AAACCCKKK...failure at down time...

so...I really wish I could empty it out this much...really want an overhaul...
but it just isn't going to happen that way...i am going to have to make a HUGE mess before I am happy with it at all...
which means that downtime just isn't going to happen...
and this cute little bungalow needs to be painted this summer/fall... and we might have to do it one side at a time...cuz it needs scraping and priming...anyone for a trade? you scrape and prime my house...i do work at your house?
and this mess? took this picture of my basement when we first moved in (almost 2 years ago)...and granted...some of these boxes are gone...but...there are still lots left...so unpacking this week and next and BLOWING it all out at our (infamous) blow out garage sale...probably Labor Day weekend...
cuz I just want it EMPTY!!! I know there are great, wonderful treasures in those boxes...and it ALL has to go...cuz we need an egress window put in our basement...and that is MESSY...so it has to be empty...
ahhhhh....relaxing is really over rated...isn't it?
(did I mention that the greenhouse needs cleaning out, too?)

Totally agree with you, down time and relaxation are just sooooo 80's! I mean, really, who does that anymore? No one that I know :).

The thought that you can have down time is put there to keep you going until you have time for some down time...which as you found, never really comes. I look forward to your g sale,

ps at least take a little time with a good book or magazine or whatever
