Day One Hundred and Twenty-One

August 8th, 2008

The Sword of Honour Trilogy Page: 645

Another ridiculously busy and productive day is ending. This morning Aimee, myself, my brother and sister, and the boys went to Veritas, moved half the books from one POD to the other and finished clearing out the last odds and ends. We now have three things left to move, the big green chair, a couple of boards and half a dozen left-over slate tiles. I almost can’t believe how hard we worked. The books are heavy (of course), the PODs have no air circulation, and it was hot even in the morning.

I’m having a yard sale at home tomorrow morning and hoping to get rid of some leftovers. I have a few small pieces of furniture, some baby stuff I won’t need now that the boys are home most of the time, and of course some books. I haven’t ever done a yard sale other than the myriads of moving sales my parents used to put on so my expectations are pretty low. I posted the sale on Craigslist and hope that’s enough. At least I’ll be up early with a cup of coffee in hand whether or not anyone shows up. If any of you feel like dropping by, our address is 2210 Manitou Ave and I’ll be setting out my wares by 8am and happy to share my coffee if you ask nicely.

    If you put signs out on Broadway and Boise Ave you’ll get a lot more drive-by traffic.

    I’ve got a sign out on Broadway…but it’s homemade and not attracting much attention. :cry: Next time I’ll be a bit more proactive, I guess.

    Provocative? Oh my. You wouldn’t! :-p

    I totally forgot about this… also, I had to work. I hope it went well.
