Worn out
Posted by doggonedmysteries
We had another disappointing day. G and I arrived very early and had no early birds this time—wouldn’t you just know it!
I don’t normally do mornings but for DH I did get up early two days in a row for this. It was bad enough to drag myself out of bed after only two or three hours of sleep on Saturday but on Sunday, I got up an hour earlier. Six freaking a.m. I only do six freaking a.m. when I go to conferences!
We will probably do at least one more day of this next weekend. There goes another day of my life I’ll never get back.

Good news and more

I’ve already had some inquiries into items we have listed for the house clean out on Craig’s list. It would be exciting to have many people show up and buy, buy, buy. We sure do want to have the house empty, empty, empty so the painters can come.
Yesterday I spent the day attempting to catch up on a few household chores. DH is happy that he has clean clothes. The fish are happy now that they’ve had their filters backwashed and fresh water added to the pond. The pups were thrilled that they had me to tease and harass non-stop all day.
The gardens are happy since I watered. I do need to buy some mulch so they don’t dry as fast as they have been. Once I’m done over at the MIL’s house, I will do that.

Almost done!

Another day of setting things up and marking them for the sale and with only one more day for us to work on it we think we’ve done quite well. The ninth and tenth will get here before we know it.
We sorted through some lovely old linen table cloths, napkins, lace doilies, cut work lace, and other assorted goodies marking them as we went along. We have them displayed in the master bedroom.
I hope the Lane chest sells for a decent price. The sofa and lounge chair are like new and are rather modestly priced so they ‘should’ sell. The small chest freezer is new, we bought it for his mother, and she only used it for a few months.
We found a ton of old records that we have set up in boxes, which makes it easy to flip through the titles. The number of cookbooks we put out for sale for someone who was mediocre cook amazed us.
I hope someone wants the two tool chests in the basement. We have no place to put them in our home.
We’ll be back over there on Wednesday to finish setting up and marking things. Then on Saturday and Sunday, we’ll be ready to go at nine in the morning. This means I won’t be getting any sleep until Monday.
