Rocket doesn't like change

[cornerofmadness]

So I'm clearing out the part of the room where I'll have the TV stand put (right now it's on a rickety stand held up by two big bins of books. Rocket is NOT impressed by this and does not know how to handle it so he's opted for wandering and howling. So helpful.

I looked through the books. There are things I've had in there since the 80s and never read. I never will. So 5 bags of books are going for donations.

Speaking of donations I forgot this part yesterday. So my friends gave me some donation suggestions for my clothes one of them was My Brother's Keeper (a Baptist charity) in Wellston and since it was dead center of the festival I went inside. Keep in mind I'm coming from PT so I'm in a t-shirt and those knit type shorts that I don't usually wear out but they're the best for PT. I ask the lady are they taking donations

Lady: yes we are

Me: okay what are your hours since I don't want to walk them thru the festival

Lady: (obviously relieved) oh thank you. We've been SO busy today. Our hours are on the door.

She looks at me and then says are you from McArthur?

Me: no I'm from this area (McArthur is about 15-20 miles north)

Lady: Do you know the St Francis outreach there?

Me: No but I'm sure I could find it.

Lady: You could do that. I'm sure they'd want your clothes.

Me: (puzzled) okay sure. Alright then I'm going back to the festival. thanks

Lady: come back and shop sometime.

I leave wondering WHY did the Baptists just send me 20 miles away to the Catholics knowing I'm from here? Is it my clothing and she thinks I'm too poor to have clothes worth their time? Is it the Welsh dragon on my shirt and she thinks it's demonic? Did she see the Victor and the Bully Sinner pin on my purse? Do I send out former Catholic vibes?!?

Guess I'll be calling the Catholics (or just drive around until I find an anonymous bin which is my preference)

Found a fun channel on YT Pasta Grannies. They are recipes but they are also the history/culture/language of the regions and these women. And also the handmade dough makes me feel 6 again making it with my grandma

Watch on YouTube

The mere name "pasta grannies" is delightful!
