Four days off isn't enough time

 I love to be outside. I wish mother nature felt the same way about me. I've been off for a few days and didn't do squat, Nada, nothing. It was to hot and I have had a heat headache for about a week. That's what I call them, those headaches you get when you stay outside for a while in the humidity. When you wake up you feel like the guy from Pirates of the Caribbean who has the wooden eye and it squeaks, yep that's me the wooden eye guy.

 Now if you have a wooden eye I apologize I am not trying to make fun of you but you have to admit the wooden eye guy from the movie was pretty funny.

 I did the usual, laundry, dishes, scrubbed the toilet, watered the plants and kept water in the fountain outside for the birds. I had plans to clean out the basement.  2316 square feet of crap. I was tempted to call the Salvation Army and have them just take everything antiques and all.

 I feel that I am a simple person so where does all this crap come from? I don't go anywhere or buy anything but my basement looks like an episode of hoarders, minus the 3 year old tuna sandwiches. I've lived in this house for 4 years and still have stuff in boxes in the basement. Fiesta wear anyone? I hate that stuff and yet its packed away with the plates from different states. My mom used to buy a plate from the states we would visit and hang them up in the kitchen. I don't have room for plates I have Ironstone and some pottery collecting dust and cobwebs. I'm keeping the cobwebs until after Halloween.

 I just don't get it. I'm not attached to anything.I don't even have anything of value. The robbers that broke in my house several years back relived me of the valuables.  I could live in a Tepee, just give me music, books and indoor plumbing and I am good to go.

 So I am back to square one. Four days off and haven't accomplished anything except blowing up the lawnmower ( It won't go in gear) My blazer needs a new battery and a new owner. I'm down to one wine glass (damn stone floors) and my jeep needs a new windshield so Its tucked away until I can get that done.Since I can't mow the yard since I blew up the mower I guess I'm forced to get something done. I need another four days plus twenty maybe that's enough time to take off the trash...
