Saturday: piano, walk, small things
Dec. 16th, 2023 03:25 pmR. took the Venetian Houses to the UPS store to ship it to a friend. Hopefully it will arrive in good order and she will have great fun with it!
I walked with M.
F. came and everyone did their lesson (I don’t; I’m just the enabler).
I did Small Things. I dusted a room. I made a slight adjustment to how a couple of tab top drapes hang so that they can be pulled fully to the side. In winter, that little extra light can actually be a good thing once the stabby sun is on the other side of the house.
I reduced the amount of stuff on top of my dresser, mostly be taking the wedding invitations out of the frames, putting the frames in the donate pile, and putting the invitations into a wedding album. I never really liked those frames and at this point, I am well and truly sick of them. If you are thinking, wow, unusual for walkitout to buy something and get sick of it! I didn’t buy them; they were a gift. And at some point, you just have to acknowledge that the frames that were part of the gift are really awful enough to get rid of.
T. did his laundry. I’m doing some laundry. I put the delicates that will be hung to dry in the new bags so they don’t have to be fished out of the main mass of wet things. I’m trying to build a new habit of this so that I actually run separate loads because that’s how we’ll be doing it if we do actually get a 2-in-1, which is the plan next month.
I also took all the dusty textiles off of bedside tables and am washing those. I took the opportunity to rationalize some charging cords. The dot is now on the other side of the bed, where the kindle charging cord already was, and which has now also been joined by the earbud charging cord. It’s just the watch and phone over on the other side now. I’m trying to make it so there are no power strips (power cubes, whatever) sitting on top of bedside tables where they can be knocked off and drag things down with them. I’ve attempted this sort of thing in the past, but it never seems to persist. I inevitably wind up making a change in a hurry that makes it all worse again. Oh well!
