Wow, got A LOT of junk cleaned out for the tack consignment shop. Funny how dragging out all the old show clothes brought back memories of that era of life. It mounted to a ton of laundry as it has all been stored away and needs freshening up. I'm actually looking forward to getting it all out of here. I have been doing some riding but I'm not considering a show ring return. Even without showing you always tend to have gear needs in the horse game. If it doesn't return any money it is still removing clutter and if it does then I am sure I can spend it out on things I have a more immediate need for (or no need for at all!).
Also listed some items on ebay in the interest of MORE clean out. I am a minimalist trapped in the body of a clutterbug!! I think my parents instilled in me too much post depression mentality so I tend to stock up and store way too much stuff. I keep trying to remember how many creative pursuits I can chase if I am not constantly rearranging junk!
In keeping with the satisfaction of goals, I also managed a good healthy pile of stuff from the grocery store and two new recipes to try. It is so much more time consuming to attempt to stay organic and avoid patronizing companies whose practices I find "unsavory." Sadly, it brings to light just how much our food supply is monopolized by people who probably are better qualified to traffic human waste! That is a rant I won't touch today ;)
I dodged rain drops for a nice work out. The rain makes the world dismal but the green will be much appreciated when it clears off. It offers some hope to the end of a much sadder drought so I won't complain about it too much. The rest of the week's work outs are laid out in tune with my training plan. It is sooo hard to get mounted up after too long a break and too much complacency.
My neighbors kindly mowed my front yard over the weekend (I'm having trouble keeping up with the rain) so I hope to make them a loaf of zucchini bread tomorrow as a thank you AND mow my yard again as a show of good faith!
Most of my weeks are just a counting of wake ups between the time when Ying meets Yang and Kevin and I are together again. It is his turn to drive this weekend and he had planned to bring the boat down here for us to throw in on the inter coastal. If it stops raining that would be nice. We had wanted to work out the bugs in the boat remodel and then do some benign practicing getting in and out of it with dive gear on before the Keys trip in August. I will still have a few gear pieces to add on that note, too! Gloves and gear bags are all that is on that list. Soon as that adventure is done we will be looking to the TAG Fall Cave In scheduled for October. For that he plans to build us a teardrop trailer making camping just that one step more comfortable and a place for all our caving/rappelling gear to "live" and be ready on a moment's notice. That man loves to build!
