This is really a poor picture to kick off a lately post because real reading has only been taking place, oh, 1/5 of the time (and that was too generous). Another 1/5 would go to eating–a mixture of apples, peanut butter, chips, smoothie, toast, chicken pot pie, and chocolate ice cream (I just listed what I ate today for you). Another 1/5 to cleaning. Oh yes! Hunts are doing some serious spring cleaning and it’s good. I tore through my closet with abandon. “Have I worn this in the last ten months?” (It has to be ten. Cause if you say six, good chance it was too cold to wear something since it’s cold here for 11 of the 12 months of the year. That was a dig at my state, yes.) If the answer’s no, into the bag it went. You should see my sweaters. Went down to about five. And they’re all gray. I briefly toyed with the idea of an Instagram closet sale and then decided I didn’t even want to bother, so I scheduled a Big Brother pick up. You should see the bags going. Books, toys, clothes, miscellany. Where does the miscellany come from, honestly? It rains from the sky and collects in my house, I swear it. Do the kids sneak it in? Scout the local papers for garage sales, visit them when I’m not looking, and just bring the stuff in the house hoping I don’t notice? Surely we did not buy it all. Mystery remains unsolved. Where am I at? Reading, eating, cleaning, we’re up to 3/5. Sleeping, oh yes the beautiful past time that is sleeping, would be another 1/5. And then perhaps being outside? We had a 75° degree day a few days ago. It was magical, it was glorious, it was perfection. It was really windy, but we can definitely overlook that fact given the temperature. So, that’s 5/5 if I’m not mistaken, and I could be mistaken, because it’s almost 11 pm and I’m very tired.
Goodnight. And good morning, because I’ll post this tomorrow.
your lately and my lately sound very similar. except for the fact that i'm trying to spend at least 4.5/5 of my time in some seated or laying position. it's making the spring cleaning extra challenging, let me tell you. but not impossible! oh no. just…slow.
I have also been on a spring cleaning kick. Last night after I got into my pjs I thought it would be a good idea to tackle the closet…..and once I started it was hard to stop. But I did manage to get rid of a whole bunch of clothes and pack all those bulky sweaters away until next year! And then this morning Boston was covered in icy frost/snow. Figures.
I need to do some major cleaning out too!! With our remodel going on I keep moving it from room to room… if nothing else I guess it's a bit of a workout!? 😉 This is definitely on my list of to-do for this Summer though!!
i'm doing the same thing with my wardrobe. plus i'm going back to school in the fall fulltime, so gotta have a yard sale and sell a bunch of shit. come to cambridge on may 17 if you want to go to a fun yard sale 🙂 haha
You're not alone in your leap to spring cleaning (just scrubbed my refrigerator) and the lack of decent reading time.
Sorry about your winter blues. If it were a normal thing to do, I would just swap houses with you for a bit! You could take my house here in NC since it's been pretty warm lately: In the eighties. (minus today, some sort of cold front came through) And since I despise the hot weather, and since it will last 9 months out of the year here, I wouldn't miss it. Haha!
Alright…I'll end this weather talk here. Ha!
I love a good declutter, isn't it the best feeling?
I love steinbeck! Have you read Travels with Charley yet?
Bridget! I have that book, but I've never read it. Do you like it?
i really like it! im only about a 1/4 of the way into it but it is soooo well written.
I'll read it, then! I have so many books that it overwhelmes me, and I never know which one to pick up and read. haha!
