This weekend, I had planned to get ready for the big yard sale. At the same time, our bids were up at Ebay. We had a decent amount of sales. Before I could go through the house, I had to make sure I had the posters ready for shipping. When I started selling the posters, I thought I had a great plan to put the posters in tubes with a code. This way I could keep track on the computer. Then, I started taking posters out and leaving them in the room. Next thing I know, I have posters everywhere, except where I thought they should be.
On Friday, I am looking for one poster. I looked where the spreadsheet tells me it should be. The tube is empty. I stand back and realize I have moved them to another tube. In front of me stands 50 to 60 poster tubes. Some have many posters and some have a few. For the rest of the weekend, I keep going through the tubes.
Sunday, I am coming up against a deadline. I have no idea where the poster is. I do know one thing, I have to reduce the number of tubes. After visiting Kayla, I get home and devise a plan to reduce the number and check each tube. While I am doing this, I am putting an X on tubes checked. That way, I know I have checked and it is not there. Three hours later, I realize it is past 6:00pm and we still had to eat dinner. I rush through a bunch more. Just as I am about to give up and go to dinner, I find the tube.
At least, I have weeded out some tubes that can be used for shipping. I will need to work during the week to shed other things in the house.
