Until then, slow but steady, chipping away at low priority but necessary stuff I&#8217;ve put off too long.<\/p>\n<p>I am clearing piles of stuff in my office.   One of the piles included receipts going back to 2018&#8230; so I did find a few things to keep.  Some purchases should really be documented, since they come with other paperwork anyway.  And sometimes it&#8217;s good to be reminded how much you paid for something- either as a &#8216;score&#8217; or as an object lesson in what not to do.<\/p>\n<p>I also got some piles of stuff sorted.  At the moment I&#8217;ve got a bin of &#8220;parts or craft&#8221;, &#8220;fix this stuff&#8221;, and &#8220;working small electronics or gadgets.&#8221;   Found a bunch of stuff I&#8217;d forgotten or misplaced.  Nice watch.  Handy talkie.  Repair parts I&#8217;d ordered.  I&#8217;m vacuuming as I clear parts of the floor.   There is a shocking amount of hair that isn&#8217;t mine, and little bits of debris everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>I like to be surrounded by &#8216;stuff&#8217; but it&#8217;s getting out of hand.  So I&#8217;m poking at it.  We&#8217;ll see how much progress I make before getting pulled off to something else.<\/p>\n<p>Today though, D2 has her school activity &#8216;work day&#8217; followed by a party.  W has a doctor appointment in the morning, and I have one in the afternoon.  It&#8217;ll almost be like a regular school day, and I won&#8217;t have had enough sleep.<\/p>\n<p>What doesn&#8217;t kill us leaves marks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Stack something! <\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooler, damper, winter?
