My sisters and I are yelling at the guy on TV...

Sis discovered YouTube yard sale channel and we are losing our minds! This guy has no idea what to buy and doesn't buy what we want him to buy! Beautiful brooches passed up for what he thinks is gold to sell for weight. Ugh, the art and beauty dismissed for a few bucks to melt down! Virtual yard sale shopping… Cabin fever may have officially set in. Although, he did spot some valuable art I was yelling at him to grab for $20, but he says he's going to try clean it. NONONO! omg

I'm the youngest, the least at risk, and only one working. I was outside tending our yard for a couple hours today. I'm also the go-fer when we need groceries, pharmacy runs, etc... It's all good.

When things are back to normal , I'm hauling my two sisters all weekend to sales around our valley. We always have so much fun, and we'll even stop for a drive-thru treat!

Congrats on your wonderful finds!

It made me exhausted just watching. They had set cameras up in the house. From early in the morning the two extremely energetic little kids barreling out of their rooms to play, parents making meals and cleaning up the inevitable mess, trying to get some work done but the kids want to play with them -- the kind who need constant attention. At least they had a yard and could go furiously play out there. The parents said they were more worried about the kids not being able to go out, but I worried for the parents.

Made me happy to be peacefully all alone with Netflix, which I only got a few months ago. I'm obsessed!

we cancelled Netflix and kept Hulu. I was crushed. I'm playing catch up since the lockdown, so it will be a month or so before I can renew the Netflix.

During my down time, I have enjoyed watching some of the classics. I watched Sunset Boulevard and Fiddler on the Roof earlier this week.

Happy you're finding peace in all the madness.

Some guy named P.I. Casso, from what I can tell. Rank amateur. Doesn't he know eyes go on each side of the nose, not the same side! Dummy. Maybe I can re-use the canvas?
