Cold and wet. It was 50F and dropping when I went to sleep. Wed had the temp falling all day, with only a brief time when the sky was blue and the temp was stable. But when the sky cleared, it was a beautiful day.
Took three bins of ‘smalls’ to my auctioneer. Picked up my check and empty bins. Missed the chance to get in the last auction before Christmas. That’s unfortunate, but I knew it was likely last week. Made some money on most of the stuff I sold. Some lost a bit. Some made good money. Which is all normal. There is no way to predict what will sell in any given auction, or how much it will sell for. The biggest return was selling a bag of vintage Fisher Price “Little People” toys. The gallon bag of figures and accessories went for $30 and it wasn’t even very full. All of it went for less than ebay, but that’s normal too.
Today I am trying to get to my client’s house for a few hours. I’ve got to sort out the port forwarding for the cameras, replace the burned up PoE switch, and see what I got wrong setting up the VPN access. If I have time, I need to install the cell booster repeater too.
My sibling is in town for work this week and we have a tentative dinner date tonight. S/he brought some gifts, and I’ve got birthday gifts for him/her. I don’t think we have Christmas gifts ready to send back with her/him. Time is marching on, but other stuff keeps moving to the front of the line.
This is a time to be strengthening relationships, not taking them for granted.
And for stacking up memories of the good times.
Stack stuff if you can’t stack memories, but definitely take the time to stack memories…
