PRAISE THE LORD! The storage unit is empty. EMPTY! I stood inside the unit for a very short time after emptying her to admire a EMPTY STORAGE UNIT #42. Temps outside were HOT and worse inside the unit so I didn't stay long admiring something that took us 3 years to make happen. Now a memory. Praise the LORD.
3 years ago we loaded the unit with our better furniture that would not fit into the COTTAGE that we were not ready to get rid of. The unit is ready for somebody else to rent out and we can keep our money to use for something else. $$$$$$$$$$$
Since it is MOVE IN WEEK for college kids at KSU, it was impossible to rent a moving van over the week-end. We tried on Saturday and got nowhere. Everything was reserved. Out of luck.
We tried RESTORE and their driver had a broken knee cap so no driver/truck was available to pick up our donation. We needed a van to take the sofa to GOODWILL. That's all we had left to get rid of. One sofa. We'd have to wait until Monday morning to get a van. The Hardware store where the moving vans/trucks are to rent were so busy it was a ZOO. We had a break-through and managed to load the sofa in the back of the truck with ease. Next, the sofa went to GOODWILL. Took the truck to get fueled. Took truck back to store. It took a long time to get it checked back in.
When it was finished...it was finished. Tadaah.
We have been into our 9th week of working on cleaning out this place. 9th. NOTE TO SELF: Let that soak in. This has been our late Spring/Summer project. Mission accomplished. Congrats to us. A job well done. I'm stunned that we made it. STUNNED.
OH SO HAPPY THIS IS BEHIND US!!!!!
Afterwards, we went to MENARDS to get some African Violet Potting Soil. They did not have any. Disappointed, I had to decide what the next step is to get my hands on some. We went to a beautiful Nursery elsewhere and bought some. This week, I will hopefully be repotting my African Violets in new soil and give them a squirt of liquid plant food. If I can keep the Violets alive, I believe I will be quite glad that I have not killed these lovely plants.
HERE I SIT. Prepping for the colonoscopy I'll have later in the week. My system is really slow to clean out, so I have been prepping since last Thursday. I went on a low residue diet and have been taking Miralax each day for nearly a week. It's not working like I thought it would. Shucks. Two days of liquid diet instead of one. humpf.
Today, I have not eaten. Sipped Green Tea and water. Tonight will be vegetable broth for supper. Yummers. I have to tell myself that I am disciplined and can do this NOT EATING THING.
I looked in the pantry and noticed I have boxed soups that I can have after the colonoscopy. This is a JUMP START for me to work toward losing weight. Another attempt in this BATTLE OF THE BULGE. I might as well as I have had to change my food program doing a LOW RESIDUE DIET for a week for prepping. If I stay busy, the day will go fast and I will be alright with not eating.
Time for OFF GRID WITH DOUG AND STACY on YouTube. They're talking about water quality in their area. Makes sense.
