Holy cow, Internet, I just need to STFD for a moment. I am SO TIRED. I had no concrete plans today, but the weather was too nice to just sit inside so I thought I'd do some yard work. Somehow, I got derailed and ended up cleaning out my garage - which was a HUGE undertaking. It desperately needed to be done, though.
It floods in there so it gets musty and there are spiders and roaches (hey, better in the garage than in the house). Apparently, I've had a squirrel or some other nut-eater sneaking in (there is a big gap under the door) and eating pecans all over the place. I thought my trees didn't drop many this year, but maybe they were all just eaten before I noticed them. LOL Also, a bunch of big-ish poops were in there. I have no idea who all has been hanging out in there. LOL But you know about me. Any kind of creature needs a shelter from the elements, I don't mind helping them out. That's ok.
Anyway, there was a lot of leaves and a lot of dirt that washed in. Gross. Stuff piled everywhere. Not even sorted, just thrown in out of sheer frustration.
But now... now it's all organized and neat and it's probably cleaner than it's ever been. 😃 Also, I hit the fucking jackpot. I found a box of animal stuff... it was all clean and ready to use. 😳 Now I also have a box of dirty animal stuff that needs washing before it can be used... but at least I know where to find things now. It was all scattered about the garage before. I'd gotten into the habit of just tossing things in without worrying about where it ended up. Bad bad bad.
One other major thing I'm thrilled about: I got smart and used the extra bricks and blocks that were in there to put things on so now nothing I care about will be ruined WHEN, not IF, it floods again. GO ME!
It's a huge relief to have that done. I'd wanted to clean it out forever, but just didn't have the time or energy. Now I can work on moving what I want out of my little building into the garage and get rid of it so I'll have more space in my back yard. Woohoo for progress! 😃
