Clean up, clean up everybody everywhaaaaaaggggh…….
I had this horrible dream that I forgot to blog one day for NaBloPoMo! In order to keep it from coming true, here I am!
OK, I’ll add a bit more. I actually did some physical labor today, in the form of a bit of raking, and a lot of cleaning out the garage and basement. Somehow we (meaning Pat) got out of the habit of throwing away trash and debris from doing work on the house, instead letting it pile up in the garage and basement. Often it lands on top of non-trash items such as sand chairs and gardening equipment (which should really be out in the shed in the first place.)
So today I went on an archaeological dig, sorting out the things we would like to keep and maybe even use now and then as long as we can find them, from the trash.
We now have a full garage bay’s worth of garbage. Ah.
Not sure what I’m going to do with all this garbage. We have a friend with a truck (heh, look at that, I can reference a post I made nearly 3 years ago!) but he’s one of those people you feel guilty asking because he never takes money, and we want to pay, and it just makes things awkward… you know? So we can call the company that takes our trash, and maybe get a little dumpster for a couple days- that would be my choice. Or we can make multiple trips to a landfill in the van (if they’ll even take the stuff) or we can just wait till May when the town has Big Trash Day and lug it all out to the curb then.
Hands up if you think we’ll end up with that last option… one, two, three, four, five, six……. yeah, you’re probably right.

Call the friend with the truck. Buy him pizza and beer and thank him profusely.
