what items are worth...

my partners sister arrived from texas and is staying with us for 3 months along with her 2 very young sons.
not going to lie... i am actually fine with it. at first i thought that i would have a conundrum being surrounded with so many people. but to my surprise i am loving the company, and the children are just so cute and interesting to watch. yes there are tantrums and some crying during eating time but its all so new to me and being an only child i am loving the fact that i am finally a part of a big family.

now i know what your all thinking "its early days yet"... but honestly i think i will be fine, i just need to keep my distance when i need space and just look at it as a lesson in social etiquette and compromise. i think in the end if i survive this, i will be a stronger person.

i am however very exhausted because of constantly trying to pick up after myself and contributing to the house work. it is my own fault for i obviously don't really feel at home just yet and i find the need to be useful, im just glad that i have the garage and this blog to retreat to if and when i need.

had a garage sale. it rained, it was cold, it was heart breaking. it was difficult for me to let go of my possessions and even harder to put such a low price on things that i still loved. like this day bed from ikea for instance.

at the start of the day i had it on sale for $50, which i thought was fair enough considering a. i still loved it and b. i believed that for $50 it was a bargain for it originally cost me $120 to purchase.

as the day progressed however, i realised that not many shared my love for this bed, nor did anyone really take much notice of it. in sheer desperation to make room and not to impose on my partners mother any longer, i really promoted the bed and even put it down to $20... that's right $20!!!! eventually it was sold to the third last customer of the day. the burden was finally lifted and soon after aggravation that i had to lower it down in price substantially.

in the end my partner and i earned $80 each, his star wars, our old books and my old unused

clothes were a big hit...

this movie was just what i needed to suck me out of reality, even for just a few hours.
