Random Thoughts

I love looking at pictures of Cottages.

I almost talk myself into re-doing a room or two

in our home to look like the pictures I swoon over,

and then I see it....SO MUCH STUFF!

This Beautiful Picture Is From A Beach Cottage

I mean, like pretty things, but pretty things EVERYWHERE

and then I realize why I do not decorate that way....

I would have to dust and clean all that stuff!

And I realize, being a person who really does NOT

like clutter, that I am quite happy with the non-clutter

 in my house. With the exception of the basement, which is currently

under de-clutter construction. (if that is a proper way to say it

and if it's not, I don't think I mind, cause it makes sense to me!!)

Speaking of the basement, I have turned the corner!

I would say that it is 80% done as far as cleaning and de-cluttering

goes. There are things that I have no control over, like the things

that were left behind from our children, and my husband's

recording studio things, but that in which I do have control over

I have been purging, giving away, throwing away, organizing,

and really loving the feeling of getting things out of the house

that should have been gotten rid of long ago!

My bruises are healing very nicely from my run in with

the stump and other "weapons of mass destruction" on

our river bank....I am feeling pretty normal at this point
other than the lump that is there, which I suspect is
on the hip bone itself and will take a while to repair.

I am doing a bit of experimentation with some herbs and vitamins

to help with my fibromyalgia and am hoping to see some

positive results from them. I will keep you posted if I do!

I need to get back to "real" life, nuff said.
