Putting off Ironing!

What I should be doing right now is ironing. I just can't get myself to do it right now. I've been "decluttering", otherwise known as packing so I can get my house on the market. This is otherwise made fun by the pain in my knee that just gets worse during the day by the more that I do. The thing is, I haven't figured out how to get things done without doing them myself. Yup, I can ask for help but that help is not always around when I am ready to do things so I find it easier to do it myself - except for the pain. I've been icing it and putting heat on it and it doesn't seem to matter. What helps the most is just staying off of it but I find it difficult to get things done around the house without walking.

Today is one of those days that I wish I had already moved and was in NC. Who needs 2 feet, yes 2 feet of snow! Not I, and I'm sure not a lot of other people. The only good thing about the snow is I was forced to be inside all so I did get a lot done. Oh yea - the bad thing is the pain.

The offer is still out there for any of you who have extra time on your hands to help me pack. Just bring some boxes with you.
Also, the china is still here so if you know anyone who might want it, let me know.
There is a dresser in the basement and a hutch that I am willing to part with. I have been using the bottom part of the hutch but the top part is in the basement. The glass on one of the doors needs to be replaced but otherwise it is in good shape.

I may be willing to part with other items. In the long run it just might be cheaper to buy once we move since the cost to move is done by weight and some of what I have is heavy furniture.

All I know is I will be happy when the "decluttering" part of the packing is done and the house can go on the market. I know I will have to keep the house clean but trying to get everything cleaned out but keeping enough stuff out to live is a task that sucks at times.

Well, the clothes still need to be ironed. No one has done them for me. So, I will hobble over and get that chores done before I lose the very last bit of energy I have.

Now - to wait for the warm-up this week so the 2 feet of snow will melt.
