Garage Sales & Freezers
Finally, a good garage sale day! Lots of people came through, lots of stuff went, all which makes me very happy! My DD has plans for what she wants to buy with the money she gets from the sale of her stuff - I thought that it's only fair to give her that money. Incentive for her to get rid of stuff!
So, because I had to be outside all day again, I finally got that shed sorted out. YaY! lol What a difference, and yes, I am sore and achy again tonight. I was going non-stop for most of the day, and food intake was well behaved again as a result.
On the downside - we had a big rain storm go through last night, and the canopy I had set up outside for part of the sale was destroyed. The rain was too fast and too much for it. The water pooled in the canopy and it sagged down, ripping the canopy, snapping a roof pole, as well as breaking the frame from the weight of the water pooled on the roof. *sigh* now I need to go get a new one - it was a really good set up - easy to put up. Oh well, I have another that is not as good, so I'll wait to see it they go on sale at the end of the season.
I also really need to clean out my deep freeze. A few months ago, the door was left open a bit and a bunch of stuff thawed out, and there's a big mess I stupidly neglected to clean up right away. I just shut the door and let it re-freeze. Ya, really dumb. There's ice cream and whatever else all at the bottom, and I just realized some of it leaked out under the freezer. I am now am on a mission to empty it and thaw it out and give it a proper cleaning. I wish I hadn't restocked it a while ago. But it is getting pretty bare again, so I should do it soon! I've tried to use up a bunch of what is in there for meals, and there were some pretty poor choices in there!
