Did I Just… Best Purchase?

Daily writing prompt
What is the best purchase you have ever made?

Repeat question?

The rolling backpack I have that has 18 different pockets? It has a handle to pull, wheels, straps for the back (as a backpack) and pockets for the handle and back straps.

My vacuum cleaners? Nobody is hooked to any wires!

My trash grabby stick?? Saves my back.

A bathtub drain protector has now saved me $100s of dollars.

My ergonomic keyboard?

My ergonomic mouse! Saves my wrists so much!!

The pastilles I use for my throat? Which saved my singing voice when I realized air was moving past my chords and not through them properly.

One of the best (I think) was a ball of twine.

I’m serious.

We had a major ice over back in February… and I was trapped in the house for 3 weeks. Ice in the front of the house and ice in the back of the house.

So, I used the twine, cut six 10-foot long lengths and twisted them up into two ropes. I then tied them to a storage tote and pushed it out the front door. It slid on the ice up to the front gate, and I was able to get deliveries that way.

My neighbor thought it was the most hilarious thing she’d ever seen.

But it worked. Which was the most important. I nearly ran out of cat food.

Bought that twine years ago.
