Seriously, I
love AJ and Haley, but their visits tend to leave me both on the verge of a
major depression and unbelievably thankful they are so willing to come here and
help me. They came on Monday and spent an hour or so pulling boxes out of the
other side of the garage attic. Then, AJ showed me photos of what’s still up
there and it’s just unfuckingbelievable!!!!
Besides what you see in the photo, AJ’s
truck was filled with old pieces of molding, other pieces of wood and old
drapery rods and other kinds of metal pieces for who knows what. The wood will
be cut down to firepit size (or garbage depending) and the metal rods recycled.
AJ said he couldn’t believe the entire pile didn’t ever fall from the top of
the cabinet where they were stored. All the door openings and shuttings should
have sent it right down on someone’s head. And, let’s not forget the HUGE TV
box from the last TV we bought about 10 years ago.
Haley
will return on Wednesday to help me sort through all those new boxes (including the ones not photographed). As for
the others still up there, son Thor is going to need to come at the same time
as Haley and AJ so the remainder can be brought to ground. Then, please God, light
a candle, rub Buddha’s belly, do a crap-fest dance, whatever will help bring all
this wading through 50 plus years of crap to an end.
While
they were here Monday, they also managed to tip over the five-gallon glass
water jar full of pennies without breaking the jar. Now, when Haley isn’t
available, I can have a real fun time rolling all those damn things. And,
actually, the bank will undoubtedly be happy to see me once they’re rolled
because I just read in the paper yesterday there is a coin shortage…and I’ve
probably got the market cornered on the pennies.
