MONDAY AND TUESDAY, HUBBY AND I WORKED EXTREMELY HARD EMPTYING A STORAGE UNIT. Not done, but getting close. Made great headway in the heat. We'd work a little and then rest in an air conditioned car or our house. Both days we took an afternoon NAP to cool off and to get recharged so we could work some more.
I will polish and clean-up some of the furniture and knick knacks on Wednesday so the items are in good repair for the next owners.
With our hip, ankle and knee issues, we're a pair. Moving slow, but moving. Between the two of us, we've got our health issues and it's challenging.
He plans on rounding up stuff from the garage to get the items out of there. This will only make a small dent in the garage as it is a complete mess, but we're working on it. We've started. With the SUMMER HEAT coming, we'll have to work in the early mornings and late afternoons. A little here and a little there each day. Two storage units, a garage, a she shed, a cellar, and a tool shed ALL NEED DRASTIC ATTENTION.
I have to remind myself that we are having to do this clean out in stages. I can't linger on this too long or I get really overwhelmed as there is more than I can do by myself. Just me and HUBBY and we are old. I have to slow the boat down and be realistic.
After this week-end, we're planning on clearing out the garage to where muscle racks line the walls. I will fill the shelves as staging place. After the racks are filled, the in town storage unit should be completely emptied. Any whoo, the main thing is to clean out the garage and store items in it that I am not ready to completely turn loose of, empty the in town storage unit and empty the out of town unit.
Salvation Army, Goodwill, God's Storehouse, etc. will be getting more donations.
MONDAY NIGHT AFTER WE WORKED ALL DAY, a ferocious wind storm with rain blew in. We think the wind was 65 mile an hour or so. It was horrific. Next day tree branches were down throughout our small-town America. Some complete trees were uprooted. More thunderstorms are coming.
I need my rest. Tomorrow we continue on the getting rid of stuff.
I'm battling with this. Lord, please make the decisions easy for me so I can move forward.
