Saturday: Walking the dog, dodging raindrops, and figuring out what to do today. I will be listing items on eBay and it has been a while since I have felt like listing. I like the ability to bring in a little side income with a few sales here and there. The generator is online. A loose connection was the issue. Thank goodness that is resolved.
The first half of this year I was NOT into eBay at all. Listing and shipping seemed like pure drudgery. So I did the next easiest thing. I would go into my live listings, END 20 listings a day, and then SELL SIMILAR of the same 20 listings. This was my way of tricking the algorithm (if that is even possible) into thinking that I was adding NEW listings daily.It did work and I did generate sales. Nothing spectacular, but enough to keep things going. Then I did not even do the minimum of ENDING listings and SELLING SIMILAR. I got lazy and there may have been an extended episode of depression. I did see my family doc and he did start me on a mild antidepressant. I had a reaction, lips swelling, eyelids swelling. This was remedied with Benedryl. We tried a new antidepressant and that has been working out just fine.
Sunday: Church and then a quick trip to Lowe's to rescue some marked-down perennials. I do love the mark-down rack at Lowes. Then I headed over to Goodwill. They had just opened and I was able to beat the crowds from late church. I did get a few cute things to flip.

I was in bed for a couple of hours with a heating pad. Luckily it subsided and I could get up and function. I am rehydrating the rescue plants, mostly Lantana. It can take the Florida heat and the small flowers will attract butterflies and bees.
For better or worse, I saw on TikTok where a gardener would put an egg (in its shell) in the hole before adding the plant. I thought, why not? I will plant them tomorrow morning before the heat kicks in.
