To Do List

Posted byDinkyPosted inantiques, UncategorizedTags:, , , , , , , ,
Welcome

I have a big day planned. I decided to bring you guys along with me so you can enjoy my world. I am a list maker. I have ADHD (diagnosed at the age of 40) and I do not accomplish much unless I work from a list. I thought if I bring you guys along I will get more done. Let’s see if it works.

Let me start by making a list of items I would like to accomplish today.

  1. Go to bank and get some spending money. Done
  2. Hit us some estate sales and get some interesting stuff. Done
  3. Go to the antique store that I have a booth at and see if anything has sold. Take a picture and see if I need to make some updates to market product more efficiently. Done
  4. Get myself some lunch at the Long John Silvers. I have a credit card reward and also a credit card 10 % off that I will be using. Lunch will be free for me today. I am very frugal. Done
  5. Food prep for the next week. I have much in my pantry and freezer that I can work with. Done
  6. Make something chocolate. I LOVE CHOCOLATE. Done
  7. Go to the Dollar Store and get some Dr. Peppers. I love Dr. Peppers and I love snacks. They have both. Done
  8. Clear out the toy room so I can get my new husband moved in. We are both antique collectors and his hoard and my hoard need to be toned down to fit in one house. LOL.
  9. Rest and watch some Netflix.
  10. Go to bed by 7:30. It’s a big day tomorrow in the daily work world. I have a day job.

I need to get a load of clothes started in the washer before I go out. I use homemade laundry detergent and I like it very much. It is not harsh on my skin.

Laundry room

I need to redo the laundry room wall. It is getting a bit crowded. I will put the discards into a pile for garage sale.

My ride
Trash dumpster

Here I go hopping in my truck to go on my journey. The back bed is full of trash that I did not take to the curb last night. I have a dumpster that I put everything in. It is a little pricey but I invite my daughter and the neighbor across the street to use it with me. I hate taking out the trash.

I just got a call from Poppy (husband). He is still at his old house. He is at the nail saloon get his toes done. I talked him into doing this and now he loves it. Funny.

Getting myself some cash at the ATM.
Huge Sale

I saw a sign for a Huge Sale. I went on a side tour. ADHD kicked in. I found three sets of instruction books for painting and cross stitch. I am learning that these sell well on E Bay and they do no get torn up in the mail. I don’t make a lot but dollars do add up. I bought the whole batch for $30.

My haul $5 Coffee plate, bath bomb molds, alcohol wipes and Christmas mugs for gifts.

I pulled up to the huge sale on the roadside, and they had a table set up. Everything was $1. Wow. I can make some bath-bombs from the star molds and put them in the Christmas mugs for friends and co-workers. I have a coffee cart at my home and will be putting the decorative coffee plate in that area of my kitchen. I like using alcohol wipes in my housework. That was a good little haul. I also got some craft books that I might sell on Ebay. Total spent $35.

Pulling up to the Antique Mall
Front of the Antique Mall
My booth

I sold a Pillsbury Doughboy Giggling bank for $27.

I hit up an estate sale  and spent $7. I got a carafe, a square bowl, a hoodie, a blouse, and a pink necklace earring set. It was 75% off day.
Long John Silvers
10% cashback

I found about $50 rewards on my bank card + 10% cashback, so today I got paid about $2 to eat this meal.

10  cent off per gallon

The Chevron app gave me 10 . off per gallon. Still cost me about $40 to fill up

28.16

I spent $28.16 on Dr Pepper chips and snacks from my bank rewards. That’s how to do it.

The neatest find of the day is a home ec book from 1937.

study hard

I had brewed up some tea and  canned it in a hot water bath. It was concentrated. I added water and ice and it is delicious. Fresh as the day I made it.

New carafe and canned tea
I got this free at the paller Liquidation store.
time to cook it up

Got the something chocolate off my list. I am going to cheat on the food prep. I found frozen chicken gnoche soup and ragu noodles in the freezer. They are cooking now.

To finish off my day I put a pain patch on my knee and am going to elevate my feet while I watch Netflix. Tomorrow, I will work on cleaning that room. Ugh

Peace out.
