How can it be that we are already at the close of January? I’ve been busy all month, as I am sure you have, and I’m satisfied with what I have accomplished, but there’s a lot left to do. Scraps on a Mission is coming along nicely, and I’ve got the tax planners for our personal taxes, and Mother’s final tax return. We plan to shop for carpeting for the hallway, and for the living room, which is long past needing to be replaced. We’re ready to face February and see what our shortest month will bring.
I was talking with Dear Husband about the need to clean out the basement. Our basement is truly a disgrace. I don’t trust my knees on the stairs, so I go downstairs very infrequently. I think I’m going to need to live in the basement during February, because so much needs to be done.
We need to destroy documents from our company dating back to 1986. We need to destroy personal documents that we no longer need. I need to gather all my Mother’s things into one section of the basement, so that my family will be able to see them, and decide what we will do with them. I need to store all the Christmas decorations in their bins, and throw away a collection of boxes that we probably no longer need. AND, I should go through a collection of ancient electronic stuff, to determine what needs to be given to the recycling center. All of February, right? Maybe I need to put up a bed down there, and add a hot plate and refrigerator! lol
I’m looking forward to Spring, and warmer weather, but not until this mess has been sorted out. I’ll take my cell phone with me, in case anyone needs me. *G*
