It’s nearing 10:30 PM and I believe I have completed my day of purging and reorganizing my study. My bedroom also got a good dose, too. I have purged, cleaned, and reorganized the front room, the kitchen, the front hall closet, my bedroom, and now, my study. The basement, second floor dorm room, and attic will be attacked later in the month.

It feels great!

Except for a two-hour dinner break with Mama Kay, I worked from 9 AM until 10 PM. I made twenty-four trips to the paper recycling bin and I’ve two more loads, yet. I did not get to my personal correspondence and hopefully, I can count on myself to do so before I commence with teaching tomorrow afternoon.

A huge slow-down for the purging process was going through all the papers to make certain nothing of importance was being tossed. With that process came a good deal of resurfacing memories.  Since childhood, I have tried to save every card and letter written to me by Mother, my maternal grandparents, and my great-aunt, Joyce Clary Riser. I ran across quite few today that I had forgotten about. These four souls are no longer with us, but I still have so much of them with me in several ways.

Most of my music library is reorganized and I hope that after ten years of things being in the same spot, I can easily retrieve items as needed.

My writing desk is prepped and ready for me to use it. It’s a large piece of work-furniture that I rescued from Brady & Amy Kress before they had it hauled off. It’s my version of the 19^th Century Wooten desk. I have TONS of storage and can spread out all my research and writing materials.

It’s now 10:50 PM and I hope to capture some relaxing time to pleasure read or take in a documentary to which I can devote my full attention.

It was a great day!
