Making Room for the Unknown

Tomorrow from 9am-2pm, we are hocking our stuff in the Hillsborough Pride town-wide yard sale. We registered last week, so there is no backing out now… even though we’ve had a crazy and distracting week

Since our name and location is already printed on the event map, we can expect early-picking prowlers long before my first cup of black coffee has kicked in. Why did we set ourselves up to do work on a holiday weekend? Because we have too much stuff. Way too much stuff.

Last year, Roger and I sold our separate houses, and moved in with his mother Mary at her home. Luckily, there was a garage bay for the excess each of us brought to our “instant family” deal. Mary’s excess resides in bay 1, Roger’s in bay 2, and mine in bay 3 (in the order of our arrival), and it’s a complete jumble on the second floor. The goal for tomorrow afternoon is to unload enough furniture and clutter to be able to move around in the garage without hurting ourselves.

We’ve set up tables to showcase smaller items, lugged a whole lot of furniture; duplicate appliances, and long-overlooked hobbies out of the garage bays; and priced items to entice purchase. We don’t want to drag things back into the darkness.

I hope we’ll be counting our cash tomorrow afternoon, while sipping Margaritas in the hammock and waiting for the grill to heat up. I’ll let you know how it all turns out next week.

Have a relaxing and rejuvenating time.

Big hug and a (tired) smile.
