Tuesday after a long weekend really is the worst. We had a nice weekend at the cottage, lots of kidlet time, sat around the fire every night, had some really nice meals and some pretty good weather. I think the best part was the 2 hours we spent on the beach on Sunday afternoon with my nephew. We sat on a blanket in the sun and read and ate chips and relaxed while he built a “house” in the sand. Just blissful. And I barely sunburned!
Zh. and I both read (well, she started, and then I stole and finished before I gave it back to her – she’s still reading) “It’s All Too Much” by the Clean Sweep dude, Peter Walsh. It’s a program for decluttering, very much focused on getting rid of stuff (as opposed to many decluttering books that deal mostly with storage of your too-much-stuff). I came home all fired up to get rid of all the stuff that just hangs around for no reason other than we own it and we (or someone) at some point paid money for it. I’m not all that attached to possessions, (other than maybe cookbooks, kitchen stuff, and crafty stuff) so the idea of clearing out the excess just makes me really excited. Maybe too excited… Next thing you know, we’ll be living in an empty apartment.
