My 4 day yard sale has wrapped up. I'm exhausted... but I'm thinking anyone would be. I know I overdid it but I mingled with people and my normal sense humor kicked in...I almost forgot I had one.
My days started at 6am. A few days I had other sellers set in my yard with canopies to protect from any possible storms. I keep going till 2 to 3 pm then put things away for the next day.
On a sad note, my sweet outdoor cat, Tanna, who was 19 years old, was attacked by a relatives dog and I had to have my angel put down. She was as precious to me as any of my house cats...she just didn't like being inside. I cried like a baby as she slipped away. My angel. That is 3 cats gone in the last 6 months. RIP my sweetie.
Just an observation for me personally. I know we all know about
the exhaustion that comes along with these infections. We know about
the viscous cycle of physical weakness and mental issues such as depression. My hand was forced on this huge undertaking, preparing and pretty much gutting my house in preparation for the sale. I was forced to get off the couch to prepare. And the more i prepared, the better I felt mentally and physically.
I guess what I am saying, in my case, I feel like this was and will continue to be a great healing step. I know its not always possible to take that step and push a bit harder, but sometimes I feel, if it is managable, it is beneficial. Just know your limitations.
I still have a lot to clear out, but I had a huge outdoor room that ill keep set up for a weekly sale. The hard part is done. After the first day, I had cleared out so much stuff, I could organize, and several people actually commented in a very complimentary manner on my store, lol.
