We love it, we love it, we love it. After
the squares of the past three years, to feel as though I'm beginning to accomplish something - even something as mundane as cleaning up the back patio by taking load after load of useless crap to the landfill - is like - well, I don't know what it's like because it hasn't happened for so long. All I know is it feels wonderful, which is also something that hasn't happened for a long time, not that I'm complaining.
To think that I can finally get this house into some kind of order - to get rid of all the crap in the adobe, most of which has been there
since we bought the house in 2002 (aaarrrggghhh!!!), to do the same in the well-house (looks exactly the same but smaller), to sort out all the screws and nails in the compartments in the tool boxes in the pantry inside (can't help it - natal Jupiter in Virgo), to send all the clothes I no longer wear to a thrift shop or put them on eBay or throw them out, to get everything as stripped down as possible so I can arrange for the contents of the apartment I once had in New York to be sent out here to fill up all the space again ha ha - to even be able to think that all or any of that is possible is something I haven't been able to do for years, not least because I gave up the New York apartment only seven months ago ha ha.
I wish I'd taken a *before* photo of the back patio, when it was full of stuff to go to the dump (sorry, landfill). Maybe I did, if I look back in iPhoto. The biggest item yet to go now is the old APEX (?) TV that was replaced by my Christmas present to myself of a 32" Samsung. I got the dolly down from the adobe and managed to get the Apex off the kitchen chair where I'd dragged it and out onto the back patio, but I can't get it up the stairs myself.
If anyone's interested in a free you-haul-it-away non-working 17" Apex TV, please make contact.
