I was planning on doing more yardwork today b4 the rain set in, but my time was hijacked by hubby's burning desire to clean and sanitizethe bathroom.
Sigh.
Well, maybe the rain will hold off long enuf tomorrow for me to bin up what I yanked yesterday.

Hopefully you can get to some of it today, Sigs.
I didn't do much at all after running my errands. Lots more for me to do before my dad comes over. I'm up early enough to get it done though if I do it.

Happy Spring in the rain. Looks kinda soggy around me but I am out for my walk.

Well, I managed to nip outside and with daughter's help not only binned up weeds but also managed to cut up and bin up a lot of fallen star pine branches. Daughter even dug up a few more big weeds.
Last year this time I had just finished chemo, had surgery and was getting radiation treatments. The front yard was full of waist-high weeds and knee-high grasses and I didn't care. So compared to how it used to be, things are going better.

Glad to hear you're feeling better and you're getting stuff done Sigs. 
Got a lot of cleaning done this morning, but dragged my feet on it for about 3 horusso there's still a lot more to do. Hoard is re-orged... except for the garage which I'll get to later. All my paperwork is caught up on. Dad came by and we hung out for a few hours. I'll see him again at my Grandma's house.
Going to go there tomorrow and help him get the Victrola loaded up in the car so he can take it down to my brother's apartment next time he goes. There was a time I wanted that, but it needs some restoration and needs to be fixed, and I don't need to take no another project. Maybe one day I'll fix it for him if he doesn't already pay somebody to do it. There's about 80 hard vinyl records for it. There used to be over 200, but I don't know what my other uncle did with them after I moved out. I was happy to find the ones that I did.
Hopefully my other other uncle comes by after work to help me because I want to get the couch and the large dinette out to the curb early to see if somebody will pick them up. Supposed to be warm, although it will probably rain overnight. Because of the rain, that might have to wait until next week, which will suck. I want them out of the house, but if we took them to the garage it's in the complete opposite direction of where the trash gets picked up and we're making a ton more work for ourselves if we do that.
I'm going to take the coffee table because even though I love mine, it doesn't have a lot of room with my all in one PC on top of it and this one is huge compared to mine. I figure I can also take 3 of the 5 remaining cinder blocks and get rid of them here because the cans at Grandma's specifically say no concrete and that's never been a problem throwing out concrete blocks here (I know because of my old patio where the sand pit currently is). I'll also take as many of the small pieces of garbage furniture as I can to get rid of here too.
After that, it's really just a few more weeks of putting out large pieces. What will be left in the garage will probably be too big to be carting around in the car to my uncle's, and too nice to leave on the neighbor's curb. He specifically told us not to leave anything nice there again since his girlfriend is a hoarder and she took the stuff we left on his curb 2 weeks ago and he doesn't have any room for it.
I'm going to leave the mattress and the TV that I've been using for now. There's still a chance they might decide to do some rehab work before selling it after talking to an appraiser, and I'm the only one who doesn't live close. If they want my help it would be nice to still be able to sleep there and have something to watch at night.

I am off to the dentist tomorrow morning and it should be a nice dry, bright sunny day for me. Denture time.

Good luck with your dentures, Brenda. If they aren't to your level of approval be sure to let them know. I'm getting mine redone for free and I'll keep doing it over and over again until they get it right.
