How does this happen? I can't even walk into my 'walk in' closet. This happened in the big house in North Van. This happened in Langford. It has happened here. The only reason it didn't happen on Doran was because I didn't have a walk in closet there.
In the big house, on March 25th, 2003, I shoved the door to my walk in open to see stuff packed in there to the ceiling, wall to wall. I started to clean and sort. Oh, I had the best intentions but within an hour my bedroom looked like a hurricane had happened and I hadn't even made a dent in the closet. So, crying giant self pitying tears, I shoved everything back in, shut the closet door and left the room. Three days later the house burnt down and solved that problem!!!
Now, don't get the wrong impression here...I do not want this house to burn down. I can still walk into my closet, albeit on two feet of stuff. Sigh. (shovel list). Its time. I think I will get Monte to go and buy me some containers. I am not sure how many. Its kind of like guessing how many grocery bags you need to pack your groceries at Superstore. I shall simply fill the containers until the closet is empty then sort, toss and keep each containerful, one by one, until they are all empty. I was going to get a closet system built in there. But by the time you hire consultants, and have them come and measure and make choices, it costs a fortune! Call me cheap but I just can't see myself spending five thousand dollars on a stupid closet. A good cheap bead curtain door hides it all and solves that problem. (there isn't a door on this particular closet)
I had the best day yesterday! Jo texted early that they were going to McD's for breakfast and then Ainsley was going to play in the play area. So we spent an awesome two hours just watching her play and visiting. She is such a funny little individual! I could watch her all day. Then last night I went down to their place an hour before her bedtime and read books and played. So much fun! Then we played an awesome game for a couple of hours. Loved it!!!! And we ate Craig's mothers amazing pickled carrots! Mmmmmmm.
I need to go to the doctor to get my face looked at. But it involves two trips, one early to make the appointment, then back later for the appointment. Tomorrow I have the insurance lady coming to renew my car insurance, its up on the fourth. Tuesaday I have Kiwanis at noon. And I have my nurse phone interview. I just looked. My insurance isn't until wed. So I shall go to the dr. in the morning. (shovel list) I am pretty sure it will just go away if I wait it out. I'm pretty sure Kathy and Kerry come home on Friday!!! Yay!!! I shall be picking them up from the airport. Okay that was a bad disorganized paragraph.
I want to thank all you readers that hang in here and actually comment and give me advice. I have a very boring life most the time. Ergo, boring posts. I think things will pick up as spring comes. I really want to hit the back roads and take my camera! I have never ever gone so long without taking pictures. Its to the point where I'm thinking I should be removing my camera battery before it corrodes my camera. TTYL
Maybe you should take pictures of your closet! Sounds like a Safari! Who knows what you might find... a monkey... a long lost peice of the Rosetta Stone... the door way to Narnia!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get it emptied, you should fill it with concrete, then you wont have to worry about it happening again! ;-)
I'm so helpful...
