Weird title for plastic bags. I did a good job of clean up in the basement at Mom and Dad's house. But - I screwed up with the plastic bags - I trashed them and didn't keep them, hundreds, if not thousands neatly folded and stashed away.
I don't know why I got rid of them so easily. We are not only creatures, but we are creatures of habit. The screw driver is back in the end of the table, with a plastic bag hanging round it, with old magazines that will not be read, but the labels need torn off and shredded.
I didn't understand it before, but i think I do now.
Mom, I believe, is more than ready to be on her own. I've got to find transportation and get back home. She certainly doesn't need me hanging around much. I just have to finish the garage. that shouldn't take long.
I'm ready for Canada and Myrtle Beach!

Weekends
What are they for? Well, more than anything, I think they are for enjoyment, laughter, family, alone time, movies and popcorn, fishing and golf for the non-retired, that kind of stuff.
Carolyn is off on another adventure later today - she is becoming a real activist in some things - the things that she especially enjoys. I'm not much of an activist myself. But, I do support her in whatever she chooses to be active in.
I'm putting in new doors (interior). This house is a mess from construction or settling perspective. Nothing is square. I'm working on the first door, did all the measurements and crap -- nothing is fitting. A two our job is going to take 50 hours I think. I managed to get the metal door jam's out -- easier than I thought it would be, a hack saw and a claw hammer and they wre gone.
However, when you measure the jam at the top and it is 30 " and at the bottom it is 29 1/2", argg. Then you buy these hollow core doors, with 1" blocking, or pre hung doors - trying to make them fit is well, extremely frustrating. I will get there. I gotta admit, the new door does look better than the old door - which our son had artfully decorated with some strange beings.
The weather is finally a bit cooler today. So, I'm getting some outside work done. Did I say I think I'll go fishing this evening?
Well, enough for now - enjoy your moments, they are limited!
