I'm pretty good with our list these days because we go to Mom's so much. So it's just a matter of the stuff I don't bring to her house.
I posted the pile of books I'm probably bringing on Twitter.

Good luck! I'm focusing on divesting myself of as much as I can ("do I really want to bright this into a nice new uncluttered space") but it's going to be a challenge as things get closer.

Brenda I already had a garage sale scheduled with a friend for 8/24. I am now adding 4 pieces of furniture, 50% of my books, and a pile of linens.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S is napping, which is not typical of him these days. Hopefully, he was just tired.

Ugh. Been on hold for my cable company for 50 minutes. Now I'm in a sunk cost fallacy of I don't want to hang up because damnit I've been on hold this long...

Yaaas! Posting that made them pick up. They "can't" offer me the new customer offer, but when I mentioned I also have Comcast available now (I didn't used to) they suddenly could offer [new customer plus $5], and since Comcast would involve an installation fee...sure. I can do that. Saves me $25 a month. Why didn't I call months ago?

yay savings! go you!
My desire to buy things is losing to my desire to save money. I DID buy something I can use at new house, but really need for here in the next week - but I bought it used.
Other thing I wanted to buy I contacted my mother to see if she had material I could use to make my own - AND SHE DOES! So that is double helpful, no money spent and helping her decrease the amount of fabric (she has a whole sewing room bigger than my bedroom and will also be moving - wayyyyyy downsizing - in the next year).

Argh. And since I called, I have not had internet. (I left the house for a few hours, but it's still out now that I'm home). So now I'm back on hold...for 40 minutes so far...
