Surplus

 I got just a tiny bit excited when I saw an ad for a company that I have hauled quite a bit of furniture out of in the last four years.

So, Friday, I purchased a double mattress. I am intending for it to sit atop an old antique bed frame that I purchased at a garage sale on Hawthorne. I also purchased an old antique bed frame at a 'cottage country' garage sale last summer or the summer before. That one is an exact replica of one I purchased, circa 1986.

The sofa, sectional, grey chair with wood leg repair, and leather chair with turned leg were all hauled to Dauphin in my truck. I am so grateful I had a truck at that time. I had very strong opinions about the styles and chose all of them to my great enjoyment. Although I love the button- tufted sofa for all the sleeping comfort it provided for me in the last three years, I am thinking the sectional, although not my favourite colour, would work best for me because of carrying weight and moving into a small space. I am also very grateful that my chair, which was amicably moved from current address, by my husband and a pastor, to the church I attended, is being safely stored for me until I can find someone to help me with getting those pieces to where I currently live. I hope my current vehicle can make that long drive without mechanical problems.

The first pieces were purchased in 2023 and the next in 2024.

Now I have applied to work at this place. I really hope this works out well. I could use some surplus.

The think I would have enjoyed working at the decorating place I applied at, in person, in the out of town location. I purchased some vinyl plank flooring for the bathroom renovation, at that store, and then installed it. I find the glues somewhat toxic but the brand new subfloor made the installation very smooth. 

The cleaning business, in the same town, I also applied at, three times, in person, but I was not nearly as excited about that position and each time, I was told, they didn't have any openings. 

Then I applied at the store where the tub, vanity, and kitchen taps were purchased but they didn't have an opening either. It sure was fun, for me, getting those projects completed.
