Day 85

Day 85

Saturday, June 21, 2014

In the morning I pushed myself to purge a few more things .. about 3 more boxes, plus an old shelf unit that had seen better days.  TGF came late morning and collected those things, and the kittens.

In the mid afternoon, my niece got here .. and brought BoJangles with her.  Yay!  We’ve been able to talk out a lot of potential issues, and make (tentative) decisions about what will or won’t work in the apartment.  Not saying there won’t be any problems; but I think we can work them out.

In late afternoon TGF brought a few things and the folding tables back.  The yardsale is actually continuing today too, but DGS15 was too hot and tired for a 3^rd day.  Not a problem, he made me $108, and a lot of stuff went out the door never to come back. 

After pulling out more donation stuff (since they weren’t doing another yardsale day), I also managed to get a few boxes packed.  I have 3 “cubby” units that are empty except some books to be gone through.  I will get my niece to help with that … I want to make a list of the ones hardest to give up so I can see if there’s an audible version to pput on a wish list.

Oh, nearly forgot, he gave away one of the kittens, but the other came back home.  We let him play inside for a long time .. afraid he’d be lonely without his play mate.  But he seemed quite happy playing by himself.  I put him back outside with mama just before dark .. but really need to find him a home quickly.  Maybe today I can get a picture to put on FB. 

In the evening DN(iece) and I made some sausage dip.  We’d both been eating chicken, so most of it went into the fridge for today.  NOT a problem! J

She helped me sort through a box of computer disks.  There are only a few that are pictures that I’ll keep.  She found some she wanted; and the rest I think will go in the donation boxes.

I feel like I did get a lot done yesterday.  But when I write it out all disjointed, it doesn’t sound like much at all.  And yet it feels like it was a fairly productive day.  I was busy enough to not have time (or energy) to get spells of depression.  And while I’m not very happy with TGF/DSS right now, at least I mostly didn’t dwell on it.  And it helps that I have potential solutions to problems they have caused.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to get my system to get into a better routine.  I stayed awake a bit later last night since I had someone to talk to; but nevertheless .. this morning I was awake long before daylight.  I tried to stay put; but after nearly an hour of fidgeting, I gave up and got up … and it was only just before 5:00. L

I don’t know what we’ll do today; but by process of elimination, I’m thinking the best option might be dealing with kitchen cabinets … and taking pictures of some things to list on the online yardsales.  There are things that are too good to just throw away, but I don’t really need to keep or put in storage. 

My head just isn’t working right this morning.  I need to just walk away from the computer, get a shower, and get this day started one way or another!
