Day 88
Tuesday, June 24, 2014
I’m still not completely happy with what I consider a lack
of rogress, but in the end I guess a lot did get done yesterday. I just keep finding it discouraging how many
things I think I should be able to do, and then it turns out for one reason or
another I need help. (and I don’t
understand why there are some who seem to think that if I say I need help with
something, they seem to think doing something like learning braille is the
answer. In the first place, how am I
supposed to get anywhere, and in the 2nd place, how would that help
me pack?) I did drag out a lot of linens
… more than I originally planned, and more than I even realized I had. Some of it I could sort with no problem; but
it surprised and depressed me how many things were difficult to determine (ie.,
matching sheets and pillow cases). I’m
reasonably sure I have them sorted and have packed up the items I want to
keep.
TGF got here around 2:30ish.
She had not been able to get any boxes., so we concentrated on the
yardsale stuff. With her help I finished
the sorting. I gave her the sheet sets
that fit the bed I gave them. I had sent
it to DSS’s house to store when DH had to be changed to a hospital bed. But I have no need or room for it, and with
all those boys, they can use it. So I
gave her the sheets that fit it. But
loads of random pillow cases, curtains, and tablecloths went into the mix.
I had moved the photo albums off the hall shelf unit, so
while TGF put prices on things I started moving books. We’re trying to get them all consolidated in
one place, and also keep the ones separate that she will be taking to her
classroom. Two areas have now been
cleared of books. The set of cubbies in
the computer room is now nearly empty.
There are 2 or 3 canvas boxes that still have things to be sorted out,
and that’s all.
I’ve had people ask me about selling things I hadn’t
originally planned to sell; but then I can’t get any follow up
information. And the people who bought
the table still haven’t called or shown up.
I hope they don’t show up today, because I won’t be here. I have no way to get in touch with them (but
they have my number).
My SIL called .. she had, of course, completely forgotten
about having said she’d come over.
Again. But since I expect that,
it was OK. She’s not in good health
either; and has adamantly refused to commit to helping me in any way, because
her schedule is so busy.
Maybe I should try to write at night more often. I seem to wake up grumpy a lot. I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night;
at least, I don’t think I did. But I was
awake way before 6:00. I have an eye
doctor appointment this afternoon, so not being in a hurry this morning. But I do need to go on and get
organized. I will be at DSis’s house
tonight, and not home until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
I need to go get busy doing something while the washer runs,
and then get a shower.
