Two weeks ago, I set out on an adventure to purge and rearrange my workspace. I haven’t done anything with my space after the initial purge, and boy does this space look terrible. Stuff is spread all over.

My only consolation is that I have a Saturday at Home this weekend, and I can probably get much of this cleared away in 1/2 hour. I just need to apply myself to the task.

I do really want to purge this space, but I also realize that I have run out of enthusiasm. I think it’s because I’m paralyzed by the thought that Thanksgiving is next week. Which means Christmas is about 5 weeks away, or so. There is a photograph to be taken and printed, cards pulled together, a Christmas letter to be written, decorating to be done. I do have cards, some stamps, address labels, return address labels, paper, and two kids that are very happy to do assembly line card stuffing.

I feel so behind, but that’s just because there’s too much clutter about right now for me to just sit down and see how much ahead I really am. I can get to that point this weekend. I really can.

A Hell of a Mess
