Even though I’m all grown up (well, at least I hope so!), I still get excited over Spring Break. For the first time in at least 5 years, we headed south on I-65 to Gulf Shores, Alabama…a fairly easy 12-hour drive from Indy. The sad part is, we could only bring 2 of 3 children; the 3rd already had his college spring break. The good part is, we are having a great time anyway…eating lots of seafood, soaking up a few rays (well, it thunderstormed today…), and generally relaxing.
Relaxing….ahhhhhh….much needed break from reality!
Not the warmest of beach days, but I'm not complainin'
So far, so good for me. Not so, many friends. I guess I’m getting to ‘that age’…the one where our parents are starting to have serious health problems, and even die, and our friends are coming down with more serious illnesses. An old friend….maid of honor in my wedding….is battling cancer for the 3rd time; what’s fair about that?! I’m praying that they SOON find a good marrow donor match. Other friends with skin cancer…*ugh* its scarey. So, I’ve scheduled an appointment for a physical and another for the dermatologist. And, I’m back to the health club. Now…about that extra weight…ick.
Clean House, Trading Spaces, Fix My Ride….I don’t care what it is, I want somebody to come here to Indy and save me! I have a basement that is 1/2 finished, and the other half is my sewing/craft/beading room. Unfortunately ‘my’ room is also the cat litter room. And the furnace room. And storage for any furniture that didn’t fit in this house when we downsized. And anything else that needs to be stored, such as Christmas decorations, college photos, old pieces of carpet roll, twin sized mattresses, etc. UGH!!! HELP!!
Really, it is the most daunting task. I am just frozen and can’t do a thing. We’ll have to take everything out of the room first and that alone is huge…where do you put it all? I’ve never had ANY luck with garage sales; one sale I worked my butt off and made a grand total of $34. for an entire day’ s sale and the other was about $100. That, being part of a neighborhood sale, where there was supposed to be big traffic.
So…….help! While You Were Out really needs to make a stop here and save me from this disaster of a basement! I want to be able to sew again…and do crafty things…and make jewelry.
