Good for you, Mary! Purge while the impulse is there, and tell the cats to move along! Out of solidarity I should pack a box full of books this afternoon. I'll pass on your giveaway items. I could offer a few oddball estate items of my own - the kind that give pause: "What was she thinking?"

I sorted out my Amazon account and with my points ordered a new cartridge for the printer. They're so expensive, but I was able to get one from Amazon that is HP, not a knockoff. It's at a lower print level (2,500 instead of 5,000). That's okay, I'm trying to print less and it will still probably last over a year.

I needed to let the dogs in, so I'll also stay in, though there are a few things outside I need to do (move soaker hoses).

I bought a couple of boxes if the vinyl gloves they sell at the restaurant supply warehouse near me, and need to be sure to use them. I seem to react to the brewers yeast I put on the dog food. I'd been handling it recently, thinking last year's reaction was actually based on chocolate, but apparently they are both dermatitis triggers. The dogs love it, and I think it does help repel flies and mosquitoes.

Off to research and or pack books.
