Thursday started out with an email from the condo mgt saying several condos in Handsome Son's building have found roaches. I don't think he has seen any, but every condo in the building must be inspected and possibly treated.
Sooo, sighing deeply, I put in a call to Exterminator John who treated my house in the summer. Always something. I'd just written a sizeable check for the HO insurance for the year.
I texted Handsome Son requesting he check and do serious cleaning and decluttering. He's good about putting food away, but very clutter prone. He hasn't seen any roaches. But they're sneaky fellers.
On to better news. More simple upcycling. This is the white shirt from The Box. After removing all these frilly bits
From everywhere, collar, shoulders, sleeves, someone went mad, this nice simple cotton shirt emerged
Just iron and it's ready. I had tried it on to make sure it fits. It's labeled xs which I'm not, but their xs is more like s. It works. Twenty minutes clipping, done.
Two items down, two to go. One item needed nothing done to it, big t-shirt for nightwear. I need to shorten the pants, and decide what to do with the wraparound dress/tunic.
This box is proving a good thing. Definitely has entertainment value beyond just shopping.
Not entertaining is the loss of SNAP food support in the next couple of days. Now is when we all need to find out how to give practical help locally to emergency ministries, food banks, whatever is being set up. My state assemblyman has set up a collection system to supply locations in Trenton with food and donated money.
If you're not in the USA, there's great need in Jamaica which took a direct hit from Melissa. World Central Kitchen is already on their way. They can use $$.
Go to their website and follow from there
Happy day everyone, we can do what we can but it's still okay to enjoy, too.
