Working Working Working Garage is cleaned out ... no small task ... seems I am a packrat and my A is a slob One large trailer, one strong brother, one sweeping mother, and one father who looked in every box (I now know where i absorbed the packrat thing from) one more father to supply the trailer and take over the burden of dumping it.
I have a clean bathroom, kitchen and don't wince ... found and washed almost 25 loads of my As laundry .... EEEEEK I would have left them but I felt sorry for innocent people coming to look at the house. They may have been attacked by a sock that evolved into something that could move on it's own.
More cleaning more cleanign more cleaning .... if you don't hear from me for a couple days ... SEND HELP I am probably stuck in a bucket or under a heap of garbage bags.
Wow! Isn't it amazing what we can accomplish on our own and with the help of loved ones? It always seems it is us cleaning up the A's mess. I would have thrown out the clothes. Sounds like garbage to me. Keep taking care of you!
Have actually found some old boxes of CRAP... haven't even looked inside, just thought to myself, "This can't be anything useful to me, or I'd have missed WHATEVER IS IN THERE, RIGHT???... AND JUST THREW THEM OUT, WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING PAST THE TOP LAYER OF STUFF!!! WHOAHHH.... THAT TOOK SOME SERIOUS LETTING GO AND TRUSTING in the 'Power of the Pitching Session'... so deeply therapeutic....
You all better be careful ... I could use a few vacations, never been to Washington DC and the last time I was in Florida I got bit by a duck so the state should show me a better time next time LOL
Joni I really like the "Power of the pitching session" It does feel good. I rented this big storage unit for my stuff and am proud to say I have lots of room left, and not too much more to move. More than I think probably but it seems like not too much anyway.
well, you can come here to Akron Ohio area at any time...

OH that sounds like a good time! I was in Cleveland a few years ago, loved the people and the city. Right about now I would be glad to be anywhere else. Still plugging away at the cleaning, but now I think it is time for a long soak in the tub. Hopefully I won't make it dirty all over again LOL
