Cleaned out the garage today
Beautiful day today, so I cleaned out the garage. What a mess! The floor was covered with dirt, sawdust and leaves and the place was in complete disarray.
Plastic wheeled vehicles belonging to my daughters were strewn everywhere. Honestly, there is a Barbie bike, a Barbie battery-powered jeep, a Barbie scooter, a wagon, two kiddie cars, and a tricycle in there.
I also tossed the last of the stuff damaged by Hurricane Jeanne in 2004. For some reason I was in denial thinking water damage is a temporary condition. Seriously, there were some sentimental personal effects that were trashed. Journals from college, art from when I was a kid, programs from the circus from the 1970s, my little black book (which in complete Alex P. Keating fashion, was a Rolodex).
Finally, there was all the extra screws, parts, and pieces from various projects and items assembled over the last 8 years. Memo to self, in the future, just toss it. If you think you might be able to use it in the future, you will never remember you have it, so just get rid of it!
