I forgot how much I enjoyed blogging/journaling. I try to treat IG/FB as a blog with pics, but because my audience is family, family friends, and fellow vintage resellers, it doesn't feel as freeing to write whatever I want. I mean, yes, I do write many personal things on IG/FB, but it's not the same as here. I can riff more here, talk about teevee and my anger at my sister and whatnot.

Anyway, it's been 3 days (4?) and coming here to post in the morning already feels like routine.

Part of it is that I really love my office, and I am finding more excuses to be in here besides just estate work and reselling. It's pretty with lots of interesting things to look at.

The other part is that my husband makes me feel sooooo guilty. We both get up stupid early, and we spend the first hour-plus on the couch with the dogs, drinking coffee and scrolling on our phones. But he moves into his office to start work -- ON THE WEEKENDS TOO -- by 5:30 at the latest. If I am still on the couch an hour later, I feel like the laziest lazy who ever lazied. And it's usually not even 6:30!

So I have been getting off the couch a little earlier too, and motoring through my new daily routine earlier. Making the bed, eating breakfast, cleaning up the kitchen and the dog bowls, some data entry, this daily post, and the start of whatever chores I am doing that day. Yesterday morning it was dog food prep, today it will be folding a couple of baskets of clothes. I should be done with all of that well before 9, and then I can head out to go sourcing and/or errands.

It's kind of nice clearing the decks early. It opens up my day to more possibilities.

Anyway, I need to get going on that daily routine! Need to fold the clothes so I have something to wear today. LOL.

This will be a short one as I have been busy all morning already and it's almost time to head out for the weekly estate and garage sales.

Going to those every week -- and to thrift stores nearly every day -- is super fun, so it's taken me a while to see that it is also work. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are my busiest days of the week especially in the summer (aka garage sale season). So I need to shake a leg soon.

But first I had to do some re-arranging in my office. My husband installed these wonderful automatic plugs for most of the lamps in the house. Many are set to timers based on our morning and evening routines but best of all we can also turn them on and off via Echo. Sometimes my husband and I get into arguments about his poor naming choices of a lamp, ("Why are their names so SIMILAR??") but mostly we love the ease. I swapped out the lights on my desk for a pretty porcelain butterfly lamp and a MCM wooden floor lamp, but now they are tricky to reach to turn on and off. Also, they are the only two in the house that require manual work, and I am lazy now. So I had to buy a bigger surge protector to fit the plugs, spend some time on my hands and knees untangling cords, and then install them and set them up in the app. I will never switch on a lamp again! LOL!

Also did the routine chores of the morning: made the bed, started a load of laundry, washed the dishes including the dog bowls, had a yummy breakfast of Noosa yogurt with blackberries and peaches.

Ok, enough chit-chat. Time to go wait in line to buy dead people's things!
