We went to Boeing Surplus and purchased two large metal desks, a chair, an adding machine, two magazine racks or "in trays" and five pens. All we need now are the Luxo Lamps. Grand total of $74. Beat that, STAPLES or OFFICE DEPOT!

Bought some enzymatic cleaners for some fabrics the psychotic kitty that lives in the basement has soiled. Received cheque for $3117. Deposited it, and treated ourselves to a nice lunch at the Berkshire Grill. Too many wants chasing after too few dollars -- who can't relate to that?

We have a lot of stuff downstairs I'd like to get rid of: maybe a trade for store credit in Twice Sold Tales, or a yearlong project to declutter and sell them on eBay. Maybe another FlexCar rental to take crap down to the dump.

Not sure about keeping the booze cabinet in the home office. Hubby says it's perfect: the money we save on gas can go to things like... whiskey! Arrrr!
