I got a best offer on a book I've had up on eBay for nearly a year now. While I was contemplating accepting the offer ($4 less than my BIN price) I got another email telling me that same person had gone ahead and bought it for full price! Sweet! It was a book I used for my technology class a couple years ago. After shipping and fees I think I'll make about $8 (not real profit because I paid around $25 for it. But better than nothing!)
Unfortunately I also got an email that the DVD I sold last week had a return request. I admit I mistakenly did not put all the correct info for it. I had used the pre-filled stuff for the upc code and didn't double check it closely enough. Totally my fault. So, now I wait for it to be returned. Ugh. (The cover looked exactly the same, the year was the same, just a slightly different title. made all the difference though.)
Hopefully this isn't going to put a ding on my 100% rating.

My allergies are really bothering me this week. I've been taking allergy meds which have allowed me to get 3 or 4 hours of sleep most nights ... if I take a full dose, then I'm a zombie the next day. The lack of sleep is really getting to me.
At least the last two nights I haven't been woken up or kept awake by loud vehicles in the parking lot!

I plan to do some grocery shopping today (don't need very much) and get some cleaning done as well.
I also might make a stop at two local fast food places that have a $4.50 shop associated with them - quick jobs. I will resist purchasing anything!
I redownloaded Receipt Hog last night and plan to start using it again. I'm only 100 points away from being able to cash out for a $5 PayPal. I probably won't though, because you get a better deal if you wait. I'm going to ask NE if he'll let me have some of his receipts because I'll only have one or two a week at most - you can input up to 7. (I need to find mine from last weekend, they'd still be in the 7 day period.)
(If you're interested in Receipt Hog, I have to send a referral link via email - they don't have a clickable one like Ting or Ynab, etc.)

Tonight NE has agreed to drive me along one of the bus routes so I can make notes on the best places to catch the bus and landmarks to pinpoint them. Eventually I hope to do this for all of the routes - it will make it so much easier on me telling people where to go/where to stand.

I must say you are going above and beyond with your job! It's too bad they don't have this information already available to help you.

- There is a list of bus shelters on the different routes. But the buses will stop at any corner as long as it is safe (not a right-hand turn lane, no construction, won't block an intersection) I've had too many people call and tell me that the bus whizzed right by them on a corner I told them to go to ... This will hopefully help to cut down on that happening.
