Monday, Day 32

 Ow, ow, ow! We got rid of our two heavy televisions, gave them to Goodwill. They still work -- actually, they work pretty well -- but this is our last chance to get them down the stairs while Tom is still manly enough  ... ahem, I mean physically capable. I tried to help and just wound up slightly straining my back. Oh, Tom, I'm helpless. Would you peel me a grape?

We also picked up a pick-up truck, took the ratty carpet from our bedroom to the dump -- along with various broken things we'd accumulated over the years -- returned the truck, signed a carpet contract (carpet probably coming on Friday -- yay!), trips to two banks and then -- finally -- food. Thank you, Lunch Fairy!

See picture of the Lunch Fairy:

Who feels like working after lunch, but we forced ourselves. More junk -- I mean, vital and important stuff -- to the basement. And we sunned and watered the seedling tomato plants.

Then a signing for a blood spatter expert -- he testified at O.J.'s and Robert Blake's trials -- and the nice Chinese dinner that came with it. Fortunately, the presentation was after dinner.
