Day 67: Haul
So I’ve been trying to balance these daily experiments between what I suppose you could call “inside” and “outside” jobs. I’ve been inward turning for the past couple of days, so today seemed like a good day to focus on … Continue reading
Day 59: Distill
Well, here we are at the end of February. Last month, I took a couple of days to review everything I had written, and to try to extract some patterns in all of these daily experiments. I thought I would … Continue reading

Day 34: Excavate
Today it’s another small step–and one that I have tackled before–the overflowing cabinet of storage containers… and the deep-reach cave of kitchen cooking weirdness. I am always spilling out plastic storage containers onto the floor every time I go digging … Continue reading
