We’ve lived in this house for 20 years, and it’s probably been 15 since the last time I gave the garage a good cleaning. So today I finally steeled myself to do it. It wasn’t easy, because I’m a master of finding better things to do – it’s been a week or so since the last time i paddled, and I’ve been casting longing looks at my V8 Pro all this time. But after literally years of false starts, I decided today I was going to do one side of the garage. Today is garbage day, so I decided I’d start on the easier side and just go until I tired out or the garbage tote was full, which ever came first. I got one bay almost completely done. I found a lot to throw away, as well as a few things related to my old Thunderbolt kayak that I’d like to find somebody to give to.
It was a lot of effort, especially in regard to my chronic pains and the heat and humidity. But I made the effort and I’m happy with what I accomplished. Two more days like this and it should be done. I’m not sure if I should wait until the next garbage day so I can throw stuff away immediately, or if I should just build a garbage pile and get it done while I’m still happy about what I’ve done so far.
