It's hard knowing where to start. It's been suggested that I make a list of everything that needs to be done. That's a very sensible suggestion. But what works better is giving myself deadlines. So today I'm going to put up a garage sale advert and get some bright pink signage to put of Saturday morning. What that means is that all the books books and art I don't want will need to be decided and staged by Saturday morning. Yay! Deadlines. Can't live without 'em.

| Where Winston and I are sleeping now. |
 |
| Mess in old "office room" |
 |
| Picture 3: Coffee Table art and movie ooks to be sold or given away |
 |
| Film books packed upstairs. Theatre books waiting. All boxes go to garage on Friday. Boxes that don't sell go on Monday to Teen Challenge or Goodwill. |
What I need to do to prepare for the "Estate Sale" on Saturday is the following:
- Package the remaining theatre books into boxes for the "Mystery Movie/Theatre Book Box Sale.
- Move all the coffee table books I don't want (most of them) upstairs and stage them in one of the bedrooms
- Move all the art I no longer want upstairs to self-same bedroom.
- Put adverts on Facebook and Next Door
- Purchase neon pink cardstock for signage.
- Clean out garage to restage a couple dozen boxes of books. Move those boxes into the garage without wrecking dodgy L5 ("Lift with your knees, Huck.")
- Beg a friend or two to help out so I can take pee breaks.
- Friday: go to bank and get $100 in mixed change.
- Print Signage
- Saturday morning: put up signage.
I am impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana. So am I. The days when I can work are great days. Today, I think, is going to be a good day. Then there are the days when I take 3 hot baths while tokin' on some reefer and watching Midsomer Murders for the 4th time. I'm learning to accept that both types of days are okay.
