Warmish, and damp. Really damp. Pretty sure about that part, here in the swamp. It did occasionally get sunny yesterday and the temps got into the 70s in the afternoon. Still, it was pretty damp and unpleasant.
I did get my pickup done, which got me two Christmas presents. Stopped at the Goodwill in Katy (better local stuff than most) and got a few more- some funny graphic T shirts for D1 and something for my sibling.
Then it was home for the list. So I got to work clearing some of the stuff out of the room where the Christmas tree will be. That meant taking a look at some of the things there. One was a big cigar humidor (like a 3 ft tall wine fridge) that had no power. I bought it for pennies because it was a scratch and dent. Troubleshooting through the power supply and onward, tested the compressor by jumpering past the control board.. and just when I’d almost given up, I thought to pull the control panel on the door. The connector was not connected… plugged it in, and everything came to life. Hooray. That’s not just a fix, now it will leave my house and head to auction. I need more to leave.
While this was going on I was watching a couple of auctions close too. Didn’t buy anything. But every time I walked past the kitchen, I snagged some cookies. Lots of cookies. I’ll pay for all the sugar today… but it was worth it. W1 and D2 outdid themselves piling up the good stuff.
Today I’ll be working the list AND doing all the normal school day stuff. And maybe shopping for the rent house repairs. Or actually doing them. Who knows. Could happen.
And I think I should probably order a couple of gifts from my wife’s list… that seems… prudent.
I’ll be pulling presents out of the stacks, but some things off her list might be a good idea.
Stack ALL the things, even gifts for your loved ones…
