So, had a garage sale this weekend. Big bonus of it: Friday I went through every nook and drawer and corner of the yard to find stuff I could get rid of. It's like patting down your jacket before leaving a place, comfortable to know that you've located everything. And! In a drawer in the pool room, there was a pile of old mail with an unopened package in it. An unopened package addressed to me! An unopened package that contained the Dresden Files book I'd bought last year, which I'd sadly written off long ago after apparently forgetting I'd tossed it into a drawer on the way out somewhere!

Small bonus of the garage sale: I got to see a live black widow spider in its natural habitat for the first time. After I'd dragged the old animal cage it lived in out of the buried gazebo on the blackberry wildness side of the back yard. Without suffering any harm! It was all glossy and scary and engendered much bemused slightly on edge swearing of the Shit! Dude! variety. It fled as I slid the bottom tray out of the cage to sweep it once I'd gotten it in the relatively beaten-down-weed clear space in the center of the back yard. I shifted the cage around to make sure it left and ran into the weeds, and then bounced the cage another few yards away to continue sweeping it.
