Charmion, good thing I'd swallowed that mouthful of tea when I read your last remark, or I would be mopping up on my desktop! Dorothy, I second her remark!

I started looking at the dripping faucet and realized part of the problem is the faucet itself, so have asked my ex to stop by to help with a "few things I can't do by myself yet." I can change that washer, but what I can't do right now is get down on my hands and knees in the front yard to turn off the water to the house in the small vault next to the water meter. I have a couple of heavy pots that need moving also (with the help of a wagon, but I don't want to lift them into the wagon).

I picked out three very easy to ship items to list on eBay; a leather handbag and two good brands of shoes that I have never gotten around to wearing. Since I decided I need to just stick with size 9 shoes, the 8.5s have been pulled out of the closet. Some were donated to Goodwill, but the big name ones that are barely worn can go on eBay.
