Reclamation Day

Today's the day to reclaim my sunroom.  After months of being filled with our and other people's junk and boxes of junk, the sun room needed to return to its purpose - a room to sit in and enjoy.  The only bad part is the work that it's going to take to get it there.

First there's the cleaning out of the junk we put there in an effort to close up the yard sale.  Those things would include the no-longer-needed hangers, the tape/stickers/paper/etc that was needed to put prices and directions on all the yard sale junk, and all the stuff that team members decided we wanted to keep after all.  There's also the remains of a few Sonic runs, and doughnut runs, and pizza runs.  And maybe even a few leftover Twizzlers.  In other words, there's a lot to clean out.

There's also a lot to sort.  There's the stuff to sort to whomever decided to keep whatever it is.  There's stuff to sort as to whether it stays in the sunroom or finds a home elsewhere.  There's even stuff that belongs in the sunroom that needs to be sorted back into its proper location - wherever that may be.

Finally, there's some real cleaning that needs to happen.  There's dirt and dust and cobwebs and grit everywhere.  There's dusting and mopping and wiping, oh my.  That is, if I can get through all the mess to get down to the dirt.

Hopefully by the end of this week the sunroom will be back to normal and once again a nice place to sit on these delightful spring mornings.  Lindley and Everley can once again play and jump on the trampoline without having to navigate the maze of boxes and junk.  And I can start my workout routine (stop laughing!!) on all that exercise equipment that I will unearth in the mess.

And the last thing I will do?  Devise a booby trap for any person who tries to bring a box-o-junk into the room!!
