Hi,

I have a headache and don’t feel so good.
I’m hungry and the kitchen is in disarray.

Yeah, hubby meant leave as in leave me. He was upset because I spoke to him out side in the parking lot when I was in my car going on an errand and he was in his car arriving home. If we were inside when I asked him about the package that arrived today he would have simply ignored me.

Friend and I went through boxes and dumped lots of stuff. I had been keeping lots of books, teaching materials, teaching supplies that I use for work. I greatly reduced that. Other stuff is simply junk. I got rid of some of that today, but there is more to throw away.

The stuff that was left we put into categories. A lot of that stuff that I didn’t feel like making a decision about can still be thrown away. It was very hard for me to concentrate and do that kind of task – that’s why the stuff has been taking up space – too hard to figure out what to do with it. I took lots of breaks on the sofa and closed my eyes.

We asked hubby and the cleaning lady to carry out and toss some bookcases and other things that were making the living room crowded. Some furniture got rearranged. The place looks less like a cramped warehouse now and more like a place where people live.

The cleaning lady and hubby spent an hour or two putting together a complicated sofa table from Penneys that came in a box last summer. After that they spent forever fixing our old wobbly kitchen table.

Cleaning lady is coming back tomorrow to clean.
