I'm sorry, the kitchen is closed

I packed up all my pots and pans and threw out all the food. No more cooking here. There are no dishes either because I've been throwing them out every day instead of washing them.

Storage unit is almost full.

I haven't updated in awhile, I plead exhaustion. I rented a 10' x 10' storage unit and have been taking a couple of van loads a day there. Almost done, in a couple of days everything I own will be there or in my car. I was going to leave the window AC for the family moving in (wow I guess I don't even know their name, Sullivan or O'Sullivan or something like that) but I was worried that they would use the AC all the time and run up their electric bill and have nothing left for rent, so they lose, I'm taking it to storage.

Some things I'll miss about Detroit. I went to the fruit & vegtable market today; bought 4 bananas, 3 apples , 3 oranges 3 hot peppers, 2 green peppers, fresh cilantro, fresh spinach, gnocchi potato dumplings, 1/2 gallon cider, mushrooms,

all for $11.70. This is the midwest, where the livin' is easy.

Day, ?

Ok, I was in Hawaii for the last 10 days, plus time for jet lag and back and forth to Syracuse, which is where we boarded the plane. So nothing done once again. Tommorow is go time, I'm getting a storage unit and loading it up. A family wants to rent the house starting Aug 1. They are highly motivated because they are currently living in a tent. What, me worry??

more complaining

I was getting discouraged by all the work I have to do here, all the stuff I have to go through. But I realized that this is stuff I have been carrying most of my life. The last time I moved I didn't have time to go through anything, just threw it in the u-haul and moved to Warren. Also I figure that the girls have most of the stuff from their life saved; say half with me and half with their mom. So add up my age, plus 1/2 the girls' ages, and I've got over 65 years of stuff here.

Another weekend at the beach
