The only good thing about having a yardsale is that I get to have tea for breakfast.

More than this

Despite everything I have been through today, having been up setting up yard sale since 6:30AM, I still remember my AM earworm.
Mystery Achievement - The Pretenders

Thanks for stopping by Ms. Destruction and Mr. Von Borax!

It's that time again

Sat/Sun 10-5 (ask me if you want to know where).
Music & gear, MTG cards, formica table, disc golf, campstuff, kidstuff, tools, books, the usual. No earlies.

It sucks having to do it on the holiday, but, if you haven't noticed it has rained every weekend for like 5 weeks.

Swimming With the Sharks

I get really annoyed with the bloggers who don’t blog. I then assume (project) that you’all are annoyed with me. Well:

• My muses are apparently occupied elsewhere, (I wrote a couple songs last week).

• It was Oliver’s Birthday and the small, but nice and lengthy soiree wore me out.

• The illness ( and chemo like doses of antibiotics) were causing me to nap up to four times a day and suffer from both enervation and ennui for weeks.

• While sick, I have been hustling, preparing to hustle, and planning several hustles.

This drive to get, and keep, some money is pretty strong at the moment. I spent a solid week while sick in bed anyway, going through approximately 5000 “Magic The Gathering” cards I have had packed away for about 15 years.
So if you know anyone crazy enough to really, really, want “Time Walk” and “Time Twister” in near mint condition, I’ll let them have both for 600 bucks.
Or if their pockets are a little shallower and their tastes a little more to the exotic I have a lovely “Sharazad” and some nifty efreets and djinns.
No really, if you or your loved ones like the game, I have thousands of cards which retail from .13 cents to 500 big ones I’d love to sell ya.....

We also have started the process of preparing for The Big Yard Sale. Now if the weather will just cooperate we’ll get that party started this weekend or next. I’m thrilled. Really, I am simply thrilled. I just love sitting, hungry, thirsty and in dire need of a pee in the backyard for hours on end selling my bits for pennies on the dollar. However, getting the basement emptied is a real incentive. And in this weather hanging out down there is not the worst thing one could do. The cats find it fascinating anyway.

These and other schemes are taking some mental, emotional, and physical effort. Of which I am still slightly limited at the moment. So while I await my MRI and the subsequent results I’ll be hustling my bustle and scheming my dreams. I’ll let you know how the life of the fabulously wealthy turns out.

Blame it on the boogie

Blame everything on the yard sale
No really. It really is it’s fault. It put me so far behind in everything:
School reading
Housework (and created extra)
Bill Paying
Eating properly
Blogging

I have had to just get my hyper-focus on all week and put my life back together. So that’s that and that’s all done. Now I have to go uptown and try to undue some of the damage neglecting the bills has done. I may have lost my safe deposit box. That would really suck.....

i haven’t even had time to read the newspaper since Sunday. I keep buying ‘em, they keep piling up, maybe tomorrow.....

Oops we’re doin’ it again

Apparently I didn’t hurt myself badly enough last weekend so we’re having another yard sale tomorrow and Sunday. But I’m taking Monday off dammit.
If you wish to consort with a cranky and stressed out Stell you know where to find me. If you don’t know where to find me, either follow the many signs or ask....

Dear Universe

Thanks for all the really cool stuff you have bestowed upon me of late. Particularly the amazing new roof, the awesome hammock, the funky and cool Wurlitzer Orbit III synthesizer, the copy of my favourite,The Rolling Stones “Her Satanic Majesties Request” with the original 3-D picture cover, and the pulp sci-fi with the gorgeous cover art. We will also try to be better plant parents and take good care of the new plants.

Also, Oliver is really in to his new room look. Thanks for all the purple stuff which helps him to not be as frustrated with how messy and full of weird stuff the rest of the house is at the moment......

As you know, I am really trying to uphold my end of the bargain and put a lot of cool stuff into circulation for cheap or free myself. So with that in mind, I’d like to articulate a couple of requests in order to facilitate the whole process:

I would really, really, love to be able to send my friends a check for at least a hundred bucks, more would be even better. It would be like early Xmas for them. I don’t need to tell you how hard they are struggling... In order to do that I need to sell their beautiful vintage formica set (with the 6 original chairs), the crazy tapestry thing and the McCoy Jardiniere. So if you could draw the right collector(s) to the next yard sale that would be really helpful, thanks.

Also we really want some wing back chairs in my colours (ember red, jet black, butter gold, or deep green). I can trade 2 chairs for 1 or 4 chairs for 4. I will begin the process by putting out the blue one for free, as I know my chairs will show up some time, some how. Thanks.
