Fun is in the home freedom

Fun is in the home freedom.

It’s astonishingly staggering the space we make in every corner of our lives when we clean out the corners of our drawers, closets, and other living spaces.

In two words – extraordinarily freeing.

Being free is fun.

Having fun is a big part of why we exist.

No brainer, eh.

Busy, busy.

Goal for today – eliminate any remaining pile

Today begins day four of the first workweek as a retiree.

There was a fair amount of catchup work to do because the actual date only left 25 days notice.

Add in travel, a big work load, and a pressing deadline and you have the perfect recipe for the paperwork of life to pile up quickly.

Made a big dent in the pile yesterday.

Goal for today – eliminate any remaining pile.

The daily work required to free ourselves up from the burden of work left undone is insidiously draining.

What began as a slightly overwhelming task became hard to edit at the end

What began as a slightly overwhelming task became hard to edit at the end.

So it wasn’t (overwhelming).

No edits.

First draft.

Final draft.

Cryptic sometimes.

Much less often than in the past.

PS. This meant something 100 days ago and to be honest, it’s cryptic even for the author.

Yuck.

Sorry.

Have a beautiful day.
