Today was ultra ultra busy! The amount of physical labor I did is hard to describe. Tomorrow morning is bulk pickup day for our road, so Hubby and I took advantage of that greatly, given our moving preparations. I even advertised it on Free Cycle and Craigslist. Predictably, many many people showed up, and before the 6 pm I noted in the ad. Half of the stuff was gone even before 6 pm. I'll be curious to peek out early in the morning to see what's even left before the bulk pickup truck arrives.

Our garage and basement have MORE ROOM because of this endeavor. Thank goodness! It feels sooooooooo gooooooooood! Hubby and I both took showers and are finally exhaling. Of course tomorrow will be busy again. No day hasn't been for a long time. The major challenge tomorrow is to work on my husband's office. Oy! He must make some hard decisions. It's the very last room that the painter will paint.

I think that I, alone, have five large garbage bags filled with clean folded clothes to donate to Vietnam Vets in November. Some of them are quite nice pieces, including beautiful ladies suits, skirts, and dresses. Does anyone even wear these anymore?!?! The consignment shop only took 17 pieces, mostly sweaters. Some of the stuff is just too young for my current age. And a lot of it doesn't fit. Going through old clothes clearly shows that there is vanity sizing going on. What used to be a medium, is likely now a small. A US size 10 from years ago, is the new US size 8 (or even 6). Some of the clothes were even old size 6 and 8. I actually fit in those sizes once! And that was before Risperdal and Invega increased my bra size. Actually, the biggest issue with my old blouses is chest size. My waist size has changed, too. Belts I used to wear at my very same weight as today, no longer fit. I've never been a mother, so I can't blame that. Of the stuff I kept in my closet, there are close to 20 dresses. When am I going to wear all of those dresses? For whom? The horses at the nearby horse ranch near where I'll live?
