Day 349: Crush
OK, it’s a “back to basics” post. It’s probably not a surprise that we still have some cardboard boxes lurking about the house. And equally unsurprising: the basement has started to pile up with empty boxes that “someday” will make … Continue reading
Day 342: Sweep
It’s been happening again–that slow but steady creep of entropy. It starts with the little things. A mail order catalog that’s left on a counter, instead of ending up in recycling. A stuffed animal that worked its way out of … Continue reading
Day 316: Arrange

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
