Mentally challenging work day and a colossal yard sale

I'll try not to complain too much but my client keeps misplacing important items.

Items like brand new readers from the eye doctor and the wallet that bank cards and cash is kept. I have to help look for these misplaced items frequently. It's frustrating for me since I misplace my own items all the time at home, it's generally clothing that I misplace. Luckily my client doesn't wonder off or follow past routines, I think it's just a part of aging. Luckily, I don't wonder off either!


When I left work today there was this colossal yard sale at one of the oldest and majestic homes in the Elmwood Historic district. I spotted this oversized canvas print that was breathtaking. I didn't have the room for it at home and I didn't have the cash so it didn't go home with me. That's a good thing since I have too much stuff. Stopping at any type of sale must release some sort of a dopamine hit for me.


No need to respond. I'm going to brush my teeth and try to get some sleep. I'll need it for tomorrow.

When I saw yard sale in your title, I was going to wish you luck and energy for having one. Whew! You've got plenty without having a sale!

Here's to good weather and an easy day.
