Sunday, April 19, 2020 – Another Work Day at the House

Hiya Babe,
Well, here I am once again, listening to rain on the roof of the trailer, temps in the mid-fifties, exhausted from a day of non-stop work. I spent all day at the house, partly cleaning, partly posting stuff up on Marketplace, partly answer messages about the stuff I’ve put up on Marketplace, and so on, and so on. I moves a few more things out into the garage, mostly speakers and electronics, cleaning off everything on the entertainment unit you built so long ago. Though I’ve had it listed altogether as a “home theater,” to which I got very little response, now that I’m putting up individual components, I’m getting a good response. It seems I’ve already sold several sets of speakers and a component or two, as well as the guest room bed and a few other odds and ends. One couple came over and wanted a bunch of gardening stuff, and I let them take all the related stuff they could find, including most of the stuff in the chicken house and the garden. The girl is building moveable chicken and rabbit runs, plus she took things like the water barrels and all the frameworks I used to use in the garden. I’m not charging her much, since she’s really doing me a favor by cleaning all that stuff out, so it’s a mutual benefit. She wants to come back tomorrow and get some more (she did two trips today!), which is fine by me. Tiring day, and it will be more tiring tomorrow since my first delivery is at 8:30 in McMinnville, so I’m meeting our neighbor Sherri at the house at 7:00 to load stuff up. Slow but sure! Meanwhile, poor Lola is getting no exercise, and the horses have just about finished their round bale, so I’m going to have to pick up some more hay tomorrow, which is supposed to be a sunny day. So tired of this weather! Isn’t is weird how we always seemed to be in places that were having record (or unusual) temperatures? All I want is 70 degrees, which is what it’s supposed to be here in Middle Tennessee in April, but no, we have to have extreme cold, unusual amounts of rain, blah, blah, blah. I am SO looking forward to getting all this work behind me and relaxing for a few days, maybe even (dare I say it!), a week! Of course, if there are trails, I’ll be riding, but that’s hardly work. Tiring maybe, but not work! Can’t wait! Meanwhile, work, work, work! And time to go to bed, though I have to make the bed first, more work! Sigh… Anyway, off to shower and bed for me, gotta get up early, early! Good night, babe! Love you!
