Hunkering down
Jan. 7th, 2024 10:29 amWinter will be officially here next weekend, with the season's first snow. We're currently forecasted to get about 3 inches, which isn't as bad as other parts of the US are being hit with...but I'm still planning to go shopping, stock up, and minimize my driving after that point. People get crazy-stupid when the first snow hits, just like people in CA get crazy-stupid when the first serious rainfall hits and the roads change. It's not a free-for-all, it just slows driving a lot. I'd rather not deal with that.
I've started spring cleaning - not just cleaning the house, but downsizing. I have clothing that no longer fits, I have some books that I read once or twice and just didn't care for, I have boxes of old papers that I brought with me from my former house (eight years ago!!) and haven't looked at since, I have some old end tables (one of which isn't actually being used for anything). I need to get all of this stuff out. I'm planning on working on a room - each week. That'll keep things manageable, and I'll actually see progress.
