No, really

I've been housekeeping, and enjoying it immensely.

No, really. I don't often get a day that's sunny enough that I'm not propping up my mood, when there's very little specific that I need to get done, and when I actually have time to consider the poor arrangement of shelves in my kitchen and what I can do about it.

Similarly, I'm going through the pile of papers that's built up on my library coffee table and finding that a lot of them can be recycled. Some of them were never meant to be kept in the first place and somehow found their way into that pile rather than the Shredding Box. Work that you don't have to do is such a nice discovery!

(I also found that the window in the spare room was open, which explains why it's been so cold in here and also why Mrs. H. downstairs has got her heat cranked so high.)

So I'm trotting around, throwing things away and picking things up and hanging things in closets, sweeping the laundry room floor and putting things in neat piles for Basement, Garage, Car Trunk, Goodwill, and so on.

Somewhat improbably, this is actually fun.
