Standing Tall... In My Garage?

I am getting some parallel bars this weekend!!

I am extremely excited because that means that I will be able to continue to practice my walking with braces without having to be in India. I intend on putting them to great use and creating a new habit out of the whole thing.

Purchasing them off of a terribly kind heart from Craigslist I hope they are what I need and what will really help to push me to the next level of my body and soul.

My plan is to put them together (they are 10 feet long) in my garage. The problem is that I will have to do some major not-quite-spring cleaning. When my grandmother passed away a little over two years ago, I became very blessed to have my garage become the resting place of most of her worldly possessions. There are tables and chairs and mirrors and fake cacti (my grandma was a huge South West art fan) and photo albums and rugs and probably a kitchen sink as well. This has never been a problem for me, seeing as my grandmother is the most important soul in my life and having to be reminded of her every time I push the garage door opener served really as a treat more than anything.

The challenge now becomes: What to keep and what to give away?
...Perhaps I will just stack things higher and closer instead.
