Day: October 3, 2026

Sat. Oct. 3, 2026 – early start to a busy day

And hopefully it won’t be a scorcher or a gully washer. National forecast has us in the t-storm possible zone for the weekend. With the kid’s activities, it would be nice to not have the rain all day. Kinda like yesterday, some rain would be nice to keep the temp down, but not enough for flooding in the streets…

Did my things yesterday. Napped, then estate sale with crazy high prices, then two pickups over an hour apart, then more kid stuff. Last kid got home at 11pm.

Today starts are 515 with taxi for D2 and her friend to her school activity. Later in the day I’ll be picking her back up from school, then she’ll bring over some excited girls and do stuff here before the next installment of ‘my busy life.’ At some point in that W gets home and can deal with the girls.

I might take another pass at the estate sale as it’s close by and there will be some discounting. I’m sure it won’t be enough. IDK how this company set prices but I’m assuming google lens and the first or highest value returned. Twice ebay asking price in many cases. I’m interested in a box of 80s and 90s vinyl in great condition, mostly bands or albums I want for myself, but I’m not interested in paying more than ebay prices for them. IT’S ALL DISCRETIONARY SPENDING. No one NEEDS anything at an estate sale right this minute, no matter the cost. I’m suspicious of sellers who price very high. They are often scammers who will make a low ball offer for the stuff that’s left at the end of the sale, after purposely discouraging sales with unrealistically high prices. Then they sell it in another market, with reasonable prices but they don’t have to split with the estate and they got it cheap, because “clearly no one is interested in buying it”.

I might even ask some pointed questions out loud because I hate scammers.

In any case, it’s gonna be a long and busy day of other people telling me what to do and when. No me gusta.

Stack, it’s easier.
