Day 4 of the Great Closet Cleaning of 2009

Eeeeek!!! I found (dead) bugs in my closet!! (thankgoodness for the brand new Oreck vacuum!) It was a bit disturbing to hear all the clicking noises the vacuum made while it was sucking up the dead bugs.

I found the expensive beach cover-up thingie that I got in Destin, Florida in 1998 (spend a horrible amount of money on it too) It's been missing since about 2002 or 2003. (we moved in here in 2002...I've never really cleaned this closet before) I'm hoping I find the really expensive swimsuit that went with it that I havent seen in years. (I had to go to Walmart to buy a swimsuit when I couldnt find the expensive one)

I made a lot of headway last night and today, but geeze, I'm tired. My dad asked me if I wanted to go treadmill at the gym, and I just looked at him with the "are you nuts" look and said that I already exercised for the week...I'm cleaning my closet out....He totally understood. He made out like a bandit too, I'm letting him have first pick at the sweatshirts and t-shirts before they go in the Goodwill donation.

I made it to my fabric boxes today. It's like an archaeological expedition. I didnt realize I had two boxes of fabric. I've gotten weaker since I last was able to reach them. I couldnt lift one of them at all. The other one, I found a ton of good fabric that my brother-in-law would like. His hobby is sewing. I have a ton of nice broadcloth and some calico...I think he'll have fun making my nieces dresses with some of that. I have like four continuous yards of black cotton broadcloth fabric, I think he can either make a nice skirt or dress for my sister, or he can get a couple of nice button up shirts out of it. I might have to ask him to make me a vest or two (if he's willing to make me something)

I think I'll go pop a couple of baclofen to head off the spasticity induced charley horses that I think I'm going to suffer thru later tonight...hopefully I wont be regretting all the work I've been doing on my closet. (regretting only because it's probably going to cause me pain later)

I'm off to slip into the bacolfen induced coma....

edited to add:

I think I did too much...my left hand is more numb right now, and it's seriously impeding my progress in my crocheted afghan I'm trying to work on....argh!! *grumble*
