The guy promised me my bed today. Today, I talked to him and he guaranteed I would get it sometime this weekend. I am annoyed.
After I went to my graduation from therapy, I hit the sale across the street. I bought a curio cabinet for $35. It is small, about 7 feet by 20 inches wide, lights 5 or 6 shelves, mirrored back, glass shelves--the usual. It is sitting right next to front door, blocking Tommy getting to his chair. He is not happy. I am trying to get mower to move things around in the house. He is not answering his phone. Just now, half the pieces of glass clattered to the bottom, breaking most of it....grrr!
I also got an old walker that I intend to keep outdoors, about 50 books in tote bag, green square saucer. Plus, there was a plastic box of least $200.00 worth of cards with envelopes and gift bags. The cards are for many occasions. I won't need to buy Christmas cards for many years. Most of the gift bags are new and all sizes, especially smaller. There is beautiful tissue in Christmas designs. I found magnetic clips that are Christmas clothes pins to place on refrigerator where you can clip pictures, cards or whatever.
Tommy managed to spill the whole thing in the hall. He picked up enough to come back down the hall. I told him to do so. Now, I am picking them up a handful at a time. He cannot bend so far, so he would have to pick them up with a reacher.
I spent a total of $60 today.
I was being driven crazy by telemarketers. Finally, when one would ask for me, I said, "she is dead.?"
IT WORKED. Now, I will probably have to fight tooth and nail to prove I am not dead.
Sounds like you got some good stuff from your neighbors yard sale. That is too bad about the curio cabinet. Yes, a reacher/grabber will help pick up those cards. They make such a great tool and have so many uses.
ReplyDeletebelinda,
DeleteThe problem is that he might wrinkle or soil the cards, so I am doing it a little at a time. We have a reacher in every room, two in one room and one in the car.
You won't have to fight anyone to prove you are alive, LOL. Telemarketers don't report to any government agencies. As long as they leave you alone, keep doing what works. I just use my answering machine to screen calls.
ReplyDeleteThe cards sound like a great deal. The curio cabinet, not so much--since the glass shelves got broken. Who bumped it and made them fall down?
Sue,
Deletei was sitting still, not moving a muscle. Tommy had been in the kitchen for ten minutes. We had no earthquake or traffic. Who knows what happened. It was just like the guy placed it.
