This is my post for #freewriters Wednesday prompt walk on both sides hosted by @mariannewest
This was a long day, I woke at 4am and could not go back to sleep. Around 9 the man who said he will take all of the clothes that were left over from the yard sale called and said he was ready to get them.
He was not good with directions but had been to my house before, so he came here and followed me to the sale. When we got there, he saw the amount of clothes, I was afraid he was not going to take them, but he said he would.
He saw the old sewing machine and wanted it, and it went on the truck first, he has a small truck. We put what bags of clothes would fit and he said he will be back for the rest. I stayed until 1 cleaning everything up and putting the boxes of trash in my truck to take to the dump.
I was so rushed this morning that I went off and left my purse at home. So when my back started hurting, I had nothing to take for it, by the time I got home, it was hurting at a level 9 which is pretty bad.
This is a patch of sugar sand, sugar sand is just like it sounds, very fine sand and if you drive through it, you will get stuck if you slow down. This happens to be right in front of my mom's driveway. While carrying the yard sale junk over there, I got stuck in it and that same evening my sister said that a friend got stuck and buried her car so deep that the doors would not open.
I figured that I better do something with it or I would be pulling out every car that drove into it. I had a box of yellow tape that someone gave me, I pulled it out and it said to keep out, that was perfect.
I put my poles in the ground and tied the tape to them. As I unrolled the tape, I saw it said crime scene keep out. I would not have any yard sale customers if I let them see the tape. So I twisted it and cut small strips and tied the two together. People can walk on both sides or drive on both sides.
