Snow bound

Since we have been staying home this week, there's been no car rides for good naps. So, the last three days I have 'recreated' the carseat (which puts her to sleep sometimes before I even have her strapped in!) by putting the bouncy seat back into commission - I have it on our bog coffee table, sitting next to me and facing the window so she can see the light and sky - just like the back window of the car. Today, she fussed a bit for only a few minutes and zonked out! Why didn't I think of this MONTHS ago!?!

Triple S and I did a little goal exercise last night. I had asked him a week or so ago about it, he forgot, I asked him again and it was like the first time he had heard the idea! But I used the 'new year' card. He actually ended up liking it, we got to discuss or ideas/hopes/dreams about the move. I told him I had been reading these minimalist things and wanted him to know so he knew where I was getting all these 'weird' ideas from. It was good. I jotted notes - so we can remember!

In pursuant with my goal to get rid of at least a few things every week, I've got a plastic grocery bag of clothes to go to Remains and a paper bag of clothing and hair accessories (haven't seen my new haircut yet?) to go to consignment. Remains is a cool business. They'll take old clothes, sell them locally if 'good' enough, and trickle down through selling internationally to developing countries. If the cloth (they take all cloth, like linen, upholstery, curtains) is not good enough for that, they recycle the fibers. So, I send my stained or other bad stuff there.

I dusted Serenity's shelf today. That frees up some time for me on Sunday. I think I will finally sit and read some of 'They Were Still Born.' I am thinking that the essays don't need read in order? I am not sure which I will read; maybe one of the authors that I am not familiar with.  I haven't felt like I had the space to read in this book yet, but I want to take some time for it.

Hm, I have a chiropractor appt. tonite. That means I have to leave the house and go into the cold. Brr.  It's been nice hibernating this week. I think I needed it, emotionally and house chore wise. Outings with Bea take a lot of time and energy. The house is feeling so much more peaceful.
