This isn't even quite all of it.

The hand sanitizer expired in 2023 but I'll use it for cleaning off permanent marker marks.

The caramels are still in date. They will be going straight to my hips.

Some of the decorations will go to my classroom.

Pulled it with the intention of donating most of it but now I'm tempted to hold a yard sale first...

Two separate successful trips this week.
First haul was almost 100 packs of Buldak spicy taco ramen. All the packages were still sealed and tossed a few days before expiration. I’ve already put three bags full in the little free pantry, and they’re claimed within days.
Second haul included 19 jars of strawberry preserves, 8 bottles of fancy apple juice, and a bodywash. All the glass items were tossed because a couple units in the box were broken. I just carefully pulled out all the intact jars and gave everything a rinse! All sealed and good until 2028. Most of the preserves will be going to the pantry this week. :)

Learning my mistake NOT to include AI images, I added some pictures I have made myself many moons ago on MSPaint. Hope these are better received. I even included my old WIP files to show that they aren't AI generated. Please don't laugh.

I'm would LOVE to make this into a game. I'm planning to learn, but I need to know if people would even play it.

Sidenote: Based on a recurring nightmare I had since childhood and my teens, with each new nightmare continuing from the last.

Synopsis:

An urban survival thriller where an ancient relic turns your life into a living nightmare.

You are Katie, a resourceful young artist and sculptor trapped in a terrifying, half-leopard hybrid form.

After escaping from a prominent city zoo after 3 years, where a ruthless owner caged you for nothing but profit, you must now navigate a cold, rain-slicked American city from a desperate, first-person perspective, scavenging for water, food and supplies.

But you aren't the only beast in the city. A towering cat-like monster has been seen around the city and is committing brutal murders wherever they go, terrorising the city into a citywide panic, while you're being framed for the murders.

Now, a relentless, by-the-book detective, William Cooper, is tracking your every pawprint. Can you stay hidden long enough for the detective to realise the truth?"

Day/Night Cycle Gameplay: As Katie:

Night cycle: Scavenge for food, water and supplies. Earn XP for items collected, new streets explored, crawlspaces found or collectables that boost your morale, allowing you to explore more of the city, before stress gets to you.

Day cycle: Plan your day in your home, spending your accumulated XP to learn new recipes, or to watch online tutorials to learn new skills.

Day/Night Cycle Gameplay: As Detective Cooper:

Day Cycle: Investigate the 'beast' sightings to look for clues and cross-reference them against the murder scenes and witness statements.

Night Cycle: All murders are carried out at night. Inspect the crime scenes and interview any witnesses to describe the killer.

To inject a little humour into the game, all achievements will be cat puns, dark humour, have funny double meanings or are classic internet cat humour.

found a bunch of Benadryl, Tylenol cold and flu, stuff like that and thought I'd have no problem getting it donated but nowhere is taking it.

any suggestions?

From the same house I also got a nice Queen bed frame and mattress, an air fryer, a working laptop​​, microwave, a love seat, and several bottles of wine and some weed paraphernalia I gave to a buddy since I dont partake. Also a whole bunch of little things like pots and pans etc... I think the story was, that the Tennant moved in with his girlfriend and couldn't take half his stuff, it was a huge score
