And a Few Weeks Later...

I got my clothes done per the KonMari method.  Then, I broke a little with her her order of things.  We (myself and my husband) got the backroom set up as a playroom/library.  We cleared out a closet that I had been storing clothes and are now storing items with greater purpose.  Due to our limited space, in order to get the tiny kitchen done, I need to get the dining room--which actually isn't my space but belonging to the family member with whom we live--done.  That means taking bins and boxes to Goodwill and the Friends of the Library Book Den. We need to hang up her pictures and get her trash and recycle that she has allowed to collect on surfaces taken care of.  Also, she has things that belong in her room hanging out in the dining space. So those need to move.  She has described how she wants the space set up, so that means we need to do it for her.  (She has been diagnosed with severe, long-term depression which has dramatically impacte...

Forest Scene

Grass wasn't safe.  She felt her breath catch in her chest as she ran, listening for the sound of people behind her.  She could not tell if the whistle and thud was pursuit or animals in the grass.  All was alien.  Strange. And then a lone shadow appeared, long and lean with branches curving in the dusk sky.   She let out a sigh, wanted to slow but was certain that if she did, she would be caught. So she ran for the next shadow and the next until they gathered around her.  Tall, long and solid.  Their bark rough on her hand as she stumbled, caught herself. Here she could move!  She leaped over roots and underbrush.  She was comforted by the sounds of the night birds and buzzing insects. Here she knew what it meant when the night sounds stopped.  She clamored up a tree and watched the lithe shadow of a predator stalk below her.  Nestled amid boughs and leaves she realized that her pursuers would have no knowledge to look u...

Storming into March

My efforts to clean and maintain the house progress but there are points when I feel the greatest adversary I have at the moment is the weather.  Bins and boxes of items bound for the Book Den--the local Friends of Library Bookstore-- and the Goodwill have collected in the dining room and every Saturday for the past month or so, the rains have come, discouraging me from pursuing anything outside the house beyond what I must.  I have at least made a weekly habit of "assisting" my mother-in-law with her room, and I have gotten that space sorted so that there is a place for everything.  It should progress to become easier to maintain and, with luck, she will begin to develop the habit of taking care of it herself.  However, as she battles severe depression, I am working at withholding expectations. I have managed to keep up with our dishes for two weeks running and meal planned for a whole month.  Currently I'm working on getting my son on a schedule for napp...
