I have been very tentatively clearing space in father's room. It is a reasonable sized room and most estate agents would class it as a double bedroom. It is not, however, a Tardis, and it hasn't been touched since father went into hospital last year and has had a lot of stuff dumped in there, including my sewing machine.
If I was there with a family member I know there would be lots of shuffling around saying things like, 'I don't know, what do you think?' As it is, I'm just pootling on. I have moved six bottles of bleach to the bathroom. I have moved a dismantled shelf unit into the garden (we may end up getting a skip). I have no idea what we are supposed to do with the metal detector. I haven't even started on the top of the wardrobe, as father had lots of bright ideas that he didn't follow through (funny, that rings a bell).
I've just realised that tomorrow they are picking up the display cabinet. I can't even reach the display cabinet due to other stuff being shifted around to fit in the piano, even though I have filled bag after bag.
It is really helpful, I'm getting so much sorted/thrown out/found a place for that I can't really grumble. I am just a little more bewildered than I was this morning. At least I can pick up the Death Certificate tomorrow.
Bear continues, well, just about okay, could be worse.
Hi Sybil.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've only just seen the news about your father, so sorry to hear this. Make time to take care of yourself whilst taking care of Bear & Hubby.
