Method of Disposal: Leaving in a book
exchange box in Decatur, GA
I think I have created a mess I may
never crawl back out of. The room I keep my fosters in was starting
to look a little scary since Belize came this past weekend. She
seems to do great outside of a crate, but she can create some havoc
inside of one. She is getting better, but there were pieces of torn
linen, plastic, and food everywhere from the first few days.
Something had to be done. Besides, I had not cleared it out since
someone had been living there temporarily. That started an
avalanche. I decided to move all of the pet rescue items in there.
Leashes, crates, costumes, clothes, harnesses, medicine, toys, beds,
the works. That freed up some space in the tiny storage room for my
tools, which then cleared up some space in my tiny little bathroom
closet. The next thing I know it is a full on deep clean and
disposal situation. I got in over my head. I work early in the
morning and really should not have started a project this large, but
once you start how can you possibly stop?
I have taken everything out of every
closet. I have emptied out boxes I have not looked inside for over a
year. The house was slightly messy before. I've been so busy that I
haven't had time to do even the basics. Now it looks like a small
cartoon Tasmanian devil came through and left hundreds of empty
Rubbermaid containers. I have tons of empty Rubbermaid containers!
What do you do with that? How do you stop? I don't want to come
home to this tomorrow.
I found this solitary book at the
bottom of one of the boxes, and I decided that was a good excuse to
take a break. I am going to fill one of those empty containers with
the books I need to disperse in the Decatur lending libraries. Knock
out two birds? Wish me luck!
