Speaking of Activity!!
Wild weekend, but not the kind of wild weekend I used to look forward to. We had the big moving sale Friday and Saturday as planned. I got lots of help from lots of friends or I would never have made it. Especially from the Pecos crew!! BTW, for those on other blogs who wonder who the newest major commentor is, that should give you a clue.
We actually managed to turn a 20'x60' shop FULL of stuff into a tidy sum of cash. When I looked at the formidable task on Monday, I did not see how it could possibly be done. I was actually almost in tears when I looked at what had to be done. But through some miracle and the major efforts of several friends, as I said, we "gotter done"! I actually could not believe how much was accomplished in 1 day. It actually took all week to get it ready, but I kind of slacked off on Thursday cause things were in such good shape. We got hit pretty hard on Friday. It was really like sharks circling, but I didn't really mind if they had cash in their pockets. We quit a little early Friday cause it was hot and no one had come in a while. I would have been happy with the results of that one day, actually. We cleaned up a little more and got ready for Saturday and had another good day. When it was over, we only had 1 load for the dump and took one pickup load and 1/2 the back of my Tahoe to the "Operation Blessing" place. YeePee!! That was such a major load off our backs.
The next major task was this office. Holy Cow!! I can't believe the stuff I was hording. It's in the dumpster now. I have 10 file drawers in this office. Half of them are empty now. That feels good.
Tomorrow is the last little chore. We have to be video'd for that training thing. I still don't exactly know what it is for, but the producer if flying in from St. Louis or somewhere and a film crew is meeting her here. Wish they could doctor the pics and shave 25 lbs off me. Larry lost it and I gained it in all the stress and work. Oh well, it cuts down on wrinkles.
I have some of the same crew coming to help me pack on Tuesday. We will pack everything we can that we don't need in the next 2 weeks and take it down this weekend. I may have to leave early to meet with the builder and plumber on some stuff. I don't know what my schedule will be like from here out, but I will be here for Larry's big retirement celebrations on September 28th. They are having one for him at City Hall, and a dinner that evening. I'm not sure what all will be happening, but it will be a bitter-sweet affair I'm sure.
That is about all I have for now. The countdown is really on and short now.
