YIKES! What was I thinking?

OK in a moment of stupidity today I decided to go through Theresa's clothes and get out what doesn't fit her into boxes to donate. Well, she's got three dressers and a closet. I managed to fill one box out of the closet and a dresser drawer. This is gonna be a long project; not only do I have to get out what's too small I have to put up what fits. Organizing by socks, underwear, night clothes, school clothes and day to day wear. This is going to be fun. I'm already exhausted and box two still has a lot of room at the top of it.

I managed to put in the cover for the highchair we don't have anymore. Someone somewhere has to have a highchair they need an extra cover for. I think I'll donate that baby bathtub that it's easier to put them in the sink than use as well. I may very well have bitten off a lot more than I can chew.

I've been trying to down size for some time now so this is my beginning effort to requiring less space. The new home is still just a dream but it will have more built in storage than this one does, in the kitchen anyway. I want it to be small enough not to take a long time to clean and big enough that I can live the way I actually want to. I'd love to be able to get the house clean in less than an hour, spend some time outside and still get work done. I also want a raised garden.

OK mind is wandering more than it should so I'll be back later.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
