Monday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
The shed is half way cleaned.
I'm thinking, instead of renting a storage shed for all the stuff I will have to pack away to "stage" the house to sell, I can store them in that shed, and up in the attic. Who looks at the attic? I never did.
I will have to buy plastic storage bins because of the assorted wildlife that has decided to live in my yard. Those Squirrel stories I've been writing are based on true observations. And they will try to get into my boxes. If I want the stuff to survive, I will have to pack them in sturdy, critter-proof bins.
Fortunately, I can pack a lot into bins, and plastic bins are cheaper than cardboard boxes. I am going to have to be careful not to overpack the books. I may, instead, just sell many of the books. I don't expect to get a lot for them, but not having to pack or move them could be worth it.
