Periodically I've sold jeans on eBay, usually something I randomly discover at the thrift store that is in perfect condition and is a name brand, like 501 jeans. You can make a nice profit and still undersell the retail stores. It takes careful measuring to add to the listing or you're peppered with questions from prospective buyers.

The crutches were delivered yesterday and pronounced perfect. We struggled to take the heavy-duty rubber ferrules off of the pair she had been using and put them on the new-to-her crutches; I think that's how I ended up with a kink in my back last night. The microwave heat pad was deployed to good effect at bedtime.

Sounds like a cute little office Don. I know of lots of radio people who during COVID at home work recorded their pieces in closets so the garments could prevent the echo of a larger room sound.

Two friends handed me bags with canning jars yesterday so there are six pints and a jelly jar in the dishwasher that will go back into the empties later today. I give away a lot of glass each year and rely on people to occasionally stumble across a bunch of jars and think of me.

A friend in New York who sells lots of things online has found another source of income - he dug out his smut collection. Not the fungal disease on ears of corn smut, this is the Tom Lehrer usage of the word. I'll be curious to learn how he manages to sell it (when a scan to use for an ad can be just about as good as having the original).

Next month will be another no-spend month after March pretty much blew me out of the water with subscription renewals and human and pet medications and such all landing around the same time. I am still drawing down the 3/4 full freezer and I'm cooking more from scratch to reduce salt levels. My salt-free canned tomatoes will go for pasta sauce for a while. For regular activities, the gym is free to me (Silver Sneakers) and I have a good supply of self-care products and clothes that fit. Seeds for the garden instead of buying bedding plants, etc., they need to be deployed this year. I've started changing addresses so one necessary purchase is the new mailbox. I set my post office box renewal down to six months.
