I have an acquaintance I've been meaning to contact about jewelry repair; she works for a company that manages estate sales and deals with upkeep of old objects. She might also have a clock repair person to recommend. Good idea. And as it happens, I have a clock very much like the one you describe that came from my great aunt's house, a folding green leather alarm clock. It still works, but it hasn't been used in years.

This afternoon I used my DSW Shoe Warehouse $5 birthday coupon to pick up a good gym bag (from the clearance section) - my gym stuff was in a canvas bag from the 2016 election (it has "Hillary" in text on the front.) The canvas bag is in the laundry and my shoes and clothes are packed in the Adidas bag ready to shoved into my favorite locker at the gym. Now to motivate myself to go to the gym; I have an audiobook in the queue ready to listen to while I ride the recumbent bike or walk the treadmill.

I just checked via https://www.lwv.org/elections/vote411 to be sure I'm still registered, not purged from the local voter rolls. I'm good, and should be getting that absentee mail-in ballot any day now. I can hardly wait!
