What a steal

I went to phisical therapy today, which by the way is going just fine. I'm not as sore today as I was last time, so thats a good sign.

I also talked to one of the neighbors (I helped rescue her kittens a couple of months ago) and found out the scoop on "socrates". Turns out he belongs to a gay couple in another building. I figured he belonged to someone, but like I said, I don't mind if he hangs out sometimes.

I also spent about 2 hours in goodwill today. :) I found a bread machine (I already have one but its in wichita falls), an air purifier (I am hoping the white noise it produces will help me and Alex sleep), a crock pot (because well, everyone needs one), and a vacuume cleaner - because I haven't vacuumed since we moved in. And don't you go judging me either. Who wants to spend $50 on a bulky machine when you've nowhere to put it, and honestly ask yourselves how many times you vacuume even though you have access to one. I am very recourceful. I haven't bothered to buy a mop either, because they are gross and I don't have any place to store it. So when my floors need mopping, I get on my hands and knees with a roll of paper towels and a bottle of clorox clean up. My entire supply of cleaning products consist of clorox clean up, vinegar, baking soda, dish detergent, and windex wipes. Anyway, I could see myself easily becoming obsessed with thrifting. I almost bought a record player for $15, but decided to wait. I really wanted it though. And there were some polariod cameras I wanted.

Wow Marli! I am happy to see the pictures of your great finds. It is always a rush for me or someone I love to find such treasures at such affordable prices. Way to Go! That is recycling at its best! And all that for 32 dollars! You did Great!!!!!!!! I am happy that you got the low down on Socrates although it is kinda fun to have a mystery cat. Remember Little Anne? We did not find out her story for 8 or 9 years. The record player will offer many hours of enjoyment once you get it home. I love you and miss you, Mama

I just got turned onto to thrift stores and I love them. I bought my brother a playpen and a car seat. The car seat was a steal!

I hate mops and think the floor gets so much cleaner when I do it on my hands and knees.

My house is never spotless and I don't care. I live here and I like it so that is all that matters. I never make my bed because I like to get in it all during the day so why bother?

Hope you are liking your new place!
