Pink chair

My new pink chair! From the thrift store, of course--bink drove it home for me yesterday. My once empty apartment is filling up. I think I like that...?

I love the chair, anyway. It's comfy and and in surprisingly good shape, with no signs of cigarettes or cats.
I'm considering taking off its skirt, a dust catcher. It's got cute wooden legs.

BELOW: The return of my annual 'Two-Person Book Club (Start Your Own)' display. Books we have in duplicate are usually once-popular titles, now unwanted; but I enjoy gathering them together, and it shows care.
A volunteer said, "It makes us look like a regular bookstore."

When Big Boss drove me to work yesterday, he said, "You should make videos for youTube of how to make lunch with food from the food shelf."

What a neat idea! I think I'll try it next week.
I'm not wanting to film anymore Growing Older videos, but making them gave me confidence to make more. This might encourage me to research recipes too, which I'd like to do.

BELOW: The spaghetti and meatballs I made are in the red and white crock-pots on the counter in the break room at work.

On the table is the usual kind of regularly donated food: candy and commercial bakery, near or passed its sell-by date. The ingredients lists are entire paragraphs. We give the food to customers, keeping plenty for staff.

I used to eat donuts every time I worked.

Fresh fruit sometimes gets donated too, but it's often old or somehow unsettling--green oranges, here. A vegetarian volunteer took home the bag that had sat around for days.
