Day 104
Thursday, July 10, 2014
Somewhere along the way I got my dates confused. That means I missed wishing my sister Happy
Birthday twice. I also missed a niece’s
birthday nearly a week ago. I’m not
doing very well this year.
It’s still only mid morning.
DGS got some dishes out of a cabinet in the laundry room for me to wash
up. They are 3 set of Christmas
china. Now, I have a very nice complete
set in another cabinet that will be packed and put in storage. These small sets have not been used for 2
years. So why am I so close to tears at
the prospect of letting go of them???
It’s stupid and I know it. I
shouldn’t have such an emotional attachment to dishes, not even Christmas
ones. I don’t really know what’s going
on, but I sure need to get my head straightened out.
It’s now late afternoon.
It’s been a very busy day! It was
around mid morning when TGF got here. We
started right in on pricing things. DGS
went to the barn and got the outdoor Christmas decorations out. I don’t know yet if I will “keep” any of it
(as in “donate” to family members so I can still enjoy them!) The only thing we haven’t finished doing was
pricing pots and pans. I’m working my
way through washing them up .. wow, I sure had a lot of stuff I’ve never
used!! A lot are old and worn, but would
be fine for someone looking for camping stuff, or maybe starter cookware for
someone heading off to college (in an apartment, not a dorm). At least, I hope so.
My SIL came over to pick blueberries (behind the barn). She didn’t get a lot, 2 of the bushes have
been cut down. Someone did that several
years ago, so they grow back eventually.
I don’t know why they cut down 2 again but left one. Weird.
By early afternoon I was hot, tired, and hungry .. so
splurged and sent TGF to McD for some lunch for us. Two cheeseburgers were very filling, so my supper tonight will be later than
usual.
A girlfriend called and I was on the phone with her for
awhile before TGF and DGS went home.
They’ll be back tomorrow to finish up pricing, and start getting things
organized to take to town for Saturday.
There’s a lot more yet to be done, but I don’t know how much
I’ll get done tonight. It’s been gray
and faintly thundery all day; but now storms are moving across. The TV goes in and out, and I won’t be
surprised if I lose internet connection at some point. It’s just too dark and stuffy in the house
for tonight. I hope to get a good start
in the morning on more things to be done.

So it’s Friday morning.
I actually did wash up a few more of the pots and pans, so this morning
I have sorted what to keep (nearly nothing) and have another batch drying. I got up a little after 5:00 … but that’s
after falling asleep during a 9:00 show, and again the 10:00 show … never saw
any late news at all. It’s taking me a
bit longer to wake up, but I don’t feel all over groggy at least.
It’s still early, but I have a long list of things to finish
getting done today. Plus TGF will be
over at some point to help finish pricing.
I need to go on and get the day started.
