Our senior mobile home park manager stopped here yesterday
and gave me a week to clear the stuff off my back driveway. I thought I had it
stacked neatly. You really do not notice it from the street, but considering
they’ve given notices to other nearby neighbors recently, I guess they are
doing park-walks (site checks) again.
It is a good thing, in a way. Most parks
are finding folks leaving instead finding new folks moving in. If they want
folks to want to come into the park and live here, they need to make sure the
outward appearance is pleasant.
We all know I do need to do this, but I didn’t want to start
the outside just yet. Still, I guess the Lord knows best because we are going
into high-temp mode already, so this might be the only time that’s right to do
it.
I plan to go into the shed on Saturday morning and rearrange
it and get ready to move most of the stuff in there. A lot of it was for the
yard sale which I didn’t have. Some of it will go to charity pick-up’s and some
to Freecycle pick-up’s. The rest will be safely marked and stored until the
Fall park-wide yard sale.
After the shed is ready to receive stuff, I’ll spend Monday,
Tuesday, etc., re-packing and marking the stuff. I have a pretty sturdy dolly
to move the cartons around the back of the house and around to the shed. But I
need to do it in the mornings before the heat hits each day.
Maybe I can then set up a nice sitting area on the back part
of my driveway for summer mornings and evenings.
A year ago, before I lost some weight and my lab tests
showed better readings and my arthritis bothered me more (because of the
weight), this would have been beyond me in that time-frame. Now, if I handle it
right, and pace myself, it will loosen me up and even make my bod feel good, I’m
sure.
Yep – even though it wasn’t what I planned to do this coming
weekend and next week, it’s what must be done. Afterwards, I know I will be not
only relieved but happy about the results.
