My uncle and aunt split up a while back, but they’re still married. She got an apartment during the split and my uncle just got around to getting his own new place. He’s gone through a lot and is getting older, so he can’t do all the lifting and bending for the belongings he has boxed up. I worked on un-boxing, cleaning and putting away knickknacks and moving a few cabinets. The entire place needs cleaned but it is sort of hard to give it a once over scrub job when there are things everywhere. I pretty much stuck to the one room and organized most of the boxes of stuff I didn’t go through.

He paid me forty dollars for around four hours of work so that’s not bad at all. I don’t even make that much for a day’s work at the deli. There’s a lot more to do but I made a dent in it. Plus I found a couple gifts for some people I’ll be meeting later this year.
