crumbs of happiness
1. Both Agent Carter and The Librarians are coming back for a second season. Although I had Issues with AC, I still liked the look and the lead actress very much. And The Librarians is still on my DVR since I've watched it through twice and occasional episodes a third time.
2. I couldn't join the CSA this year and was reluctant to go to the Farmer's Market since I can't buy with abandon like I usually do. But everyone I talked to who knows me was very kind and indignant about my situation. I have few people to talk so that was nice.
3. We finally started tackling the garage full of boxes that were never unpacked when we moved in over ten years ago. Which makes me happy. Things are being pitched, and set out for a community yard sale the end of this month, and put aside for donation. It's hard and not hard letting things go. Also dusty.
4. Rewards came in the form of finding my charm bracelet (purchased by my mother for my sixteenth birthday), my raygun from The Weapon Shops of Isher (now defunct or at least not online) purchased at my first WorldCon, and my official movie souvenir Team Banzai headband, an extra begged from my friend Mark, now several years deceased and still missed. Found my small collection of porcelain dolls, six in all. I will keep two and sell four. I hope a child buys them. Do they still play with dolls?
5. Also my collection of Tarot cards, including my working deck, which is a modified Rider-Waite (simplified for sale as a toy), also purchased by my mother for me sometime in my teens, and my Eden Gray manual. My first reading in years was spot on and scary.
6. I have gathered up what remains of my comics and graphic novels, most of which I no longer want. Plan to make a list and see if they are sale-able at the local comic store before I put them out at the yard sale. What am I going to do with books? The library I suppose, but what about obscure collections like my Books-of-Wonder Oz reprints and my collection of JM Barrie? Is EBay worth the trouble??
In job search news, no word from NY company as of yet as to third interview. E-mailed with hiring person at Maine non-profit, we are going to speak Tuesday morning. I have to think of some intelligent questions that will impress. Also convince I may be better choice than surprise! internal candidate.
I have deep underlying fears that R will not be able to handle things here if I re-locate. He is in pain a great deal of the time, and tired all the time. I know the boys, all my boys, will rise to the occasion but the guilt it burns. Also deep sadness at missing a year, especially #1's last year at home.
I am going to make a strawberry-rhubarb pie today. Also cookies for a friend's birthday gift. I will post pictures if they turn out as nice as I intend.
