This week flew by, I was busy every minute it seemed, I even canceled a dinner out with a friend cuz I was just worn out. I didn’t schedule anything for myself this weekend so I could catch my breath and get caught up a bit before a new week starts.

Fortunately, this is the last full week of items that I’m selling for a friend on ebay. There were like 50 things I’ve been selling for her and I was trying to get through them as quickly as possible so I can get back to listing my own things and start getting some of these boxes emptied and out of here. But I don’t need to push myself to list so many each week of my own things so that will give me back a little breathing room. I appreciate the extra money made but always struggle to find the right balance of making money to having time.

If you’re interested in what sort of things I’m selling on ebay, here are my current listings.

So, not really any fun pictures from this week as I just had my nose to the grindstone.

The apartment stays quite cool on its own but it was finally time to get at least one window open and this made Janey very happy.

Initial try-on of the plaid Junarose dress.

The week’s Gwynnie Bee item, blush pink super soft waterfall cardigan. Plus, my polka dot tee shirt that, disappointingly, shrunk in length after ONE washing – cold water, delicate cycle, air drying. What else can I do?? I’m not going to pay $4 to dry clean a shirt that cost $8!

Trying on a new purchase from Nordstrom. It was cute online, but a) I thought it was red, white and blue striped, which is something I’ve been wanting in a dress or a tee shirt, but it’s actually royal, pink and coral with thin silver threads and b) the fabric is very thin and lightweight which makes it catch onto body bumps vs skimming over them, so I think it’s going back.

If it gets hot hot soon I’m going to be in trouble, clothing-wise!

And ha, that’s my pants leg in the photo as I was too lazy to take my jeans all the way off to try on the dress, I just pulled them down.

It’s looking like a prehistoric jungle down by where I park my car at the apartment. I cut some ferns to bring inside. They have such an interesting scent. Very…green and alive…sort of like a vegetable.

Janey likes them, too. I keep finding them scattered all over the living room floor.

And now it’s Sunday. Mother’s Day. A day about which I have mixed feelings. I had an…erratic…relationship with my mother. So reading all these Mother’s Day posts on social media today “to the best mom ever!” “you’re the person who made me who i am today, mom, thank you,” etc., is a little…well, let’s just say those are not exactly my sentiments. I considered writing a blog post about it…I started it actually, just sort of journalling to get some things out of my head, but…I don’t know. I think I might be better served to just go lay on the sofa and read my book.

I did just get a face-time call from Katie, that was nice. I got to see Lila Cat and get a tour of her apartment…and to hear that she’s getting me a ticket to fly out to CA to spend some time with her and the boyfriend. So THAT was a wonderful surprise, indeed! We’ll have to figure out our schedules but that’s certainly something to look forward to. Happy Mother’s Day to me…

And to all of you, as well. I hope you’re all being loved and appreciated and cared for and pampered…or…left alone 🙂 Whatever you prefer.

Happy New Week, to us all.
