Acceptance is a phase….

(More trivialities – feel free to skip)

Time to acknowledge that in the same way that a little bit of setback can spiral me into the conviction that it’s all over and that I’m worthless, a little bit of accomplishment can restore me to the feeling of being fit for human society.

I’m talking, of course about decluttering, that Sisyphean business that I engage in when I don’t have business meetings breathing down my neck. It helps to have company coming over as well, because that allows me to see just how it all might look to someone who hasn’t seen it in a while.

I would like to be able to tackle the whole thing a regular way, with a schedule and top to bottom cleaning in the Heloise manner. But for me it only happens when I walk back and forth from area to area. I can’t guarantee what will get cleaned next, sorry to say. So it’s a little bit of progress in all areas at a time. And it generally takes two days for me to ramp myself up to that.

So company’s here and we’re museum bound.
