That's great, Tillie! Sometimes tired and sore is worth it. Today we got 2 truckloads in storage, 1 truckload to dump. | |

Hi Dianne 🙂 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 24 September 2013 - 07:33 PM |
Laura and I put in several hours of work today. We loaded books in the back of the truck and empty boxes in the back seat. I KNEW my box hoard would come in handy one day. Big smile. We took 4 boxes from Costco that their brand of Kleenex comes in and 4 boxes from Petsmart that x-large potty pads come in. Got to the storage unit and took many flatbed carts of books in. Then the fun part. That's a true statement, no sarcasm. Laura loves to organize and I love to arrange. She got books sorted by type and author and I got them packed by size. We got 6 1/2 boxes snugly fit and stacked. I'm trying not to get the itchy feeling that comes with something not being perfect. Because I know we have many more books that should go with some of the ones already packed. We agreed we could only take back 3 books each. My 3 are for the grandkids that I will leave at their house for bedtime reads. We knew we couldn't lift packed boxes which is why we had to do many small loads. For someone else it may have taken 30 minutes. For us it was several hours. But we felt so good and proud of ourselves and taking our time and being careful of our backs was not stressful at all. 🙂 Liquids and food are not allowed in the storage areas so afterwards we went to the office and had cups of ice cold water. So good! Then we treated ourselves by splitting a small coke and medium fries at Burger King. | |

GREAT JOB Tillie! 😀 Tomorrow you'll be passed 100 🙂 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 😀 | |

WOW! WAY TO GO Dianne! 😀 Your grand total is 57+ 🙂 THAT'S FANTASTIC! 😀 KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 😀 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 23 September 2013 - 10:58 AM |
Way To Go! Dianne 🙂 4 more bags of trash | |
| Dianne | Posted: 22 September 2013 - 04:51 PM |
8 more white bags, 2 more black. I also worked out the shortest route to the storage unit. It's very, very clear that my main hoard is clothes. | |
| Dianne | Posted: 22 September 2013 - 03:21 PM |
Got out 5 more black bags, 19 white bags. Some were cushions from beach furniture. And 3 large boxes of legal papers. | |
| Dianne | Posted: 22 September 2013 - 11:55 AM |
Added 5 more black trash bags. Laura went with her dad to a Raven's game, everybody else is busy with fun Sunday stuff. I'm only able to move bags about 10 feet at a time and need a break. It's good seeing one type of thing all together (like clothes) and see how crazy much of it there is. And those bags don't even scratch the surface. WTF Just trying to keep the focus simple and not overthink it. So glad I have you guys to absorb spilling my racing thoughts. | |
| Dianne | Posted: 22 September 2013 - 11:34 AM |
What a great idea Tillie, to fill the buckets with donations! I don't want to recycle them in a trash place because the buckets are so useful as is. And the snap lids are just as solid. I have 13 white trash bags of clothes and two black trash bags ready to load in truck. I'm being careful of my back and will probably wait on the guys for the books. | |
| Tillie | Posted: 21 September 2013 - 03:49 PM |
YEA! Dianne 😀 I also pour other bags/boxes of litter into mine. | |
| Dianne | Posted: 21 September 2013 - 10:19 AM |
Tillie I have about a dozen of those. They are so sturdy. I pour the litter from regular bags in there and stack them. But you're right I don't need so many either. I'll work on getting rid of some this week. | |
| Tillie | Posted: 20 September 2013 - 05:15 PM |
Since I last posted I have tossed another Previous total = 84 😀 | |

Lets see.... | |

The refrigerator was an old, somewhat functional but partly broken and filthy one that I had put outside when I got a new refrigerator in. Sears wouldn't take it (took my other appliances) because it was dirty and they do reconditioning. Anyway, it still brings me pleasure to look out my back door and see tree leaves instead of that ugly thing. | |
| MayMay | Posted: 13 September 2013 - 01:54 AM |
GREAT JOB Roxie! 😀 Why did you decide to get rid of your refrigerator?... Did it break or something? 🙂 | |
| Roxie | Posted: 12 September 2013 - 03:32 PM |
Wow, Tillie, you are doing great. For me today: one refrigerator YESSSSSSSSSSSS | |
| MayMay | Posted: 12 September 2013 - 01:52 AM |
