WINTER!!!!

It sure felt like an actual Winter this week with 2 days of light rain... still never enough but it was something and freezing too!  The temps during the day where high maybe 60's, to 72 degrees but it did stay around 60 a lot which was great!  Prefer the cold and it's always easier to get warm than is to cool down (and cheaper too!).  But overall (so far) it's been a good start to December weather wise, still a bit too dry for my taste.  My hands are so chapped from it and I try to use my lotion as often as I can but need some moisture here soon.  At least our weather is fairly accurate and it did call for rain 2 nights this past week and we got them.  Next week it looks about the same but 2 days in a row so looking forward to that (I can turn my sprinklers off for a bit and save some water!).

Weekly Update:
This has been an interesting week and month (so far).  So in my decluttering long term project I have been putting a lot of items for sale on eBay.  I figured since I have the room, I can sell things off and slowly get rid of them while turning a penny or two.  This week alone I have sold 4 items... on average I MIGHT sell 1 item a month or 1 every other month.  December is generally no different despite the holidays but this year is very different!  And it has been a good mix of my higher-end collectibles and movie memorabilia that I have been sitting on for over 10+ years.  One item for example was a McFarlane Toys motorcycle from the anime Akira, no box and I had it sitting forever on a shelf.  I cleaned it up and saw it was going for about $99 and so decided to put it up.  Sold!  Pretty quickly in fact and that was just for a toy motorcycle.  I would say combined this past week between the four items I've made (gross) about $164 which is nice for clearing out some of my old stuff and the boxes I've been saving to ship things with.

At the movies:
Singing it’s way to #1 is West Side Story for 10.5 million in it’s debut.  Not a strong number but right now it’s a box office lull and a way to get those award contenders out.  Drop down to #2 is “Encanto” with 9.4 mil as it continues to try and hit the 100 mil mark.  It should get there eventually but will definitely take time.  Slipping to #3 is “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” with 7.1 mil and will start to fade from here.  Following the trend and dropping down to #4 is “House of Gucci” with 4.1 mil and sure we will see some award nods soon.  Rounding off the top 5 is “Eternals” with another 3.1 mil and may be gone soon.
