Fall clean out

I know most people do their major cleanouts in the spring.. and like all things in my life I do it differently. I end up to doing it in the fall... and this past week has been insane with changes. We had a storage unit FULL of junk.. old appliances and some parts of a weight set from Shane.. old hockey gear and old lead bomb truck toys from when Shane and his brother were kids (those went in the trash the minute I laid eyes on em) not to mention a bizzare amount of old christmas lights in a HUGE tote... why you ask? well my boyfriend is a packrat. His parents moved like 5 years ago and we ended up with a pile of stuff from their garage, shed etc.. Cause they asked Shane if he wanted them and of course he said yes. (I've since had a big talk with his mother saying all future items must be crossed by me first or they'll be sitting curbside next day) But I was tired of holding on to and paying for a storage spot of stuff we never used and are in some cases of no use anymore. So off to the scrap metal place with the 25 year old appliances, the weight set is in pieces and I've told Shane to get the weights off the stairs before some breaks their neck, Shane finally got rid of his big old toy box (I've been on him for years to goodwill it) and the christmas lights are in a garbage bag.. either their trash or his brother grabs em.. either way I want them out of here by end of the week..
I'll be so glad when this place is finally straightened up and junk free.. it stresses me out when things get so disorganized or messy. (It's also partially the head/ minor brain injury I sustained 21/2 years ago as well.. I don't function well without organization)

All this and Shane has the flu lol figures. Tho I find this is a really long one for him... he rarely ever gets sick and is usually better within days. He's got a job interview Thursday (cross our fingers and toes!!) so here's to hoping he feels better by then.

Well the dryer just went off and I should check on my slow cooker recipe too.. starting smell yummy in there.. chicken and mushroom cattitore (I know I spelt that wrong)
