Volume 17 - Day 53/312, 2025 - Saturday

While it has been so cold in the mornings, we have been walking at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, instead of 7 o'clock in the morning. Which means, I have been staying in bed until after six, which is very nice. Also, since I am no longer doing property management, there is no need for me to spend a lot of time in front of the computer when I first get up. So far, it's a win/win for me, and I think I am adjusting to the change pretty well. It was a little drizzly this morning when we left for estate sales, there were six sales, and I spent a total of $31 for stuff I really didn't know I needed. But, apparently I did need it, and now I own it. The only thing I bought at the grocery this week was milk, and so the refrigerator is kind of bare. For dinner tonight, I had the last of the cranberry-turkey salad (my new crave), and the last of a loaf of bread. My favorite bits, the heels. I put off doing laundry just as long as I could, and when this entry is finished, I will need to fold clothes. Overnight will be the coldest night for the foreseeable future, and tomorrow I will put the plants back outside in the front and the back. I think they will enjoy it. The photo accompanying this entry was taken earlier this week, when all the power was out. I had power because I have solar and battery backups. I finally got embarrassed, and turned off the outside light. No need to flaunt it, even if you got it!
