Stopped at the southside Goodwill outlet.   Scored a bunch of Christmas and Halloween decor.  Got some other stuff too.<\/p>\n<p>Came home and took down some of the display stuff.  Got the inflatables down, and some of the lighting.  If the rain comes, at least that stuff won&#8217;t be wet, and I can put it in the attic today.  Made grilled lamb chops for dinner.   Heated some naan, and made some black beans as a side.   Meat was from 2021.   Delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Today I should be at home all day, doing all the stuff I didn&#8217;t do yet.   I&#8217;ve got laundry to do, and a lot of cleaning and putting away&#8230;  It&#8217;s time to get the house back in order and put the holiday decor away.  If I&#8217;m particularly efficient and motivated, I might even get some stuff ready for ebay.   Don&#8217;t count on it though.<\/p>\n<p>There is a bunch of new year IT stuff I have planned, and end of year paperwork stuff that needs to be done.   I&#8217;ll start fitting that into my days soon.<\/p>\n<p>And I need to talk to one of my other auction houses and see if I can get some stuff consigned with them.  I need to get stuff moving.  The cash would be nice too.  There is a bunch of stuff to get out of the house&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a lot to do.  Not a lot of energy to do it with.
