Off I go again!
Back to the hospital to complete the treatment I was getting earlier, which was suddenly interrupted by my covid recurrence.
2020 has been so weird. I've spent more time in a hospital bed than my own. And my mother has moved countries so we could isolate together, yet I've barely seen her because I've either been admitted in hospital or in quarantine! :lol:
It's all good, though, because I'm very excited to get on with this treatment and hopeful this will be the start of a new chapter.
Also, I've had pretty brutal insomnia since my last covid round and I'm hoping they'll knock me out in the hospital. :giggle: I've been too afraid to take any sleep aids for fear of having covid complications whilst sleeping.
Thank you all for the glorious company and wonderful bag posts that have kept me going! :hbeat:

Wishing you all well. Stay safe, keep smiling, and I look forward to catching up once more when i return!
:heart:
You’ve got this jblended! Sending you many good wishes!

I have lived in 6 countries , Spain, UK, Italy, Belgium, US and presently Germany, but mostly stayed put in Europe which, really, it is just a big country. I kind of miss not having ever lived in Latin America or Asia. I am very çWe

September Update, YTD Stats and Challenges
  • Carried 9 bags
  • Completed wearing a bag three days in a row before switching challenge; I usually change my bag daily, with consideration for my mood, my outfit, the weather, my plans for the day/how much I need to carry, etc. I chose mostly medium sized bags. I enjoyed carrying the 9 bags I wore this month, appreciating the leather, the versatility and functionality of each bag. I am very happy with what I have in my bag wardrobe. :love:
  • Read 19 books YTD
  • Exited 124 items - sports equipment, kids’ clothes, books and household items

Wow… those are amazing stats! How nice to be bag content. :smile:

The number of items you cleared out is astonishing. Kudos! I'd love to do a closet clear-out, but none of the usual places where I do donations are open. I'm guessing they are in your area?

Thank you Elaine. :ghi5:
Yes, the consignment and donation places I frequent are open and accepting items. It makes it easier to make those keep or toss decisions when you have a place you can take the “exiting items.” Also there is less chance of changing your mind if you can get them out of the house sooner. Good luck and best wishes to you!

I had Dh drop off a stack of mostly hard cover books at the local resource center. The young woman working almost didn’t take them . He almost had to bring them back home. He stepped outside to call me and see what he should do with them. In the mean time the woman looked in the bag . Dh said when he went back in to carry them off she changed her mind and kept them all. I guess she liked mysteries..

I'm happy about selling a bag, but really wish I could move out some of the scarves and other things.
I also bought an H Kelly charm necklace and some Tiffany silver lightning bolt earrings.
I *look* at bags and wallets but really really really don't need another thing!
Earrings are a terrific idea if you're on Zoom a lot! :tup:

It’s been a weird month. So, I think I told you all that I was buying a house? It’s been dramatic.

The seller had done some questionable “not to code” work which had major safety violations.
I asked the seller to repair, they refused - my loan wouldn’t cover a home with those safety violations (VA loan). To make a long story short, they eventually fixed things but dragged it out so long that it didn’t get reappraised in time. When we tried to do an extension on closing, the seller demanded $1500 in cash.
So... I found another home, and we should be closing in a week and a half and I’m a nervous wreck. Which has definitely impacted my bag stats.

(And a am a crazy brooch lady, with a definite weakness for contemporary Australian and British brooch makers. I will show collection picks if I ever unpack)
 
I’m happy to have 1 bag out this September. I ‘sold’ a bag to a co-worker, and it’s on a “pay when able” arrangement. I just want to let this go, not because it’s not a beauty, but because I already have a replacement for it and I just feel a bit guilty in having 2 similar (red) bags. Makes sense, I hope.
I feel the same way. I sold the smooth leather Portland leather Goods mini crossbody yesterday. The bags were to similar in color and I was only reaching for the pebbled one.
