big girl pants, blessed, car, family, garage, grandson, hung, mess, moments, organized, sorting, tools, weather, widow

nearly a year ago, my eldest grandson and I began working away in the garage… he has a very organized mind…

a few weeks later, we cleaned out a spot and moved the shelves further along the wall…

the next time we worked in it, after purchasing additional hardware, we attached hooks and hung up a number of garden and winter tools… like items were gathered together and placed on the shelves… we came in when we started to get cold…

we spent another few hours another day working away in the space… more tools were hung on the other side of the space, the garbage bin was filled with broken, unusable items, two boxes were filled with giveaway items and the bench had much more space…

great strides were made each time we were in there and we were able to get the car in when it was home over the winter…

then we didn’t do anything more, because it got warm and the car didn’t need to live inside…

so, maybe it got filled up with other stuff, lol…

over the summer, it was great to be able to find tools without effort…

big girl pants, cleaning, closet, food, found, ignoring, lost, moments, sorting, treat, widow

I spent the entire day working on a closet that I’ve been ignoring for years…

packed up a number of things; some games and toys going to someone I know who has people in mind; a picture for my grandson, and items to be given away…

I’ve also found a few things which I am going to put online… one is the massage table we covered with glass… I don’t need it and it is silly to keep it underneath a counter, lol…

I’ve done laundry, moved items to different areas, reorganized clothes and thrown items into the garbage… and found a few items that have been lost;-)…

I ordered sushi from one of my favourite places – Tokyo Sushi – which I didn’t know was available through SkipTheDishes… got enough for lunch and supper… it was the only break I took all day… I ordered the sushi pizza which is delicious… haven’t found any place else that makes it this good…

tomorrow I will finish… the closet and the sushi;-)…

big girl pants, pass-me-overs, sorting

this morning I put out two large bags and two boxes filled with pass-me-overs…

it is always so great when you can let go of stuff you don’t need…

I’d been gathering bits and pieces for a few months but hadn’t dealt with the collection… now I feel a bit lighter…

of course there is still tons of stuff to sort and pass along to others…

I hope they came this morning as this afternoon the snow came down again, can’t believe it…

declutter, George, missing my beloved, sorting, taxes

in the process of decluttering, I came across some sheet music books and the lovely recipe book from our cruise last May/June…

took them to work to share with my colleagues… always easier to let something go if you know it will have a good home…

reminded me of what a great time we had on the cruise and all the new experiences and fun we had…

just heard about my income taxes and I only owe a few hundred dollars this year… much less than last year when we had to file for George as well…

missing my beloved so much… some days it feels as though the pain is more than I can handle…

need to focus on the positives… like the fact that I actually finished the hallway shelves…
