Home stuff
I'm pooped. Worked hard for many hours on my day off, and while I have made some progress, some of my work has been the equivalent of re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Renos have most of the house upside down. A huge pile of firewood needs to be stacked, a pile of garbage needs to go to the dump. where are my minions?!!
I've been fighting the clutter monster today. It would go faster if I could just toss stuff, but I can't. There is furniture, various bits and bobs of electronic stuff, old cell phones, an antique cast iron pedestal sink. Took pictures and will post them online to see if anyone want to buy them, or just take them away. sighs
Then there is the double bed that is covered in sheets, blankets, pillows etc. When the downstairs flooded I tossed them out of the blanket box to lighten it, so I could drag it out, now I have to go thru it all and perhaps cull it to the bare minimum.
One bedroom needs the floor re-painting. Second bedroom, needs to be scrubbed - some mildew on the wall and floor in one corner, then the room re-painted, ceiling, walls and floor. Third bedroom is ready for a bed and some curtains.
I put the cover on the bedroom air-conditioner in my room, ran the carpet cleaner over the stain Bram left a few weeks ago, the day after I loaned the carpet cleaner to neighbor of course. Another two huge bags of clothes, that don't fit, are ready for the next WLS support group meeting clothing swap. I am down to two pair of dress pants, one pair of work pants, one pair of jeans, a pair of cords and another pair of grubby ones for mucking about. Good thing my social life is next to non-existent- nothing to wear really. Wearable sweaters, t-shirts and blouses have been drastically reduced, while boobs are hanging in there the loss of my belly and back fat, have made many tops too baggy. I know I shouldn't complain. I need to get re-fitted for bras, my underbust measurement has gone down several inches. I think that's why my back is hurting more lately, damn tits dragging. There are a few dresses, tops etc that I am not looking forward to getting rid of. I love them. Might consider getting them altered.
