GGGRRRR! I can’t get used to this keyboard and keep deleting
what I don’t want too and not deleting what I want to. Can’t find the end key
or the delete key - unless I don’t want it. Why aren’t all keyboards the same?
We haven’t even settled on a realtor yet and I’m already
exhausted. All I’ve done is clean the fan blades in the kitchen and pack two
boxes! One is full of tiny collected pigs and magnets. Do I really, really want
to drag them across country? Yep, I think I do. And one box full of framed
pictures of the family that were all hanging on one wall. Got to remove the
“personal” stuff for showing the house. Anyway that’s what they say on HGTV.
Wish we could get one of those programs to come here and do everything. Now we
need to go to town and get some packing supplies - tape for the boxes a magic
maker so we know what is in the boxes and some bubble wrap or something similar
to protect stuff.
Our gardener was here today and he is going to take one of
the big work tables from the garage and one piece of furniture - a cedar chest
I bought with my first pay check right out of high school - so you know how old
that is. It’s just been sitting in the garage since we moved here - empty. At
one time, probably about 15 years ago, I decided I wanted to antique it - got
about half way and never finished.
We got some rain overnight so that was good for the new
plants outside and a little while ago it was sprinkling out. Now the sun is out
but the wind has really come up and we’re supposed to get heavy rain. Good.
Had no sooner written that then it began to pour and
thunder. Then the TV beeped with a tornado watch until later this evening. Gotta
love Indiana weather.
And we have settled on a realtor. She says she’ll be by on Wednesday
with a “To do” list before the pictures of the house are taken. Boy I don’t
want to see that list.
It is really going to be hard to decide what to keep and
ship and what to get rid of. So many things we’ve collected in our travels. But
do we really need it? No. Is it worth shipping it? I guess if we haven’t used
it since we’ve been here we can get rid of it. A garage sale? Donate it? Have a
company sell everything? I can feel sleepless nights coming up. My big problem
is I think stuff is worth a lot more than we’ll get for it if we sell it. I
have a big set of Syracuse China that is 70 years old and another set of Franciscan
Apple design. Both are on line for quite a bit of money - but they are on-line
- because they haven’t sold...
Cleaned out my closet and have two huge bags for Goodwill of
clothes I wore to work. Why did I bring them to Indiana? Plus they don’t fit
any more...One more thing done.
Got a Mother's Day picture of two of our sons. Wow - both have gray beards! Am I that old?
Just be brutal with the stuff!! Most people nowadays aren't interested in fine china. A friend took mine. And you're right it's all worth a lot less than you think.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a hard few months - deciding and then packing and then unpacking. When did I get so old?
