I’ve been a touch absent lately. I haven’t been reading blogs or commenting. I have been absent-minded and forgetful. I have had a lot on my mind. You see, we are moving. My brain has been filled with all things moving and there has been no space for much of anything else. I hate neglecting [...]
I have never, ever claimed to be a wonderful housekeeper. This apple fell far from the tree, rolled down the hill across the road and into a parking lot. The worst part is, I don’t like cleaning.

Yesterday, I swept and mopped the floor. Then the horde of people I call my family came home and now it looks as though I haven’t mopped in a week. My house was all clean, but I am preparing for a garage sale, so I’ve been collecting and organizing things to put in the sale. [...]
