It’s amazing what a peace of mind and a calmness comes with a little bit of order. I finished my revisions last week and my reward was to stay up all night reading Beach Music. What a fanatastic book!
My parents came for the week-end and my step-father and I spent Sunday cleaning up the back yard, the garden pond, and the decks. So, here it is on Monday morning and my house is in order and the yard and decks look lovely and I’m really psyched to get started on a proposal and then the next book! I won’t spoil it by thinking that sooner than later it will all slide back into chaos. :O
On a serious note, let me encourage everyone to search on your computer for registered sex offenders in your area. You want the list that is put together by your state. In Georgia, you are given, by zip codes, name, address, and often a photo. It will also list what the offense was. Color me neurotic, I want to know the pedophiles and rapists that live around me. I want to know my enemies.

On Monday mornings I run around try to put the house back together so that peace and quiet and neatness reigns … for a few hours anyway.

Good idea! I think it’s the Flylady or maybe it was one of the endless magazine articles that I’ve read on organizing your home that says take something with you that’s out of place and put it where it belongs every time you go somewhere in your house. Uhhh…I’m not usually that…aware. They make it sound so easy :doze: and obviously they don’t live with the *drop* crowd that I live with–as in, wherever they drop it is where it belongs. :angry:
