This morning, after Marty left for his gainful employment, Buckaroo, the Director of the Department of Home Optimization, called a work meeting. Given we had a quorum, he moved forward.
First on the list, Christmas decorations would be coming down immediately. This wasn't terribly difficult. Because it rained every weekend from Thanksgiving to Christmas, there wasn't much outside decorating this year. Also, we opted to go small. We had a Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree, no lights, a few decorations, only two three four nativity sets*, a wreath on the door and garland around the fireplace.
I then ran a few errands and came back to find the two young adults reorganizing the cabinets. Plus Buckaroo was cataloging all of the spare boxes, jars and bags we have--not a bad idea actually. I'm ashamed to admit I've bought too many jars of harissa at Trader Joes. The expired was tossed. The excess will be given to food banks in the local area.
All in all, our home already feels lighter.
Tomorrow, I tackle my desk.
A couple of photos.
*It's a Catholic thing. I assure you, I have plenty more.
