Book Club and Random Thoughts 8/28/18

The selection of the month for September 2018 is the Child by Fiona Barton.

We were told it starts out slow but the ending packs a whammy!  I couldn’t wait to get going and since I took the day off like a spoiled lady of leisure, I am already a 1/3 of the way through.  Yep!  I do not read books, I devour them.  Ah escapism at its’ best!!

I took another day off today as a spoiled woman of leisure.  And I did have plans to finish my cleaning/organizing project today but those plans went awry.  I have really been slacking in the housekeeping department.  I do the bare minimum – wash dishes, take out the trash, clean the bathrooms, weekly laundry and that is it.  Oh wait!  I am back to making my bed every day!  Darn you Admiral.  You have tapped into my compulsiveness.  But the heavy stuff is continually put off for another day.

And it is a scientific proven fact that messy/cluttered spaces lead to anxiety/depression.  Or is it that anxiety/depression exhibits itself by messy/cluttered spaces.  Which came first the chicken or the egg? And why did the duck  chicken cross the road?  Inquiring minds want to KNOW!   Or should we trust “they” whoever “they” are because “they” have said it is SO!

Sometimes it is the little things you know.  I slept in this morning.  When I got up, I started cleaning in the southwest corner.  I did a top to bottom clean of only our bedroom.  Based boards, window sills, vacuumed, dusted all surfaces to include the ceiling fan.  Yuck.  But not yuck.  Ya know?  Feels good.  Then I got sucked into my reading.  Broke for lunch and to publish this post and later I might get back at it.

Or not because there is always tomorrow or the next day or the day after that.    Until there isn’t and if there isn’t do we really care about the day before?  Deep stuff percolating in the brain today.  Deep stuff!

Any Who,  Happy Tuesday one and all.  I hope your day is special.  If you are reading this, know you are loved!

As always, more to come.
