Today I have an eye infection. Can't say how I got it, but I realized why women in the past wore scarves over their hair while cleaning. I constantly touch my hair to get it out of my face, and yesterday I dug into a dusty, moldy box with yearbooks and photos from 1939 on. Yuck! The box even smelled bad. No memorabilia is worth health problems. I threw out a lot of stuff and need to throw away more, but wow, what a reminder to be careful while cleaning.
We constantly touch our faces and hair, and my shorter hair hits my eye area. I really need to wear a head-scarf and perhaps rubber gloves. And while a garage is okay for storing some items, the heat of the summer can't be good for paper and photos. (Some photos melted with a leather wallet!) Not a good way to preserve items and keep them dust and mold free. Will try to return any kept items to climate-controlled indoors. I can hear Peter Walsh's voice saying we must properly store items if they're truly valuable to us.
