What's everybody doing today?

The town we shop from is about 10 miles away and we do get mileage. If it was farther, we wouldn't do it.

yeah, we are much further from any town. Occasionally I think about if I should get a job to make extra money but then I decide against it. First of all, I let my license expire and I doubt anyone would hire an engineer that hasn't done engineering in 10 years. So I have no idea what sort of job I would be able to get now. Then if it is not high paying , it would really not be worth it because we would probably have to buy a new vehicle to drive there every day. On top of that we are busy enough with animals and later farmers market. So we will just have to live on what we have . The good thing I just found out the standard deduction was raised ( cost of living raise)

I could do better with finds from Goodwill, craigslist, facebookmartket.... being in town has some advantages.

Items from Estate sales. Clothing (actually jeans mostly) it's easiest to ship! And I get a lot of items new with tags from thrift shops. I write drafts for items and take the photos. DH puts the photos on his laptop and then on each listing. Not real time consuming. We aren't very active now and haven't been for a couple of years. DH's health has been problematic.

Today, I will either walk or do a video.
Write more drafts for ebay.
Walk dogs in between rain events.
Nothing else on the list, but something will come up!

I didn't know selling clothes was worth the trouble, I mean the profit margin doesn't seem great. But.... they are easy enough to ship and once a person has it down to a science - it is easy enough and cheap enough.

So today: I'm doing the ebay thing... but just selling what I have. Maybe another day I'll buy items locally to sell there a make a few bucks.

Woke up to the school leaving a msg at 5 am no school, snow day. So went back to sleep. Looks like 3 to 4 inches out there and still snowing. It's 12 degrees out and looks like that's our high today, will be getting down to 0. Dog went out for a bit, and came in when his feet were froze and he jumps around. He'll be around the woodburner most of the day. Levi came in for coffee, still here, probably will stay for the day.
Animal chores will be a pain like Sonya's are today.

Going to the clinic to drop off some blood this morning. Then down south to pick up my new shotgun and get some groceries. Another storm coming in tomorrow through the middle of next week. It's -12 here. Should warm up to the mid teens.
I'll stoke up the fire before we leave and set the thermostat to 61 degs.

Went out to feed and no water. Plans have changed somewhat.
