I bought a “new” Star Wars alarm clock made in the early 1980s. I asked for this for every Christmas, and it never arrived under the Xmas tree. Tantrums, begging, rationalization didn’t budge my parents to get it for me. 😂

Before Halloween trick-or-treating starts tomorrow, I'm going to go down to the food bank and drop off a bunch of stuff I bought this week.

The most important piece to my new sofa arrived today! It was tough to put together by myself but I managed to use the space to my advantage. My cat doesn’t approve yet. 😸

I moved my spare bed down to the living room to get rid of it, and my cat has decided that it should remain in the middle of the living room.
