I had wondered if you were still doing the pocket thing under the trousers. I hope the kidney heals quickly.

Tried an inexpensive experiment today, I don't think it worked, or at least, it was a wash, no gain or loss. I had a few ugly silver jewelry pieces from my great aunt's estate and a funky little gold thing that no one would ever wear. I stopped by a little antique store and looked at her tray of used rings and found 3 little sterling rings that were equally ugly and bundled this together and stopped by a gold exchange. I didn't go to the same one as before (though in hindsight I think they were nicer) and I think I broke even on what I got for it. Not at lot, not a little. But it was an experiment. I have beautiful heavy silver pieces here that I wouldn't consider selling - they're in the category of art, and the workmanship is so lovely. I suppose those need to be put where they won't tempt a thief who might peek in a window.

My friend has made a lot of progress, and he and his current roommate are hoping to move on Monday after his roommate and another friend do some looking. Since my friend's credit is shot his roommate and friend will visit apartments (where they want to hold your ID while you look, and where they run a credit check on you) and when they find one then my friend's name will be placed on the lease. They just need a foot in the door. Foreclosure fries your credit.

Not as tired today as yesterday, I did some wrap stuff in newspaper and pack it in boxes packing for my friend, and left before it got very late. I'll putter here around the house and garden this evening. We're under heavy water restrictions now, so I have to hand water my garden because I can't set up a sprinkler until Saturday.
