I have used eBay for years and I get so annoyed when they make changes to listings without my permission. I have a higher-dollar item listed and twice now they've changed it to "best offer," but my price is in the mid-range when compared to the sold listings. I am not interested in a low-ball offer, like I got this evening. So twice I've gone in to revise my listing back to "buy it now" and nothing else.

I'm starting using Michelle's 12 days of cleaning this evening (the list was under a box in the kitchen so I'm starting a day later than I planned). The first room is to dust the entire master bedroom, vacuum, wash the drapes and linens, etc. Doable.

One gift box shipped this evening so my son can make xmas cookies with his girlfriend in time for the holidays. He won't be here until probably closer to or after New Year's this year. I think they'll enjoy the process of using the cookie press, coloring the dough, adding color or sprinkles, etc. The cookie press is actually for her but I don't have her address so he'll deliver it for me. This was his suggestion when we were talking about the other cookie press I sent to a Mudcatter who lost hers in the Butte County fires (Camp Fire) this fall. The girlfriend apparently cooks and bakes (and last year he gave her a Kitchenaid stand mixer - so he is paying attention to her cooking interests.)

Using up stuff from the fridge and freezer tonight, a batch of lasagna with layers of eggplant. I don't have lasagna and I'm still avoiding gluten in general so I'm going to make it with dry pasta layers, using layers of spaghetti instead of the wide noodles. In theory it will all come out good once it's baked and look more like spaghetti.
