Summer!

Darlyne, your circulation should be great–alternating between heating and thawing like that. :)

Yesterday I finally was inspired to work on the clutter in my den/computer/main living area, but where to begin!? To put anything away I had to first clear old stuff out of drawers and files to make room for current use. What do the rest of you do with all the solicitations for money?! My name must be is on every humanitarian, environmental, animal, health, and political mailing list (every party)–even the Hemlock Society! (which has changed its name according to a recent letter)! Even the three subscriptions I have start sending renewal notices six months ahead of expiration! If I give, they want more. If I don’t give, they increase the number of mailings. When they do that I’m more inclined to give nothing. I resent the fact that I’ve allowed them collectively to become a burden. After seven hours of sorting: discard, recycle, shred, decide about giving, file, things are only marginally improved on the surface but I do feel good about the progress. Will continue today–but I need a cup of coffee first.
