Well, yesterday.
So, I bought a bunch of craft supplies at an estate sale Saturday, and my eldest and I went through everything and took what we each wanted, and we gave away some things we didn't want.
However, there was one bin that had a roll of black plastic cord that smelled like rubber even though it appeared to b e plastic, and we threw that away.
Well there were some other items in that box that now smelled that way as well, and so I spread them out into 3 separate shallow boxes on put them out on a table on our back porch on Sunday when it was very breezy here, hoping to air them out.
Totally forgot about them until last night around dinner. I brought them in, and noticed right away that they smelled considerably better. Then also noticed that every single item was covered in a layer of yellow pollen. Despite everything else outside also being covered in pollen, it never dawned on me that the same thing would happen to these items.
Duh. I wiped down all of the supplies when we sorted them, so now this evening will be the second time I get to wipe all of these down.
Work smarter not harder is apparently a concept I'm still working on.
