What a weekend and nearly there in preps for the renovation...

I had taken two days of vacation from work last week, and on Day 1 of 2 of the vacation, I headed out for to a suburb on a very nice cool day.
I did go into a shop, and then for lunch, I treated myself to a nice picnic lunch outdoors, with a Lugano sub (a version of the Italian sandwich with Swiss cheese) bought from a deli inside a shop which sells imported Italian food items in the center of town.
Went back into town later in the day and eventually went to do my usual Thursday night of euchre (a card game) in a pub with some friends, which I hadn't done in nearly a month.
I had intended Day 2 of the vacation to unclutter/clean up stuff, but I decided to put it off (a bit of an ill advised move on my part). So I spent nearly all of the day home, but went out to do my usual Friday night stuff, despite being warned of rains, since I was considering clearing off stuff on Saturday and Sunday instead.
Yesterday, of course, was rainy pretty much all day, and that was the day of the funeral for Senator Kennedy, one of the senators of my state. Decided to watch most of the funeral on television, given that the only senators of my state that I knew were Senator Kennedy and Senator Kerry. I am not going to say too much more about this, as it would take away the purpose of this post and it would be way too long.
Because of that rain yesterday, I was forced to put off the clearing off of stuff until today.
And now, today, I got into a late start, with the result of me frantically clearing off as much stuff as I could before the place of my storage locker closed for the day. I was only able to make two runs to the storage locker, however, I managed to clear off 95% of the stuff I wanted to clear off.
That other 5%? I will probably use my desk at work as a temporary storage point which means I will be grabbing some extra stuff spread out over the next four days to prepare for them to be moved over to the storage locker Thursday night, the day of the week where the storage place is open later.
That said, I did spend nearly $40 on taxi rides to and from the storage locker, because I was carrying massive amounts of items to be stored at one swoop, which really forced the taxi as the only option.
Not finished yet -- but nearly there for the preps for renovation which involves retiling and repainting and takes around three days to do.
