Current Mood : Recovering
Sorry to bail on ya yesterday. Shortly after I wrote that last paragraph, my stomach began to act up. It got so bad so fast, Beloved Hubby urged me to lie down on the sofa and covered me with his favorite red velvet blanket - I was freezing ! My entire midsection felt like a bag of Sakrete left out in the rain for a month, heavy and hard as a rock. I just thought it was indigestion, but after two hours, I was about to go nuts. No matter how tired I was, I couldn't sleep.
Long story short, I felt better after the second time I barfed, and at the urging of Beloved, ate a couple crackers. Fell asleep with my tummy still raging, but nowhere near as badly. Woke up this morning nearly normal, with my midsection soft and squishy again, just vaguely aching, like a sore muscle. Still have no idea what I got into.
Our home-game version of Clean House continues. Today, we started with six shelves of VHS tapes, two of which were double-deep. We now have two single shelves, and much better storage for the DVDs. We ditched about a dozen of those, too. We'll offer the tapes to the Dear ILs, and if they don't want ‘em, they go to GoodWill. I'm going through Lab stuff, and culled several pieces, including the remote control Barbie car Dearest Son's wanted. I bought it, fully-functional -even the batteries were still good ! - for a quarter at a yard sale about two years ago. And I haven't touched it since, so..."Stuart Little" is getting a big Christmas present. Once I clean it up.
Freeing up the Jeep space allowed me to give the My Size Barbie girls more space, so they're not jammed up together right at the door. Which makes it easier for my big ole butt to get in and out ! I swear, once you get over the ‘It's MINE !' impulse, it's much easier to be honest with yourself about what you truly love and what you just ‘have', taking up space from what you love.
That said, I'm not looking forward to culling the Barbie collection...(whimper)
