Day 83
Thursday, June 19, 2014
My life is like ketsup.
Shake, shake ketsup bottle;
None’ll come and then a lot’ll.
So yesterday started way too early .. at one point I even misread
the clock by an hour, so was “ahead” all
morning. Good thing I use the alarm
clock to help me remember eye drops … that got me back “on track”. Of course, I didn’t get very much done. The last of the plastic boxes I have are
packed, and I have nothing left but shoe box size.
In the afternoon .. around 2:00 I think … TGF came over with
DGS15 and a friend. She brought
boxes!! So first, she put prices on the
yard sale stuff and we packed it up. The
boys took things out to the car. They
also gathered up a lot of bigger items.
Then she took pictures of all the cameeras … they will be put up on
ebay. I don’t exect much, but anything
at all will help. I kind of hate that it
will mean every time one sells, she will have to go box and ship it .. but it
was her idea (and buyer pays shipping).
She had thought DSS would come over after work with the
truck; but he’d had to fix the water pump, and it got late. She took the boys on home so she could fix
supper for her crew.
They came back (TGF, DSS, the 2 boys) a little after
8:00. They finished loading everything
else, including the folding tables. It
was getting very dark and thundery, and some lightening, by the time they left
around 9:00.
There were storms during the night … all I can do is hope
nothing got rain damaged, nothing to be done about it. There’s no way anyone can ever plan a giant
yard sale and be sure of the weather.
Today will probably be OK, though
there could be a stray afternoon shower.
Tomorrow might be tricky, looking more and more like a rainy day. Just have to wait and see.
Once all that was done and they were gone, I shut everything
down. As usual, I dozed off during the
10:00 show; but woke up for the news.
Which I turned off, too tired to care!
I did wake during the night to hear the thunder and rain. And I didn’t wake until 6:30, which is great.
Today might be a little busy later. This morning a friend is coming to visit, so
I’ll do nothing but visit and talk for awhile.
Later in the afternoon TGF will come get me (and possibly the baby
kittens) and we’ll go check out how the boys are doing; give them the kittens to give away (might not
be easy, DSS said he’d already seen numerous signs for “free kittens” where
people were starting to set up last night); and then she’ll take me to the
grocery store. In between, hopefully I’ll
start to figure out what to start on.
I’ve more or less decided that the things upstairs will have
to go into storage for the time being.
It’s just way too hot to spend enough time up there to sort. It will be hard enough just bringing it down!
So if I don’t stress over that for now, the big things to deal with are the
kitchen and my computer room. I’m not going to worry about either one of those
this morning at least.
This day could start earlier than some have lately, so I’ll
go on and get myself in gear. I hope I
can manage to be relaxed enough to just sit and visit and not even think about
all that needs to be done … I do still
have 2 months to do it!!
