Bored out of the mind...
Jan. 15th, 2025 05:33 pm ...hence insufferable. Na, not me, husband is. At the moment he is doing an invebtory of things we do not need anymore. Advertises them on Willhaben for free. At least two people each day will show up and pick items up. Today it´s the two TV sets from number four and five´s bedrooms which found a new owner. I so love it when alien people are at our house. I fear that I am getting paranoid, always expecting burglars showing up during night. Our residential area is not the safest one- inhabited by people not wealthy enough to have securing devices (save for the vice major´s house) yet possessing things others might like to have (or sell on). There have been burglaries aplenty all around. That´s exactly the reason why I do not want strangers in our house...
I am not that much better than hubby- I did a raid through two drawers in the kitchen. Eliminated a lot of gadgets- who needs a ginger grater which does not work properly, an old garlic crusher (when there´s two new ones), an enormous wire wip which only falls out of the bowl the moment one takes a break, a sushi rolling mat which got replaced by a newer one last year. All things went into a cardboard box and will go to the rubbish tip the next days. No more saving things for flea markets- I save and husband stores them in the garage, where I won´t find them anymore.
Today it was so grim outside all day long that I did not want to search for Firenze, who deserted just when I wanted to put him to use. I know that he has to be somewhere in the studio. He did not make it into the Christmas lanterns- sorry, Firenze, not a place for centaurs- so he maybe sulked then was off. But searching him will involve going through a lot of boxes and also decluttering in the studio, and I was not willing to do so today. Not, when it was so dark, snowing now and then outside and generally being too cool inside- it´s the third day (or more) in a row we did not make it into plus degrees. Plus I had a lot of cooking to do today: Mapo tofu for lunch, tuna salad and salmon sandwiches for dinner, when a friend will show up- one who is always hungry and can eat like a wolf yet has kept her slight build, and hubby was not exactly helpful, because he was still searching for things to put up on Willhaben. What he did not do was cut the last row of green and silver bubbles off the birch branch next to the entry door, so that at least one more box full with decoration would wander to the basement. But he brought a plastic container I quickly filled with wooden ornaments that had been on the shelves in the corridor. I will have to find a replacement- the shelves look awful now with only Dobby (present from number two for Halloween- that thing is spooky when it talks to you) on the top shelf! Well, maybe tomorrow, when it´s supposed to get warmer and the streets will be snow-free again- not that we got much of the white menace, it was more like freezing rain (at minus one???), but my winter tyres need immediate replacement, and hubby is as cryptic as always when I ask him for the correct dimension, so that I can go and search in the WWW for new ones...
