With the help of son Matt and his girlfriend Noelle, my garage got cleaned today! This involved sorting and dusting and tossing and boxing up several hundred books, for which the generous folks at Half Price Books paid us less than $50.00, most of which was "donated" to the electronics recyclers who took a couple of bushels of old wires and broken-down electronic devices off our hands. Two huge trash and recycling bins got filled, most of the Christmas (and Hallowe'en) decorations were stowed in the loft, and the ping-pong table was cleared off and folded up for future use. If I wanted to, I could actually park my car in the garage!
However, tomorrow all that rediscovered space will be put to alternative use as temporary storage for stuff they need to remove from their house in order to "stage" it for sale. Remove everything personal, they are told. Let the potential buyer visualize their own "stuff" in there. Stuff, flowing from place to place in a giant current, sometimes frozen in place, sometimes gushing out. The secret is preventing more of it from gushing in!
