The weather was supposed to be in the nineties today, but even in the land of the free the forecasting is shite.
We had to drive to Grandville to pick up a dresser, and quite by chance a quick visit to Plato’s Closet for Kelli to sell off some surplus clothing, what a coincidence.
I got to have my coffee at Starbucks, my usual luxury.
What I have noticed, with my mask on the barista hasn’t a clue what I am saying. I have to slow my speech, and over pronounce my words just to get a grande latte. They usually have problems with my accent, often responding with “What?” but we get round it eventually, but the mask muffles everything.
Also the heat it generates, especially on a humid day is really uncomfortable.
We picked up the dresser, Kelli was excited how old and crackled the paint was, I was thinking how long it will take to strip.
It looked like it was missing some drawer bottoms, but it looked solid, so a miracle might have to happen.
We had to drive back quickly as a prospective buyer for the dresser, we posted yesterday was coming to look it over.
We moved it out on to the drive, and as often happens there were things missed that had to be touched up.
The lady liked what she saw, she was interested in it’s age, for which I had no answer. The fact it had wooden casters and a sectional back dated it about a hundred years.
She asked far more question than the majority of people we sell to, but she seemed happy with our response, and handed over the money.
There was no time for pool activity, which was a bit depressing, but maybe tomorrow will be better.
Another Lifetime to go
