Dorothy, trying to avoid vertigo and stacking firewood don't seem to be compatible activities. Maybe the neighbors across the street can help with that also when you ask about someone to help clean.

Charmion, I will perform a similar escort to and from a surgery event for a friend in the first full week of November. I did this about three months ago (she needs a surgery on each arm) and will be better prepared for how to help her out, knowing what to expect. (I'll pick up a rotisserie chicken at Costco instead of paying a small fortune for tiny birds at Tom Thumb, like I did last time. Having food ready-to-eat when you're recovering is a nice touch.)

Dishwasher has run its course and the glasses are cool. Time to find the packing materials and decide which boxes to use. I'll list them tomorrow, and it will be two or three new listings instead of one. When I do it this way if someone wants more glasses at a time they can indicate they want combined shipping; it means I have to repack, but usually ends up costing them a bit less in the end. (Just so they don't buy all three - then I'm back to the original problem of safely packing that many glasses in a large box.)

More sewing this evening to modify a couple of more shirts for the dogs. Pepper can test another one tomorrow, and then she's finished with canine couture for now. There is at least one more of the previous shirts that needs to be tossed (just as well because when they're dropped in the trash can the shirts block the smell of the wrapper from the lamb I cut up yesterday). Trash day tomorrow so I need to go out in the morning to cut more sunflower limbs to add to the trash can full of lamb drippings and dog shirts.

The beer glasses are out of the dishwasher and look good.
