A Miracle Happened Here
(with apologies to Chanukah, and the dreidel, which bears the Hebrew inscription "A Miracle Happened Here.)
R came over today and helped me clean the basement. Yes, folks, I lived to see one of my children help me clean the basement.
She had an ulterior motive -- of course -- which is that the piece of furniture she took from my parents' apartment is down there, and damn heavy, so we've been piling stuff on it for years. Although our goal for today was to make the table accessible, which we did, she also went through a dozen or so boxes and created many many bags of garbage, as well as filling her car with stuff she's keeping and putting aside another pile of stuff she'll take the next time she's here. YAY! She's moving into a house with a big, empty basement, so she's taking her childhood crap with her.
Have I mentioned YAY!
It's actually navigable down there now, and when the piece of furniture is out, we'll put shelves there, and everything will be off the floor and then K will be able to go through her boxes easily.
I'm tellin' ya, I never thought I'd live to see the day.
In other news, there is no other news, except school tomorrow and the eye doctor after that. And that my nails are so long I can hardly type.
That is all.

....And after the shelves are up it will giv R more space to store stuff she doesn't have room for in her basement, lol. They never really leave home, mom.
ReplyDeleteCosmic knows! I still have stuff from all of them in my basement. And mine are a lot older than yours!
