Wow. Where did January go? It does seem like it started a very long time ago but has gone fast.
Saturday and Sunday was a lot. I'm not going to post pictures cause honestly, they are very overwhelming but cleaning out a home of someone who has passed is no easy task. It is quite overwhelming and a big job. Saturday - we sorted everything. About 12:30, we went down to Subway and took a break for lunch. Have I mentioned how nice it is to eat in again? And not in a car?
It was quite the day but we accomplished a whole lot!
For dinner, Papa Vern treated us to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We do love Papa so very much and it is a blessing to have him in Reno when we visit!
What beautiful weather we had that weekend! It may look cold because of the snow but it was actually so nice with the blue skies and sunshine. I just soaked in that sunshine!
We watched online church and then the 1-800-GotJunk company came. I have nothing to say but good from my experience with them. They were so professional, kind, courteous, informative, quick working! There were so many items that the girls and I would not have been able to handle by ourselves and they had it out quick as a wink.
Our friends, Lou and Sue, were so gracious to allow us to use their truck for the day. We took one load to Goodwill. Now, my experience with them was totally opposite. Do you see all those items in the photo above? Two adult men that worked for Goodwill at the drop off simply watched myself and my daughter Autumn to unload everything by ourselves. Pieces of crap. Not sorry. Pieces of crap and I'm being nice.
Anyways, then we took two loads to the transfer station (dump).
It was a good feeling to see the emptiness. Progress. We are far from done but we are a big step closer!
By the time we finished all that, it was almost 3:30pm and we hadn't ate all day. We splurged on sushi and boy, it was so good!
Ending with green tea ice cream. And ready to go home!
