It’s interesting, being an extrovert, trying to be alone. My whole family is away on vacation for a week and I opted out. I’m not sure e-mailing and phone calls count as solitude, but that’s OK. The first few days have been good, although I’m still a bit unsure of why introverts like this so much. I’m cooking the food I want rather than trying to please. I’m watching the movies I want to watch. It’s a good exercise and I’m learning things, but I’m sure a week will be enough.

We have begun both cleaning and simplifying, taking one room or section of a room at a time. This weekend was the dreaded utility/former laundry room. (Room formerly known as laundry or RFKAL) So we removed literally everything from the RFKAL and put it in the back yard and then had to touch each item and find it a home or throw it away. I must admit it was a completely cleansing feeling to ditch stuff I KNOW I’m never really going to use again. It’s BEAUTIFUL, or as beautiful as a the RFKAL can be!!!

Mostly my house is so bad, cluttered, not dirty, that I don’t know where to start. I need someone to help me focus on one thing and get it done.
