So yesterday’s recap: Cleaned a little bit from items I “missed” the day before. Began my journey through Healthcare.gov, got some exercising in, spent some time surfing, and ran to the library. All before lunch.
On the agenda for today? Not sure yet. Right now, I’m enjoying a cup of coffee, writing this post and surfing. I was going to cook dinner later. See, I’ve been working my way up with cooking dinner. The first day we had leftovers so I was off the hook. Yesterday, I made garlic bread, broccoli, and ravioli we picked up at Costco. Side note: we’ve had two of Costco’s ravioli, Irish cheese and also Italian sausage, both awesome! But making ravioli is pretty straight forward. I was going to make General Tso chicken with rice and broccoli, but we still have leftovers so I’ll work on my dinner skills tomorrow.
I was considering purging some things from our garage via Craigslist. We have accumulated quite a bit of crap over the years we don’t really need. But Nicole mentioned maybe we should have a garage sale when it warms up. We’ve always been put off by the work involved (we call it the Laziness Factor). But now, I can put the time in to prepping. So next week when it warms up here, I’m planning on cleaning out the one side of the garage that is kind of a pit for the moment. Then I can start identifying items we can sell. I like the idea of getting rid of unnecessary/unused things, this will be a good opportunity.
So our readers are aware, I created a new category: Unemployed Average Joe. If you have no desire to see my ramblings, you have an out!
Joe-
I’d suggest attempting to Craigslist an item or two a week as well as prep for the garage sale. I make more from Craigslist and Nextdoor.com postings than I do from garage sales, so you can get some cash up front and then just pour out the rest at once. Just an idea. Sounds like you are pretty awesome at picking up the slack when you aren’t working, so that’s very cool. 🙂
I haven’t tried Nextdoor.com. I’m going to take a look there this afternoon. We’re on the same page with Craigslist items. I have several collectible type items which would fetch better $ from Craigslist. I already have a few items I’m going to post this afternoon.
And thanks for the picking up the slack comment! 🙂
