I woke up shortly after 6 am this morning. I could have gone back to sleep and probably would have stayed asleep until 8:00, but I was supposed to have all the donations out by 8:00. So I just got up and at 6:30 I was hefting boxes and bags out to the short walkway up to the steps, and to the porch. I also had to get some bags out of the car that Jeannie had surreptitiously put in there, so as to keep the kids from knowing what she was giving away.
The truck finally got here at about 1pm. I had hoped they would be early because I wanted to go to Costco when they opened, but by early afternoon I lost all interest in going anywhere. I didn't have to be here, but I didn't want to think about anyone rifling through the bags to see what I was giving away, and having things strewn about.
I wrote Steve that I now have room in my living room for a tub, toilet, vanity top, etc.
My photo boxes came this morning and I think I will like them enough to order more. Everywhere I look it seems I find more photos. They are in every drawer, closet, nook, and cranny in the house. Just sorting them into broad categories is so time consuming. When I get my camera that I left at Jeannie's I will take a picture of the boxes. They look similar to Michael's but I think they are a little taller, have a place for a label on the front of the box, and of course the tabbed dividers for the inside. The dividers won't work unless I have enough photos in the box that they will all stand up. I may end up doing my own dividers, maybe for major titles and subtitles.
I went to another homeowners' mtg last night, although I discovered there are TWO organizations and this isn't the same one that I attended recently. Some of it was interesting, but the speaker let two men at one table completely take over the discussion. Even though others had their hands up to ask questions, they were ignored until the two loudmouths decided they said enough for the time being. And when they stopped to breathe, the president of the association peppered the speaker with her own questions. That happened more than once during the hour and a half that I was there. I think I left at a break before the meeting was over, but I had about had it.
I never did care for clubs or organizations, and this group is no exception. I'd like to find a compatible group to belong to, but at my age it's not likely. Like Don Someone-or-another used to sing, "Oh, Lonesome Me".

I had a minor scare yesterday evening - actually, I thought I might die, literally. I won't go into details, but as I sat there thinking, well, "I was ok with reaching 75 and even hoped I might do 80, but if it's my time then it's my...

"Early" wasn't the word for when I went to sleep last night. I was in bed and probably out like a light by 7:30 pm! I slept in until 8 or so this morning, so I should be well rested. I briefly thought of going to Costco early but that...
