I am bone tired. I can’t even remember a time recently when I’ve been this tired. But I’m tired and happy.

Remember the picture I posted of my garage yesterday? Well, if you don’t, let me refresh your memory.

My most embarrassing picture I’ve EVER posted. But wait, you really need to see it from a different angle. It’s much worse.

Most of this is Christmas and Halloween that needs to get up in the attic.

So, where do you start? I called the city to get a bulk garbage pickup scheduled. They could do it on Friday. Perfect.

According to the Konmari Method, you need to organize by category.

Y’all, the holiday stuff is gone! I’m starting to be able to breathe a little bit better. Our plan for the garage was to set up the kids game table so when they have friends over they can just open the door, hang out and play games.

The trash pile. That feels good.

Because the garage is the last room in my home to be treated to the Konmari method ALL of the donations from our decluttering live in the garage right now.

This is our donation pile minus one box in the house I hadn’t brought out yet. I think I’ll have to make a few trips. Totally worth it!

Now for the finished product. Please just pretend like the piles of donations are not there. Pretty soon they won’t be.

 

The deck box against the bricks holds our folding chairs.

SO much better!!!

My laundry closet even got cleaned out.

In our storage closet I put all of our electric tools together so now they are much easier to find.

The other side of the closet.

We still have the box springs and bed frame, but the fridge is going.

I cannot express enough how relieved I am to have this done. It was like a rain cloud hanging over my head. I know I will be sore tomorrow, but it will be a good sore.

Now for the VERY best part of the day.

The BEST homemade Pina Colada EVER!!!! NEVER use a premade mix! This is the only way to go.

4 oz coco Lopez (the secret ingredient)

4 oz pineapple juice

3 oz rum

Ice and a blender

The recipe is actually right on the can. Try it. You can thank me later.

Now I’m going to finish watching The Out of Towners with my husband and maybe have one more pina colada.

Cheers,

Stacy
