Fever Pitch

Saturday - Thursday. . . I'm sick. . .

Panty drawer, magazines, books, more books, refrigerator, and pantry purges!

Saturday: Not feeling too perky today, but I have energy enough for tossing panties! (Not all of them, silly! Just the ones that deserve to go away.)

Sunday: Oh, dear, I'm sick. Got some flu thing, ugh. Today, I will take it easy. Plus, who would want to be near me? I'm sequestered/quarantined, so the best I can do, declutter-wise, is languidly flip through a stack of magazines (they just keep accumulating!), and (later, when I'm feeling more mobile), stuff them into the recycling bin. Could be worse!

Monday: Well, now I have a higher fever and my ears hurt and my sinuses are killing me and blah blah blah. . . I'm a slugabed, drowsing and aching, and I finally have the time to read several random books that I "always meant to get around to" and, then, away they go to the give-away bag. . . makes for a very weird Labor Day weekend.

Tuesday: and I do the same today, more books and recuperating. . . after trying to accomplish undone stuff, which results in me feeling so wiped out. I am lucky to have the time to space out (and make more space, even if it's just in the bookcase)!

Wednesday: Hooray! I'm getting better, but I'm not particularly ambitious. So I put my head in the fridge (so refreshing!) and pull out old jam jars. Some of them, I'm not even sure what flavor they are - were - (no labels - what's up with that?!, an aroma that is sort of sharp-smelling, and a color that is not tasty-looking) - yuk! Some things are easy to toss!

Thursday: Upright, almost clear-headed, and full of ambition, I give the pantry a semi-thorough going-through. Who knew we had so many packets of unsweetened Kool-Aid? And. . . why? It feels good to have a neat pantry with no mysteries.

Goodbye to the flu, goodbye to more stuff!
