Peaceful Easy Feeling

The trash at the curb went away this morning; it represents years of feeling closed in and helpless. Gone, baby, gone. I can only imagine what it'll be like when the whole house has been decluttered. Better Homes and Gardens, here I come!

Dropped off three boxes of donations at a thrift store, yay! And didn't buy anything, double yay! (Did look around and contemplated a pair of bookcases, but this was one time no money worked in my favor. They were nicer than the ones I have, but the ones I have are free and clear.) A few more boxes out the door, by golly, and my living room will not have brown boxes on the floor.

In two weeks, GK will be here. I'd say "two short weeks", but I suspect they won't be. I have a lot to do between now and then: laundering linens, cleaning the kitchen, and I've really got to go nuclear on both bathrooms. I may be lackadaisical about housekeeping when it's just me, but GK has higher standards and at some point, I suspect she'll want to pee and shower. I'd rather not get The Look from her when she emerges.

As usual, it seems to happen every year around this time, we're having another cold snap and talking about chances of frost overnight. Just when you think it's safe to take the comforter off the bed---!
