Wednesday

[susandennis]

It's a quiet Wednesday - the in between week with no house cleaner. I like it.

I'm pretty much over the whole doll situation. I got a lot of LJ comments with suggestions of places that might like the dolls and I am sure there are a gazillion more but... the amount of effort I am willing to expend to find contacts and then make contacts in hopes of finding someone to take them is minimal. I've sent two emails out. Jeannie (the Baby Bank lady) is going to ask around. If something pops up, great. If not, I'll drop off the ones Jeannie does not want at the Goodwill drop off and hope they land appropriately. I'll make more as long as it's fun to do.

I had a nice swim this morning. Swimming and 'reading' a book is a great combo. And I'm really enjoying the current book. I'm having a hard time landing on my next novel. The past two nights (when I get my best 'reading' done) I've tried and abandoned two different candidates. Tonight, if I don't find a better option, I'll go with the second in the Crissa Stone series.

My experiment with CBS All Access streaming took an interesting turn. I decided to opt in for the more expensive ad-free version. And I hooked it up to Roku and I must say that the experience is excellent. I have a few CBS shows on TiVo that I haven't watched yet and I think I'll likely watch them via All Access while I have it for the next 6 weeks.

Meanwhile another very interesting option popped up today... a new British TV stream called Britbox. It is ad free and has a much better offering than Acorn. It even has the Sewing Bee. I may well give it a drive after I dump CBS All Access.

I have a bunch of Amazon stuff (my Subscribe and Save delivery) coming today. I used up the last of my Cerave lotion this morning. The delivery includes a new bottle. Whew. Tonight is the first night baseball game of the season. But, before that - dolls and bears.

Sucks about the dolls.

If you start donating them at the Goodwill, I will keep an eye out for them. :)

I went back and read your post about the dolls, that's really too bad. I hope you're able to find a good place to donate them to, and I'm sure Goodwill would be thrilled to have them.

It's hard to believe it's time for baseball, it's still so damn cold here. lol I'm more than ready for spring.

I hope your dolls would stand out at Goodwill. Ours is overflowing with stuffed animals and dolls. A few charity thrift stores around here don't even accept anything stuffed no matter what because people donate them so much. But I also understand not wanting to do a bunch of work to find someone to take them.

Oh that's so interesting! I don't even remember seeing stuffed animals at my Goodwill store. I need to look. Maybe they don't put them out for sale. Our Goodwill is pretty huge. Lot's of stores around town and different programs. I think they would get used one way or another. But I definitely want to look now.

And yeah, the very idea finding a new taker just makes me exhausted. I'm still hoping one will fall from the sky :)

I have a couple friends in Seattle who think that what you do is awesome - I mentioned it in passing recently.

If you don't find another place, and you'd like, I can reach out to them and only have them contact you if they have an actual taker? :)

I'd love for you to reach out to them! How kind of you to ask. Feel free to give them my email - susandennis@gmail.com

Thanks!
