We ended our work week on Friday sitting outside in the cool of the day. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were spent digging into two storage units and a garage. Twas HOT, so we cooled off when we could, rested and worked all in one movement. We're inching along on the clean-up. Inching very slowly.
Hubby had Physical Therapy on Thursday and left with exercise instructions that he is to do between medical visits. I pray these treatments help heal him as he has suffered with his knee. Shall see how this journey goes.
On Friday, we got up before the sun and sit up for a YARD SALE. The traffic has been steady and now it's time to close for the afternoon. We'll cover things up and do it all again tomorrow. I might gather up some more things this evening and place them out in the morning. I know that in a few months after we continue to clean out the storage units and garage that we will have more stuff to turn loose of.
As for the Friday yard sale, I met and visited with four of the neighborhood women that I had not visited with before so this was pleasant. Janice, Janice, Elaine and Lisa. New friends?
The heat takes a toll on me and I move really slow turning red in the face. This morning it was awesome. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL outside. I lost count of how many people stopped by to check out the yard sale. The best part of having a yard sale is visiting with the people. After the hustle 'n bustle of gathering items, cleaning them, marking them and sitting up, the reward is visiting with the people.
I don't believe we have ever had a two day sale so this is different for me. I'm not sure we'll do this again. Ever, but for now, we are doing it. Like I said...after we get the storage units cleared out, we may have some things to let go of. I wish it were behind us.
We're nearly into the month of July. June is half over. Two family birthdays are approaching. Got my Son's card mailed to him. A Sister-In-Law's needs mailed. Time gets away from me.
Doing life in stages. First we completely clean out the garage and storage units. Reorganize. Downsize the SEASONAL DECOR in the cellar. Remodeling will take place as I go. This is the tricky one. When we get this sale out of the way, we'll start in on the garage. The TV room will be emptied and painted? Shelves will be built. The carpet will be torn up and a judgement call will be made about the flooring. Do we carpet the room or strip the original wood floor and refinish it??? We have an area rug that would work.
This adventure is unfolding as I go.
