Spring Cleaning a Little Early

What a nightmare! I’ve started my spring cleaning in January.
Here’s how it happened…
I took down the garland and artificial wreaths from our Christmas decorations on the front porch. (Well it’s not actually a porch - but that’s another story!)
Found pillow cases large enough for the artificial wreaths - actually they had been under the bed with no covering for the past few years. Figured it was time to put them in something to protect from the dust. You should have seen the layer of dust on one of them. Will probably never look like it did when I bought it
Anyway - figured there was too much stuff in the bathroom closet and wanted to use the top shelf for these decorations. So proceeded to take everything off the top shelf and on the floor - since I was in the re-organizing mood.
Well - everything on the floor was wet! Quel nightmare (I love that phrase - it was used in You’ve got mail.
Actually the sections of the items that were wet had been up against the back wall - which is an outside wall. And the wall was still wet - you could actually see the water back there.
I called my DH immediately. Of course he was out hunting - but water on the wall? Panic time. ‘Its condensation’ He’s so smart and has an answer for everything.
Now we have a big fan going to try and dry the wall, don’t know how long it will take all the ’stuff’ to dry - and that’s why I’m re-organizing - moving stuff from the bathroom closet to the bedroom closet (only those items not wet).
And of course I needed to re-organize the bedroom closet to make room for the moved ’stuff’!
At least my Christmas decorations are now on the top shelf in the bathroom closet… the main objective - no more under the bed with all the dust bunnies, etc….
