..and how MUCH *can* I SQUEEZE into The NEW CAR..?

OR, CRAM ONTO A *SINGLE* 6-FOOT TABLE!!?

WHATEVER, IT takes about a half Hour to LOAD the First Time and a FULL One to set-up "SHOP"! -- And, as usual, I was FIRST One THERE and *LAST* One OUT!

However, that little FOLDING-FLAT-BED-DOLLY that I'd bought Earlier in the Year, has more than PAID for ITSELF! - Originally, I had thought that I would likely have to make at least THREE-Trips to and from The-NEW-CAR..? - BUT, I actually managed to get IT down to just TWO!! - yay!

ANYHOO, I'm pretty much *WASTED* right Now! - Especially, after having to also PUT OUT the TRASH!

Sooo... HERE are some TABLE PICS to gawk at WHILE I "RECOVER"! -- SEE *if* You can SPOT the NEWER THINGS that I have **YET** to "POST"! - There are MANY!

whatever... MORE "DETAILS", Tomorrow...

 

And, THESE were the *ONLY* ITEMS that I SOLD!!
- All in literally the *LAST* 15-Minutes!!

*ONLY* FIVE of These CHESTS will "FIT" into The-NEW-CAR!
argh!
And, with *enough* EFFORT, Those Hanging BLANKETS
*will* SQUEEZE into Those TWO CHESTS!!

BTW, Checkout Them PUMPKINS *hard* at Work!!
And, not a single Complaint!

- [Of course, the fact that They don't have "FACES" could be the Reason "why"..?]

MOA SCARVES and TOQUES!
Just WAITING to be "ADOPTED"!

****************************************************************

ugh. - I need to get some *STUFF* DONE around here...

THE-ELDERLY-PARENTAL-UNITS ARE *OUT* OF THE HOUSE

 -- FOR A "LITTLE" WHILE...

yay!

So. IT's just a tad WARMER Today. And, with NO need to SHOVEL! -- woohoo!

Although... There *might* be some WET SNOW. *Later*. Maybe..? -- We'll see...

HOWEVER, in the Meantime, there's LAUNDRY to be done. And, THESE WASHCLOTHS to Add to THE PILE!

**************************************************************

a SUNNY, *NO*-SNOW, NO-SHOVELLING Saturday..?!!

SCAR-Y!!

So, of course, that means "SHOP-FARI"! -- At least, THAT was MOTHER's "PLAN-DU-JOUR"..? - Personally, I would've *preferred* to have STAYED "HOME"... And to perhaps, actually GET a Few Things DONE..?!

yeah... A couple of NEURONS were WASTED on *that* THOUGHT!

whatever...

SOON, We were OFF to CANADIAN TIRE to "acquire" some *FREE* CANADIAN-TIRE-"OLYMPIC"-STICKPINS. -- HER Idea, not Mine! -- I was more CONCERNED about the POTHOLES that are the NORM along the Road to *get* There!

We didn't STAY for long, as MICHAEL'S was Our NEXT STOP - where, MOTHER likes to "Take-Her-Sweet-TIME"!

I just picked up MORE "STUFF" for SISTER's upcoming PARTIES that She's Hosting. -- She likes doing up little "GIFT BAGS" for Her GUESTS. And, Her Local-MICHAEL'S doesn't always carry the SAME-STUFF as THIS ONE. -- So, whenever I can get THINGS "ON-SALE" for Her, I do...

MEANWHILE, I just used My COUPONS on some Balls of WHITE-ish YARN - as, I have "Something" in Mind to use IT on, so I "Stocked-Up" - a little...

Anyhoo, EVENTUALLY, I dragged MOTHER *out* in order to get some *actual* GROCERY-GETTING DONE before the Stores "CLOSED"!

And, the Remainder of My Evening was spent on doing up *more* WASHCLOTHS for SISTER, as well as for My "INVENTORY"...

*************************************************************

Except for the BLOOG-TWEAKING, I really *DIDN'T* get Much "DONE" Today...

...DID I..?!

oh! LOOK! -- THE SUN is "OUT", again!!

ow! *FEEL*! -- IT's FRAKKING-FREEZING, too!!


Needless to say, I stayed-IN! - Besides, I've got "STUFF" to DO... Although, NOT, that I "actually" DID *ANY* of IT! -- And, THIS "BLOOG"-STUFF DOES take *more* Time to do than I'd Like...

seriously.

"RECORDING" the *BOREDOM*-that-is-My-NON-"LIFE", is *not* as EASY as IT "Reads"!! -- Because, IF IT did, You'd be Skimming over THIS *on* the "29th" and NOT, on WHATEVER-*actual*-Date that I got around to "POSTING" IT!!

HOPEFULLY, the POSTING-"GAP" hasn't widened too much..?! -- But, HERE... Stare at THESE for a bit to make Your "VISIT" worthwhile! -- I'm trying to Build My INVENTORY back up WHENever I can!!

******************************************************************

Building a *New* "PILE"!

THESE ARE TAKING LONGER TO MAKE THAN I HAD HOPED...

Going to HAVE TO Start on Those "CUSTOM"-Request ITEMS Tomorrow... Hope I can get THEM *Done* IN Time! -- Between ALL of the OTHER STUFF "Scheduled" for the Coming Week...

*******************************************************************

"SCARY" WEATHER...

THAT WOULD HAVE BEFITTED LAST FRIDAY FAR BETTER, I'M SURE!

The *USUAL* MENACING-METEOROLOGICAL CATALYSTS -

• "PAPER"-RECYCLING Pick-Up Day - [that alone is more than enough!]
• I had a PHYSIO Appointment - [ANYthing "MEDICAL" will increase "probabilities" to 85%]
• MOTHER hung-up some LAUNDRY - [Bonus *DISASTER* Points]

TODAY's *RESULTING* CONDITIONS -

• Moderate TEMPS - [IT's been COOLish for a Week]
• A Light BREEZE - [with a bit of a NIP...]
• The Faint WISP of the ODD High-Altitude CLOUD
• **SUNNY** BLUE SKIES??!! - [what the..??!]

AS I Said... **SCARY**!!

The LATEST BUNCH...

*****************************************************************

ah-HA! -- So THAT's "Who" SHE got IT from!!

"FATHER"!!

And, "SHE", is My SISTER... As "IT", is Her *neverending* Penchant for **LOSING** KEYS, GLASSES, WATCHES... etcetera...

However, Today, it was FATHER Who chose to reveal *HIS* own Unique Skills for CRYPTIC-*RE*LOCATION This Afternoon, *just* BEFORE He and MOTHER were about to go OUT...

Apparently, His KEYS had gone M.I.A.! -- Usually, He just FORGETS Them in a LOCK, or the CAR-IGNITION... But, NOT the Case - THIS TIME! -- We BOTH Checked! - I even checked the BACKYARD! - [a Place that I *RARELY* venture "into" except during the Winter!] - WAY Out *BACK*!!

Anyhoo, They were *EVENTUALLY* Found! - IN a "Forgotten" JACKET that He had worn Yesterday...

WHEW!! - I was Afraid that I'd have to Lend Him MY KEYS!

THREE MORE...

******************************************************************

YAY! - IT *DIDN'T* RAIN!!

well... AT LEAST NOT "WHEN" *I* WAS OUT!

Although, I was Told there had been SOME Early-Morning RAIN... *AFTER* I had gone to Bed.
- Otherwise, IT remained somewhat OVERCAST *all* Day... And, is Rumoured to be FOGGY at the Moment..? - [I'm not near a Window to See.]

whatever... I'm just *GRATEFUL* My WALK to THERAPY and Later, to Buy My NEW DVDs, was UNencumbered by ANY PESKY-PRECIPITATION!!

I only managed to get THREE WASHCLOTHS finished as I was TOO busy "WATCHING" My PURCHASES!

**************************************************************

MAKE "NOTE" -- "The *SUN*" was actually **OUT**....

BEFORE - *DURING* - and AFTER MY "MEDICAL" APPOINTMENT!!

...yeah...okay... so there were a "few" SUSPICIOUS CLOUDS afterward... But, MOTHER put Laundry OUT on the LINE, *Then*. - Besides, They went AWAY!

-- eventually...

MEANWHILE... I've got "PHYSIO", Tomorrow -- And, a 40%-Chance of THUNDER-STORMS!

seriously..?! - WHAT *IS* it with *ME*, "MEDICAL"-APPOINTMENTS, and MENACING-METEOROLOGICAL-ness..??!!

oh! BTW, did I "mention" the *PART* about ALSO wanting to *WALK* over to the Electronics-Store to get Those NEW DVD-Releases that I've been Waiting FOREVER for, Later on..?

..yep-per... IT's gonna be a "FUN" Day!

ANYHOO... Got FOUR-MORE Done!

********************************************************************

a "CALL" Out of the BLOOG!

oh! GOOD! - I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT *WHEN* SHE WOULD CONTACT ME!

In Fact, I had made a "Notation" on My CALENDAR to give HER a CALL, *TODAY* - However, SHE beat Me to it and *CALLED* ME!

-- ahh. I Love IT, when "COMMUNICATIONS" and like-such COORDINATING-"DETAILS" just come Together like THAT...

ANYHOO, I Speak of My Second CRAFT-SHOW *CONFIRMATION*, which is actually for the FIRST SALE up on My SHOW-SCHEDULE! -- On, NOVEMBER 2nd at The GOOD SHEPHERD CHURCH in BLACKBURN HAMLET...

Although, I usually only get to See HER *at* the SALES, *ONCE* a Year, the ORGANIZER, "ANDREA", has become a GOOD Acquaintance! -- We "work" WELL Together... Not to mention, SHE's also a GREAT-CUSTOMER!!

MEANWHILE... I've got FOUR MORE for "THE PILE"...

*****************************************************************

pooh! - That YARN I *NEED* still ISN'T "IN"!!

I MIGHT HAVE TO "BUS"-TRIP IT, AFTER ALL... crap!

However, *until* THEN, I'll just have to "FILL-IN" My "CREATIVE"-Time with MORE "WASHCLOTHS"!

Between the SHOP-FARI-ing around and CYBERNESS, I only got THESE Done, Today...

****************************************************************

ohh, nuts! - I *FORGOT* to Look for the GREEN!!

aarrrggghhhhhh....

NOW, I'll have to go and DIG-*OUT* That HUGE-BUCKET, **AGAIN**!!
-- hmm... "MAYBE", there *might* be a BALL "deeper" into "THE ROOM"..?

Tomorrow's LITTLE-"PROJECT" perhaps..?

whatever...

so. HERE's THREE MORE WASHCLOTHS for "THE PILE"...

MEANWHILE...

EVERYONE, have a GREAT and **SAFE** "LABOUR DAY"!!

*************************************************************

ah. So I do have THAT "Colour"...

GOOD! -- NOW... IF I CAN JUST "FIND" THE COLOUR THAT I ACTUALLY *NEED*!?

huh. It looks like I DON'T have *ANY* LEFT of that GREY YARN that I wanted to Use! - crap! - Unless... There is "One" SPOT where I *might* have SOME..? BUT, that INVOLVES Moving a BUNCH of STUFF...

It'll probably be EASIER to just *wait* until Tomorrow and *HOPE* that MICHAEL'S still has IT!

MEANWHILE... I have *STUPID* CYBER-PROBS to "DEAL" with **AGAIN**!!
gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........

ANYHOO... STARE at THESE WASHCLOTHS for a While... That ought to Keep YOU ALL *BUSY*!!

*********************************************************************

oh. WOW! weirdness...

IT ISN'T HURTING..??! -- huh. what's THAT about?

Sooo... IMAGINE My "Surprise" This Morning - after an Evening of ACHES and general DISCOMFORT, not to mention, a few *different* PAINS - that once I was "UP", My SHOULDER was actually Feeling *Remarkedly* BETTER!?!! -- *VERY* BETTER!

And, CONTINUED to DO so for the REST of the Day!! - DESPITE, the DAMP WEATHER and spending way *too* much Time on BUSES... [I had to go DOWNTOWN. LOTS of TRAFFIC. LAST minute DETOURS...]

I am quite in "Shock" over IT all. -- Although, I suppose the REAL "TEST" is whether or *not* the "Trend" KEEPS on through to and, *during* Tomorrow..?

ANYHOO, until THEN, I still have CROCHETING to DO!! - WHILST I *painlessly* CAN!

*********************************************************

WASHing up with the ORTS & ENDS...

HERE'S THIS WEEK'S *PILE* FOR "THE INVENTORY"...

STILL have *MANY* MORE to DO!!

********************************************************************

ON The HOOK, again...

*TIME* TO START RE-STOCKING MY "INVENTORY" OVER AT **WASHCLOTH-WORLD**!

I had *wanted* to get TWO More DONE Today, but I sorta *snodded-off* MID-Evening
for an Hour or so...

Just catching up on My BEAUTY-[cough!]-SLEEP!

***************************************************************

oh. right! - I'd FORGOTTEN!

"THAT" EXPLAINS *EVERYTHING*!! -- But, honestly, did IT *have* to pick a MANY-LOTTERY-DRAWS Day..??!! -- really?!

The "CHOICE"...

*WIN* TONS of $$ and FATE-fully *RISK* getting SMUCKED by the LATEST-Passing-BIG-HONKING-CHUNK-of-COSMIC-GRAVEL..?

OR,

Just MOVE-ON with Your Life and *HOPE* that "ROCKY" and his *Pet*-"PEBBLE", do the SAME!!

ANYHOO... I had a FULL Day of more "MICRO"-Cosmic Concerns... And, needless to Say, the 38C-Humidex wasn't all that "helpful"...

MOTHER and I had a Scheduled-"ADVENTURE" to Attend. Froth with Driving to Previously-UNexplored-Places, thankfully, inbetween the RUSH-HOUR Periods! - Also, MUCH Walking.

-- A portion of which, I could have Saved Myself had I only ventured a Few Yards in the OPPOSITE Direction and *SEEN* the "ELEVATOR"-SIGN!! - However, I went the WRONG Way, took the STAIRS and, ended up having to Walk AROUND the BUILDING!

BTW, some HALLWAYS *are* Longer than They are Depicted on MAPS!!

Eventually, the REST of Our Afternoon went on considerably BETTER than I expected! - Mostly due to ALL of the NICE-PEOPLE We Encountered.

Meanwhile... Here's a Few More WASHCLOTHS for THE STACK...

**********************************************************************

hmm... a Birthday. "VEGAS"..?!?

NEXT YEAR, I HOPE BIG-D IS STILL ABLE TO *REMEMBER* EVERYTHING THAT "HAPPENED" BY THEN!!?

oh. wait. -- SISTER's "SHOPPING-SPREE" RECEIPTS should provide "Clues"..?

Whatever. **HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIG-D**!!

So. Got a FEW MORE WASHCLOTHS Done! -- Between, the "Regular" SUNDAY LAUNDRY Loads and "other" CHORES and sorting-out the FREEZER and DRY-GOODS "BUCKET"...

ahh... BTW, *Remind* Me to get *more* PAPER TOWELS..?

*********************************************************************

huh. well. THAT *Rarely* Happens...

I ACTUALLY GOT "STUFF" *DONE*!?! -- scary!


DESPITE... A Couple of Slight *CHANGES* of "PLANS"..?

• FATHER "Decided" to do STUFF "Today", that I had Expected Him to do on MONDAY.
• Hence, I Left LATER than I had Hoped to.
• No Prob. - Was RAINING Earlier anyway. The SUN's OUT now!
• BEGAN a Load of LAUNDRY as I awaited His Return...
• Squeezed through the *PRE*-RUSH-HOUR-TRAFFIC to COSTCO.
• Then, sat in The CAR to *Phone*-Order "Something" for a Next Week Pickup...
• Ah! "LUNCH"-a-la-FOOD-SAMPLES...
• *More* TRAFFIC INside!
• Head to GROCERY-STORE for "THIS"-Week's *SPECIALS*...
• wow! - Got EVERYTHING on My "LIST"!
• Spent *more* Time *IN* Line! -- Oooo... Found a NICKEL!
• I *Love* getting "PAID" to WAIT!
• Especially, "when", I end up getting to THE BANK 15-Minutes *AFTER* CLOSING!
• nuts! -- And, I had such GOOD "PARKING", too...
• Got HOME *before* the Heavier RUSH-HOUR-TRAFFIC and DINNER.
• Carefully "INSERTED" The CAR past BIG-D's VEHICLE into Garage.
• UNLOADED... Lots of HEAVY Food-Items...
• HUNG the LAUNDRY.
• CYBER-Catch-Up...
• MADE *more* of THESE!

• Got THIS Done!

**********************************************************************

Back to Building-Up "The INVENTORY"

WHENEVER AND WHEREVER, I *CAN*!

That's the NICE Thing about My WASHCLOTHS, THEY are so "Mindless" to MAKE - for the most part... And, a Way to USE-UP Those ODD-LITTLE-LEFTOVER-BALLS of COTTON-YARN.

Well, I have an *EARLIER* Day ahead... So. I *MUST* also "TRY" to get to Bed *EARLIER*-ish!?! -- yeah... I ain't buying IT, either...

*******************************************************************
