Day 139
wEDNESday, August 13, 2014
Yesterday was extraordinarily busy!! I got us all off to a late start .. and looks
like I’m close to doing that again today.
I didn’t get up until 7:00, which is late for me .. now I need to really
hustle!
We (and by “we” I man DB & SIL!!) moved the furniture
out of this room, then started on the upstairs.
They brought down many boxes and random items, and I went through as
much as I could. The give away pile is
again taking over; but the storage pile is also getting too big. I’m trying, really trying, to eliminate more
than I keep; but I guess I’m not doing a good enough job of that.
My SIL (DH’s sister) came over, and she helped me with
sorting a lot of the boxes.
There are still 5 more boxes to go through, 2 more on the
landing; and many many more upstairs that I MUST find time to go through. Not to mention the trees; although I mostly
have already decided about trees. DB
dismantled all the shelving units so that they can be reassembled in the
storage unit.
Today I will have to call ReStore and make arrangements for
a pick up. I also have to call the
people who bought the table to see when they are coming. It needs to be gone now!
Sadly, DB/SIL have to go home this morning. I will
miss their company; I will also miss their helping me keep moving and advising
me what I need to get done in what order.
I have a clear “picture” in my
mind of what I need to get done over the next 10 days (the 11th day
is MOVING DAY). There are a couple of “day
trips” that I have to make, so that’s going to leave me about 7 to 7 ½ days to
finish. Geez, 3 months ago I thought I
had SO much time (although, admittedly, I didn’t think I would have to sort the
upstairs. Originally I though it could
all be put in storage and sorted later .. didn’t realize I couldn’t afford a
storage unit that big!!). Well, I will
still have until the middle of September if I need it (considering I will only
have weekends when someone can take me back and forth to do more).
This morning I need to get in the shower and get moving!!!
