Morning all.
Treyner and Dan are about 2 hours from home. Left Atlanta at 4 p.m. yesterday. Drove straight through minus a huge detour in Tennessee due to the freeway closing and flooding. They found a nice man who was heading the same way and was local and knew how to get them around the detour through higher roads.
The hotels along the interstate were packed I guess.
Sold about $400 in the garage sale. Good considering I have things marked to go. Name brand or not - t-shirts for $1, jeans for $3, TV's $2, stereo speakers .50 cents!
I just want all this crud gone! Combining 2 houses and all the random stuff really makes you know how much a person can waste that is nit needed.
Did not advertise just went with local traffic. Treyner is bringing a bunch of clothes he does not want and other things he now is realizing he does not need. Carsyn is de-cluttering her teenage girl hoarder status and Dan and I found more stuff we do not want either.
So next weekend, we will have one more sale - then donate the rest. I want to move in 5 years to the south so might as well start downsizing now. Saves me from deciding that later. In fact, when Dan and I are out on the town, we say, do we want this in 5 years? If no, the money we would have spent goes to our savings or to the vacation fund.
Ya know what is hard? Deciding what VHS movies to keep. We have so many Disney movies and the thought of ditching them makes me sick but I know that they are not long for the world.
Can I get VHS tapes made to DVD? Is it worth it? Maybe costs too much.
Anyway - the rest of the day will be spent with Treyner, thinking of getting my Dad and having him here for supper. I already have a huge brunch prepared for this morning and then Baylor has soccer scrimmage tonight so busy day.
Tomorrow - I am determined to start a routine that involves the YMCA in the morning and then 2 hours of writing time. Treyner wants to run to the Y in the morning, then work out. It is 4 miles total there and back. Maybe in a month after water aerobics and getting my stamina back up, I can work towards joining in that!
You shall get 1-2 chapters tom to read!
