Saturday, I got the main Temu delivery early but was really disappointed in the quality this time of 2 rugs, plumber's tape and microfiber cloths. I remembered ordering 50 microfiber cloths advertised for under $4, and ended up with 5 cloths for over $5. I am in the middle of a dispute with them over this. I noticed their prices are almost at retail level and their "clearance product" emails are fraught with deception. I noted a fabulous car toolkit advertised for $23 or so, but when you clicked on it the price was 10 times higher... I am not going to trust these guys much further...
The weekend was spent reading and watching curling and hockey again. The weather is cooperating, staying between 10C and -10C.
Yesterday I picked up Bob and we went shopping on the south side at a place called "Find", dedicated to raising money for the homeless. It was way better than Goodwill or Value Village, which don't do charitable work any more. Bob was looking for small dinner plates and I was looking for something to raise my air-conditioner off the floor. I found a lovely, heavy, oak small filing cabinet which will suit the purpose beautifully, and give me more storage room... lol.
So that got me working at removing the air conditioner from the window, then I removed the feeder "bell" that I had hanging through my living room window for the birds too. The birds are ignoring it so I will move it someplace else later...
I also later intend to re-setup the air conditioner outlet on the inside sliding window so that I can still slide the outside sliding window closed at anytime, especially over the winter... This is still in the planning stages...
This morning, I awoke, looked at the clock and it said 6:49am, and my mind was quick to recognize that this was Wednesday, the day of the 6-49 Lottery draw! So, later I went to the corner store and used my old, old string of numbers that I had formulated in its infancy in the '80's. And I got the Western 6-49 as well, since the morning message was nebulous, lol. Was it a sign to me???? We will see later. They still have not posted the winning numbers.... Now, if I do win a jackpot, there are a lot of charities that are going to benefit greatly. That is a promise I made to the sender of my early morning clue...
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
