike-footwear.com/)

3) a manicure with a chromed polish shade in pale pink (chromed donut)

I bought a couple of new sweaters for my foster dog and a new toy and a new collar. His mom was supposed to come get him today but she was a no-show so... figuring out next steps.
