Day 242: Straighten
OK, enough with the feelings for now. Time to empty a box or two. I haven’t really messed with the garage/ basement since we moved in last month. There are still some boxes down there that haven’t been touched. And … Continue reading
Day 220: Shuffle
OK, today might be a bit of a cheat–but it’s something. We have had a modest pile of boxes sitting in the front room of our house. They were neatly piled, but still: a pile of boxes is a pile … Continue reading

Day 150: Open

Day 126: Clear

Day 119: Repeat
Boy, there are some days when I think: what a boring blog this must be! Especially on days like today–no big revelations, no deep insights, and no house-cleansing purges. Just basic, daily maintenance. One little insight–though it’s something I’ve commented … Continue reading
