From the Joybird furniture discussion that I think was here a few days ago. I'm currently at the scratch and dent sale in San Diego. Just got a leather Joybird swivel chair for $350. They have full sectionals for less than $1000.

I didn't run into any obvious 420 activity yesterday. But there were some hand-rolled butts of some sort outside a neighbor's apartment. And his tobacco cigarettes are usually storebought, so. No effect on me either way. I'm glad Matilda got home ok.

Oh wow, ND—somehow I missed from your post on FB that it was joybird that's awesome! I should find out if there's any similar sales/deals in Seattle. I need a new sofa bed. But then again, I also need a new lot of things—all the appliances in my house came with the house and are close to giving up the ghost. I can't decide if I should buy another part to fix my microwave (I already did one) or just buy a new microwave...but then I was looking at dishwashers...

Timelies all!

Got to Toronto last night. Exhausted, but Gary's here now, so I have a little bit of a reprieve.

Report from inside a recreational shop per CJ. They had a constant stream of business - he does security, so was checking IDs and putting folks on a list to be brought from the lobby back to the sales room, escorting people when their name is called. He was exhausted and broken when he got home after this 12 hour shift. The shop did at least 4 times their average sales.

CJ said there were WAY more out of state customers as well as obviously nooby customers. Poor punkin had to be back at work this morning at 7am after getting home around 11:30 pm last night.

Personally, I stayed away from the park where the Vote for your Lives rally was Thursday night. My only excursion yesterday was to the grocery store. So pretty peaceful in Suzi-world.

I'm glad Matilda arrived home ok, despite the time. It sounds like she was with friends. I'm glad she didn't have to navigate the detour alone.

The only noticeable 420-ing here was the local PD posting on their facebook page that if anyone out there was celebrating, to give them a call and they'd be right over. Heh.

We threw out all of our romaine. We'd already eaten more than half the package without incident though, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't contaminated.

This morning, D had to be at baseball picture day at 8am, which I think is against the Geneva convention or something. Then he had a game at 9, A had swim class at 9 and a game at noon, and then we all went down to the waterfront for our town's MASSIVE Earth Day fair, where we ate delicious food and signed petitions and had ice cream and listened to great music. And now I am tired and want a nap but I still have to do all the regular Saturday errands. BLARGH.

I just listed a recliner and an over the toilet storage shelf on FB marketplace and it looks like the storage shelf will be sold today. No bites on the recliner yet, but fingers crossed. That's two biggish things to get out of my house.

mr. flea just got home from spending the entire day helping his friend pack up to move to Las Vegas. Which is a nice thing for him to have done, but I didn't expect this to take all day. And also, I can literally not remember him working this hard for, like, his actual family. So I am resentful and bitchy.

storage thing gone. $20 to me. And while I was waiting for the pick-up, I cleaned up my garage and got a pallet hauled out to the curb for trash pick up.

Still no bites on the recliner.

So as good as I feel about making rather than spending money today and getting something out of the house and taking a step towards something else leaving, here's the downside.

I'm all anxiety'd up since a stranger was coming here and, ya know, could have been a crazy person who would kill me. So now I am anxiety crashing.

Also also, while yes I got $20, $5 of that is in coins because of course it is. This is how it goes with craiglist/fb marketplace things it seems. She starting saying "now let me see if I have the $$" as she walked up . And I thought oh great, here we go. I've had people do thing before and try to get things for cheaper. Ridiculously, I just discovered that she actually overpaid by $0.55 because she counted a Susan B Anthony as a quarter.
