Tear them out...

The closet double sliding doors in my bedroon had to go. Took them out and removed the rollers and metal frame also.  Then cleaned it out.  There were several plastic clothes protectors with white shirts on hangers, "fresh" from the cleaners, in 2008.  These were my office work shirts.  Two or three dozen of them.  Happy to say I have not worn a white dress shirt since I retired in 2008.  Also several sport coats, slacks and dusty shoes.  When counted I saw 24 pairs but know there are more in another closet.  White shirts were all that I bought for work.  With white never any concern for matching a tie or jacket.  Ties, oh yeah, about 40 of them.  Over half are Gerry Garcia, all silk.  I didn't go for cheap.  This summer I will have a closet sale.

Next for the bedroom is to pull out the very, very old carpet.  Not sure what I am going to replace it with. Hardwood right now is the leader.  Carpet justs collects dirt that can be hard to vacuum out so probably no more carpet.  Living and dining room are already hardwood.  Bedroom is only room left with any carpet.

My curmudgeon friend just over the back yard has cancer and five months of tough chemo failed. He is now being cared for in a private facility, unable to be alone.  Damn.

Hooo...K. Now for some writing. I haven't posted anything new for over a year, did you even notice? Probably not. What few followers I had by now are probably no longer interested. Or they are so all consumed with FB that a mere blog is old news. Ok with me.

Funny thing here. No new posts, yet yesterday and today I received two comments from old posts. That prompted me to look at the blog. Good 'ol Blogger has obviously made changes. Blogger instead of Blogspot is one. My side bar stuff is changed, gone, missing or was deleted for lack of activity or removed in the change. Oh well, I'm not too concerned. I do like blogging a little better. More freedom to say things.

Now being retired I don't travel much as I used to. My income went down 2/3's and gas has almost doubled. Been to Oregon three times (one was for Dr. appointment) in last two years and once to Sacramento (also a Dr. appointment).
