Post by: Mugwump on July 24, 2017, 05:32:12 PM
....pleasant day here even tho a bit humid from all the rain, etc.    we putz'd and got the bird/sewing room cleaned out...and cleaned up....with the finches now gone, the cages are all outside to be hosed and scrubbed.... |^|.....we're wanting to let #2 son replace some drywall, so we needed plenty of space.... |^|....we'll repaint after the repairs... 8)

I'm guessing that this room, where my 'puter is, will be next... huh...

We have way too much junk still LOL.....so we'll host a garage sale this weekend... |^|....might throw some older tanks out for sale to....need to thin that collection also..

Lots on your plate, for sure.  You've taken the first step. Hope you're looking forward to the work ahead.

And here I was thinking that I was the only one who had shit like that happen to!  It sucks, doesn't it?

Take another shower and get in bed and have a good sleep.  I will do the same.  Work for me tomorrow...I hope that a good sleep will help put my silly worries into perspective.
