Sweeping The Garage

Sweeping the garage

Don't ask me why I chose to sweep the garage floor this morning. I thought the weather was colder today but it did not take long before I was sweating. So, I did not do a perfect job, but at least, it does look a bit neater. I started to feel too weak so I had no choice but to end the work. Now, relaxing on Mylot and with the A/C on.

It was cool in the air here and it is now starting to get really hot outside, At the animal shelter they have the a/c on so that was nice.They found homes for all the puppies that were dropped off.

I was fine when I started, but gradually, I could feel that it was not a good idea to keep going.

Your body always lets you know when you are overdoing it. This weather has been very draining.

I braved the heat and swept the porches on Thursday. It was way too hot out there. I did the best I could before I melted and rushed back inside.

I am moving out unnecessary stuff from the garage. Yesterday I got all the electronic things that do not work anymore and we brought them to the closest electronic store to recycle. Tomorrow will be card boxes day.

I have been getting rid of quite a few things in the garage so far, and only have a few things more to get rid of. It will be a lot easier to keep in good order after.

@LadyDuck , Our garage was not too bad. It is just that these days, I want to minimalize our life as much as possible.

@marlina It is even dangerous too keep so many things inside the garage. I told this to my husband, now he is helping.

Why not bringing the fan close to you? Problem solved.

@marlina the fan is big, an industrial type, and it is noisy. the number 1 speed is too strong, that if it is near me, i might not be able to hear TV.

@Hannihar That is what I have to do these days. I used to go all the way and never stopped until I was done. Those days are gone!

Sometimes we decide to do some things that seem easy but then it gave us a lot of work. Glad you managed to finish the garage

Nothing like a little A/C and fan after doing a chore. I did the lawn yesterday and it was so hot and humid I needed a shower and still have the other half of the lawn to do today

@dgobucks226 , Yes, it is very tough to do the lawns on hot and humid days. A shower is a lovely reward !

There are certain things that we have to do and they can not be postponed too long and cleaning is one of them. Glad that you managed to finish it.

I am glad you stopped when you got too tired. It has to be that way. I do not know why I do half of what I do.

If ever I said I was cold, my Mum would send me out to sweep the verandah. It was a sure fire way of warming up but I soon learnt not to tell her when I felt cold.

I do not have a garage to sweep but I can sweep some here inside.
