Current Mood : Wiped clean out !
It was a good
day for a Garpartment cleaning. Not so good for Dearest Son, who’s skating too
close to the edge of getting his old bedroom back for not taking care of his
new one. But we got some heavy lifting done, and this week, we’re gonna do a
unit on Home Ec., starting with Organization. His homework for tomorrow is to
draw up what he wants where on The Wall of Bookcases, which we created today.
All his toys, books, videos, and just plain stuff has to fit in The Wall somewhere
– and since there’s four bookcases, including one that’s double-wide with
drawers, he has plenty of space. He just has to decide how best to use it all,
and how to arrange it so he can get to it and put it all away.
When all
that’s done, the space behind the bookcases is storage, and it’s already
half-filled with dozens of boxes and things BIL and Uncle left behind. Neither
of them really moved out, they just took the stuff they wanted and left. I
can’t begin to describe all that got left behind. Mostly because I have no idea
what most of it even is. Lots of aquarium stuff, plenty of water filters, some
musical miscellany, including speakers I can perch on ‘cause they’re butt-high
and weigh nearly what I do…the rest of it’s a head-scratcher.
I’m just hoping
there’s space for my doll prop box and memory stuff, and that I can get to it
when it’s all over. My stuff’s been indoors since the move, under a ton of
other boxes. Since I’m probably gonna be the one moving it all, I can at least
put it where I decide, so there’s hope ! And when our stuff’s moved to its new
place, FIL has a ton of stuff in the kitchen that’s ready to fill that vacant
spot. Whew.
Spring
Cleaning is always serious business, wherever Chez Insanity is.
Beloved Hubby
even tumbled to the sneaky secret fabric stash I had in Starlight’s trunk. It
got moved out yesterday, when we couldn’t fit the groceries in there, and I’ve
been tasked with using it up or donating it, my choice. It’s pretty much all
the material I culled when we moved here that I planned to put in the yard
sale. It didn’t sell, and I still have to do my VA volunteering with some of
it, so it got a reprieve. Now I gotta do something with it, if nothing else,
because it’s in a pair of plastic totes we can use. I’m wondering if I can cram
it in the closet…
