Basement vs. Predator

This week is another edition of the Craigslist Free Stuff Experience.  There's a reason why people have feelings of trepidation when it comes to CL ads.  People who will scoop up absolutely anything for little to no money (I do mean ANYTHING) and will go well out of their way for these things maybe aren't the most salubrious punters.

I finally got rid of a fugly-yet-functional paper shredder that was too heavy for me to scoot around when I needed to use it.  After two eager volunteers flaked on me, I found a third who came by for a porch pickup on Wednesday.  I now have a really good cross-cutting shredder that cost me $2 at the Twilight Rummage Sale.  So it goes in the world of low/no cost living.

At the last couple Twilight sales, I met two different guys that buy books.  One of them came over and bought a bunch but I still had a ton left over!  I haven't made an appointment with the last guy I talked to but he did buy a stack from me at the sale itself.  I want to make room for my comic show  preparations but there's a whole lot of stuff still in the way!

I'd forgotten what a drag the sorting process is.  But, I did make a nice, tidy selection for when Frankensteins and Comix Thing happen again next month.

I had a couple days off from work this week because I went up to Seattle to see one of my friends' art openings in a gallery there.  I had a cold but I pulled it together enough to make it work out! I'm looking forward to getting a better night's sleep tonight and getting all of my weekend tasks done starting tomorrow.  I have my DJ set to complete for Comix Thing, as well as organizing my merchandise more and making art.  So many other things besides.

Tonight also, I think I'll be cleaning out the hall closet and organizing all that nonsense.  I've been giving a lot of thought to the idea of making way for bigger, more exciting life changes by having a tidier place to exist.  The cleaner my home got, and more free of things I didn't want or need, the bigger the plans I was able to accomplish.  I do believe in magic, and household magic feeds so many things that are in and out of the home.  Go ahead and laugh, you know I'm right.
