Even though I thinned out a lot of my sewing studio it built back up during COVID and after. Today I tried to sign up to donate stuff only to find that the project is moving to a new building and will be closed until April. The good news is that it's a building I'm very familiar with and it's much closer and easier to get to.

A sale on eBay this afternoon was for a sump pump that ran on my AC until the new unit was put in three years ago. The guy who bought it is replacing a pump at his house that failed; I sold it as-is but it was working fine. Thing is, I don't have any extra parts but I did find spec sheets and instructions when researching it so I emailed those to him now. When the box arrives on (fingers crossed) Friday or Saturday he'll hopefully have any adapters or parts to use to connect this pump to that system (and he may have stuff in place already that will work fine if he's replacing an identical model.) The post office may not deliver again in the morning (to pick up the box) but by afternoon I should be able to drive the short distance from the driveway to the larger road on the other side of the bridge, where it should be clear. The post office is a mile away.

The washer is still acting up. I've found that sometimes when I run a shorter cycle and without the extra rinse it finishes ok, but tonight it gave the code again so I got photos and a short video and will have to call a repair person soon. I'll scan back up the thread for MaJoC's remarks about what the problem might be to also share with the tech. (He sent "* Briefly: Too much current, and it gets hot and goes nearly open-circuit. Remove the mains to let it cool down again, and service is restored. End of blethers.)

A long video call this evening answered a lot of questions to do with the new website and got me in with a working email (it wasn't allowing a certification of our email address.) Big improvement.

Finally, I pampered myself today. I was tired of the cold weather gear I'd been wearing most of the weekend, so ran the ceiling heater and turned the bathroom toasty before taking a shower and then changed the bed linens and put my stack of books back on the bed (and I'm headed there in a few minutes to read.)
