I just wanted alone time....

I woke up to my husbands alarm. Snooze. I get up go to the bathroom, I can't fall back asleep. Played some phone games, checked the clock. ...He's not going into the office... I tap him and ask when he was planning on getting up because its 530 already. He said he was going to work remotely today because he didn't get a good nights sleep. Understandable, because he drives about an hour into work and he doesn't like driving tired. I'm pissed, not at him, at the situation. I scheduled the day off today on a day he would go into the office, my kids would be in school, I would have the house to myself! QUIET. No one calling my name, no one needing anything, I can make myself whatever I wanted to eat, no questions about this and that. Organize the house without being interrupted because between working full time, and sports and games every weekend, who has time. NOPE. Not today! I haven't had a day off TO MYSELF in a decade. Since I had kids, I would hoard my days because my sick days were not for me, it was for them. It wasn't until my husband started working hybrid positions and our kids were old enough to home with him while he was working remotely (when they were sick). Last year, was the first time I actually had days I could use for myself because every year prior was used for sick days, appointments that were out of the way, and I would save one week for a family vacation. I just wanted a day alone.. And because of scheduling conflicts with my work calendar - I can't look at taking off until July! So yea.... excuse me, gonna go cry now...

I work for a small family owned business as their accounting&collections/office admin. I have a good reputation here, good working relationship with my boss/the owner, and everyone else here including customers. I haven't had a raise in 3 years. I don't know how to ask for a raise. I can't just walk in her office and ask bc anyone in earshot will hear the conversation, going behind a closed door, everyone can see we are in there talking, its a giant fishbowl! If we walk off to go to a private room to speak, again, everyone will notice...and well...I hate office chatter.. Would it be silly to write an email? I also feel like with my role, there is not much growth. In the years I've been here, there hasn't been much change to the role, no added work, I've asked if there is ever an opportunity for me to take something off my bosses plate, let me know. So, I fear that they may say no, bc what have I done to earn the raise? Its just the COL is ridiculous...and I'd like to contribute more to retirement...I feel like I am fishing for reasons I need the raise.

Just as the titles states. Where is the best place to sell used furniture? I tried listing on FB and I'm pretty sure the guy was trying to scam me...(or worse) suggestions??
