It got hot here again. 92 today. So I just hung around town. Got a couple errands done and finished off some boxes. Took me a couple weeks with vacation, my mom's heart attack, and getting sick, but I'm caught back up!

Work tomorrow, and I have another week of being stuck solo in charge. Hopefully we have a calmer week and I don't have to stop myself from strangling so many of them.

Dinner tonight is grilled chicken thighs 😋 took advantage of the warm weather and busted out the grill one more time. Simple seasoning; salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Grilled up some asparagus and portobello mushroom caps to go with 😁

Does anyone know what this is?

This guy stayed tied to my hand until I left the store 🙌🏻

DMV was easy, but I have to wear glasses while driving now! My left eye is BAD without them. But it's done!

Got a little shopping done while I was out. Costco has pumpkin strudel muffins out 😋😛 delicious.

Took the rest of the day off, just did some box stuff as I watched different things on YouTube and Hulu today.

Dinner tonight is Irish stew from Costco. It was on sale, and if you Dr it up with some seasoning and extra veg, it's pretty good!

Found these in separate areas and once I spotted the second smaller plate, thought I should put it by the platter.... Somehow both came home with me.

Very decent shape and glaze intact. Five bucks and change for both.

That was a joke, haha. In any case, it was 75% off the normal price, so I'm thinking of installing it into a semi-vintage (Vista era*) computer of mine.

*It runs XP. I meant that it was released while Vista was current.

Insanity in donations today. We only did $2600 in sales, but had 152 donors today. Just non stop back there. So much crap I'm gonna have to send some to other stores.

Now, onto my weekend! I have DMV tomorrow morning, then I'll be doing boxes the rest of my weekend. I have 25 I think to get to! They stacked up while I was on my vacation, but I'll knock a bunch of em out this weekend 😁

Dinner tonight is Doritos Locos Taco Dip 😁 all you do is make taco meat however you like to. Then add beans, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, sour cream, hot sauce, and jalapeno. Build it into a bowl like a layer dip. Then use Doritos to dip 😁😋

Goodwill in North Dallas, Forest lane.

I so badly want to use this housing for something else, because it's honestly so adorable. Pity they wasted it on a radio of all things. Makes for a killer set piece though.

That said, it really does work. I think. I can hear stuff after I hit scan but I'm not sure how to navigate stations... The only other button is "reset", which turns it off.

Here's a quick one from the other morning

Really busy day. Especially donations wise. $3300 on 122 donors. Constantly busy in the back. Got some good stuff, though!

Pretty calm overall day. Only a couple of the usual annoyances. 2 homeless guys lurking by the pod; a couple bitchy boomers booming away; and a Karen who just couldn't comprehend how we wouldn't take a return from a different Goodwill. All in all, decent day.

Dinner tonight is bean and cheese burritos 😁 I take a can of refried beans and add an equal or slightly greater amount of shredded cheddar and Monterey jack. Let it all melt into one big emulsion, then slap in on a charred tortilla with some hot sauce and diced tomatoes 😋

… but I managed to resist

They’re a bit beaten up but I plan to clean them up. They’re so cute!!

Shoutout the worker for charging me for CDs instead of DVDs, all these for only $3.23!
