MEDICAL GUARDIAN, CARDS...AND I'M SO READY

           


 It’s here, it arrived, but I haven’t taken the time to read all the information and figure out what I’m supposed to do next. I’ll do this at some point this morning. And, what I’m talking about is the Medical Guardian. And, I did get two wristlets, one black and one white.

So, I don’t have much else to say about it quite yet. Just from taking it out of the box, it appears there are several pieces and I’m going to need to plug one of them in and allow it to charge. I’ll figure more out this morning when I read all the instructions in depth. Why is it anyway that things don’t come ready to go? Why do you have to read all the instructions and do whatever they tell you to make something work? I would much prefer stuff to arrive where all I have to do is put it on or plug it in and that’s it. I don’t want to have to read instructions…what would happen if I couldn’t read? Anyway, it’s annoying.

I went to Diamond in the Mall and talked to Ron today. He’s more than willing to help me and gave me some information I can use for research. I’m still going to need to do another spreadsheet (have I told you I hate Excel?) so he can see what I have on hand. Of course, once I have a spreadsheet, it will be helpful if I try to sell on E-bay or wherever.

Thor also called, just as I was thinking of him. He’s going to stop by and help me clean out the card safe. He thinks he can tell me which cards might be worth some money and which cards might not. He also pointed out that when I gave Andy all the vinyl on Saturday, I didn’t include the vinyl that is probably worth the most money.

It was really frustrating to hear this, because I stood close enough to those records while Haley packed up another box to have been bitten if there’d been a snake. Thor asked if I still had the stereo set up with the components all in one unit. I said that I did and he wanted to know if I had given those records to Andy. I walked back to John’s bedroom and looked, and there they all were. Thor had a good laugh and said that those were probably the vinyl that would bring the most money. Poor Andy…I’m going to have to text him and tell him I kept the good stuff.

Haley also called while I was talking to Thor. All those National Geographics I put into recycle as well as the box(es) in the attic…well, Haley has someone who’d like to have them. She’s going to get the ones in the attic down on Saturday…she better come early because it’s going to be hot up there…as well as take the ones out of the recycle tote. It’s simply amazing to me what people value, but I guess that old adage, “someone’s garbage is someone’s treasure” is very valid.

Anyway, it’s been over a year now and I’m still sorting through crap. I just want to be done. I just want to move on. I just want to have everything I don’t want or need to be gone. I just want to put this house on the market. I just want to find someplace so much smaller to call my own. Maryanne told me about a show called, “Little House Nation” on Netflix. I think I’m going to have to begin watching that for some ideas. It’s not going to happen any sooner than next spring, but I’m really ready…really, really, really ready.
