I am leaving at 11:00 for a staff retreat at a bed and breakfast. Nice. It is freezing, and I can cuddle up and relax and read and play games all weekend. It'll be fun.
So last night the dirt flew (literally) as we cleaned out the garage. Dan, Amy, Allison, Susanne, Rita, Jenny, Tim, Adam, and I all loaded up THREE truck-loads full of left-over furniture, trash and boxes. (Trust us—each truck was FULL, thanks to Amy.)
This morning Amy and Dan took the THREE trucks to the dump. They said the dump was very cool. Apparently, loading the trucks were more work than unloading, since all they had to do was just push it all on the ground.
Although the dumping-process was good and we have our garage back, it cost us $30 to dump all of the stuff, and 90% of it wasn't ours.
Although we LOVE helping people and offering our house for them to use, we can't get into this situation again. The garage has been un-useable since May, and it stressed us out—not to mention the time to clean it, and the cost of getting rid of everything.
So, this changes some stuff going into the summer. Although we love you guys, if you want to store stuff at our house this summer, we may need a deposit (so if you leave it, we don't have to pay to have it hauled off). And if you’d like to help us defer the cost of this dumping, you know where we live!
Okay, so I somehow slept in today. Not cool. I woke up at 6:00 and knew I had about 45 minutes left. Next thing I know, it is 7:45 and I need to leave for work. I got ready fast, and got here 10 minutes late. Ironically, I was dreaming about getting ready when I woke up. My brain telling my body to get up I guess.
