Even with all of the robust padding in the boxes, one of the glasses in the last eBay sale broke en route. Partial refund delivered. And the next batch will have to be a separate box for each glass inside the outer box. I don't know what the post office is doing with these things to jostle them to such a degree that they break. I'll recheck the packing on any other glasses as they sell and before they ship.

This afternoon I made myself finally watch a couple of episodes of a mystery series in which I missed a few near the end of the run. I'm not good at just sitting without doing something else, so pulled out a jar of coins to count and roll, about $170 of pennies to quarters. They are now in a heavy bag to take to the bank, though as I remember from before it's difficult to just cash them in. I'll call the credit union and ask. Perhaps I can make a deposit? I am frugal enough I refuse to pour them into one of those coin counters in the grocery store that keeps about 10% of the haul. I'm out of coins and still have a few more episodes to watch, so maybe next time I'll set up in the sewing studio and work on a couple of projects. (I had thought of making $5 in coins plastic bags to hand to panhandlers at corners, along with a bottle of water, but that would probably feel like a cruel trick to them.)

The kitchen cleaning has reached a point where I can see results, so am motivated to keep going, and I'm still working on making the den worthy of visitors.
