We have GARAGE!!!
After at least 18 months, I can park my car in the garage again! The car's been in there since Sunday night, actually, due to the Herculean efforts of my husband (rearranging the remaining items to one side of the garage).
I also have access to my bicycle again - not that I'm planning to ride it until I"m in better shape/weather is warmer.
Getting rid of the excess furniture was slightly painful, but we donated as much as they would take to a Disabled Veterans' charity, and the rest went to the curb, where trash pickers took the rest (someone got a few hundred bucks worth of Ikea shelving for free).
I'm planning to tackle the upstairs "linen closet" over the weekend - that small room (it is a small room - 8 feet deep and 4 feet wide) is completely crammed full of... stuff. Including my Renaissance/Elizabethan corset that my daughter wants to borrow for the show next week.
Being "finished" with costume construction has certainly left me with more time than I know what to do with. I've been reading again, and not getting a whole lot done at home.
I can't seem to walk more than 30 minutes at a clip, but I am not discouraged about that. The blisters have turned to calluses, like they've done every time in the past. I just need to keep up the workouts every day and fall into some sort of routine. Now I'm dealing with muscle soreness in places that I didn't know could be sore. I know that, too, will pass. Just gotta work through it.
