Apologies my Twitter friends & colleagues.
This morning I'll be tweeting out items from an online auction of household contents from the family home to raise funds to help care for my mom at home. And to clear up space so we can rent rooms to students.

If you know anyone in the Toronto region-ish who might be interested in this auction, pls RT (no worries if you can't!).
And for the curious, there's a lot of insight into my brothers' and my semi-Victorian childhood in these pix. My dad was a great scrounger & collector.
And for the curious, there's a lot of insight into my brothers' and my semi-Victorian childhood in these pix. My dad was a great scrounger & collector.
We grew up in a house packed with odds & ends on every surface, and books & pictures covering every wall. It is heartbreaking to see some of this go, although we have kept some things my dad & mom loved best. One day, we'll get to the books--the hardest thing of all.
The auction ends tmw (Sunday) at 8 p.m. EST, and the prices for most items are still really low, so we're hoping things gather steam soon.
The pickup is on Tuesday evening, but for people we know, we can make arrangements for pickup at another time if needed.
OK. Here goes....

Had to stop to celebrate the first day of holidays with a second, delightfully large cup of fresh, hot coffee.
Put my mom on a flight to see one of my brothers this morning, and am free to not be an adult for the next 7 days. Woohoo!
