A new week:

the good this last weekend: had our young man who helps outside/and his brother move mom's boxes from the garage to the basement crawl space- what a weight lifted (visually).

dh did try to move things to my side in front of my shelves that I use all the time. I asked him to remove it. He meant well but he wanted it that way. I did thank him for trying to fix it - he parked my car in there - he then parked the other car behind so I couldn't get out if I wanted. dh loves cars especially in the garage. he likes to play "move that car - car shuffle over and over" . dd's are always amazed on how many times he moves the cars (no reason) but he loves it. I don't park my car inside until bad weather.

he was huge help with the young men! he enjoyed it! I love to see him happy!

this week work on: sanding :arrow: - dd youngers bedroom :arrow: - empty by half at least :arrow: - wash laundry that needs washing. :D
work on my cc bill - check for things that can be discontinued.
