Always one watcher...

...but never a bid. I've put this silly bag I got from AARP up I don't know how many times, and it's always had at least one watcher, but never a bid! I lowered the price again just now, and I hope the person...

Got the mail...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 6 Jan

...as exciting as it was. Some store ads, something from AARP, and an ad for some Pilates place. At least there were no bills. Plus, the sun is out--which is very nice. I can actually see blue sky up there, and the little...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 4 Oct

I went the long way--around the apartment complex, and back to the back where my mailbox is. Currently I have 3,557 steps. That's find with me. As for the mail, it was just something from AARP and someone wanting money. Right...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 27 Sep

Such as it was. I don't even read these AARP magazines when I get them. It's heading to the trash. At least I didn't get any bills. The temperature in the lower left corner of the screen says its 75 degrees F...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 26 Jun

Went out to get the mail today, and it wasn't too bad...an AARP thing wanting me to take out life insurance, and a check from my brother for my share of the rent from the house. I'll need to go to the bank tomorrow....

Got one item up...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 7 Mar 25

Was sent this shoulder bag from AARP some time ago, and never used it. It's not a bad little bag, though it (like so many other things AARP has sent me) is something I have no use for. Hopefully, someone will take an interest...

Went to get the mail...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 25 Jan 25

It wasn't the greatest, but there were no bills--just an AARP magazine and a form for taxes. My step counter says 6,713 right now, so I'm happy with that. After I post this, I need to go and fold/put away the...

Just an envelope and a paper from AARP. Judging from what I can read through the envelope window: "Home Care Aide Regis...."--also that it's dated December 20th of last year--I'm guessing it has something to do with that job I...

More mystery mail...

Stacey @xstitcher (39011) • Petaluma, California 26 Jul 21

Angel didn't want to go with me to get the mail, as I'd put my weighted blanket on her 'cause she was whining, and I guess she got too comfortable. Once I open the Amazon package, I'm sure I'll say: "Oh, yeah, that."...
