Planning: overnights

Progress!

Getting rid of stuff–or dekludging, as we call it–happened to an actual perceivable degree this weekend. You see, Sunday was my birthday and what did I want? LESS stuff! My darling husband obliged by taking a day off from the giant mess of things we always have to get done, and...

The Things That Own You

The world has to learn that the actual pleasure derived from material things is of rather low quality on the whole and less even in quantity than it looks to those who have not tried it. – Oliver Wendell Holmes Wow, I’ve had a rough week. I feel positively weighed down...
