Get Saved Stuff Out of the Garage
A mass of boxes
in the garage, looking like the Wall of China
B oxes of stuff
accumulated over the years
C ollected for
some unknown reason, or more like a million unknown reasons
D eposited in our
garage where our car should reside. Sports
E quipment from
days gone by, computer paraphernalia, tools, ad infinitum
F orgotten and
stashed away, waiting for the day that
G radually
moves down the to-do list waiting for the perfect time
H oarded—should
I dare say that? Surely I’m not a hoarder?
I don’t consider
myself such, I’ll blame my husband. It
may be
J unk, but it’s
good junk. We might need it someday. Stuff
K ept for that “someday”
rarely makes an appearance when you need it.
L ater. It’s
all waiting for later. No
M atter what is
going on in our lives, later is always later.
N ow, can we
get to all those saved things and unsave them?
We’re thankful to be home
O wners. But
our settling in has left us with this unsettled
P lace. It’s up
to me. It’s
Q uite a mess
and haunting me like a ghost. I
R eally made
some first attempts. It’s like the
S ituation with
my crawl space.
T aking time to
clean out
U nder the
house seemed like an impossibility, till we went on
V acation and
the washing machine hose broke and
W ater flooded
the crawl space ruining most of what was stored. I half
eX pect
something bad to happen to the garage if I don’t do something soon. This
Y ear I’m
determined to get that saved stuff out of the garage with some
Z eal, vim and vigor.
