Exhaustion Sets In

I don’t think I mentioned how very long the day was yesterday - I’ll do it now; it was long.


And so was today.


I had no energy for anything, not even the gym (pity, that) - and yet I managed to do a great deal within the household.


There have been lingering, niggling little things that have been the cause of some consternation but - act upon them?


I never did.


That is, until now.


I don’t know what possessed me, really - but suddenly, even being as tired as I was, I couldn’t take it another moment and slowly, little by little, I began a bit of a ‘clean up’.


Now, it seems my partner was affected by the same malady and through a bit of deduction, we’ve come to the conclusion that our desire to ‘get things organized’, stems from a visit to some new arrivals to our building.


The gutted their condo and started over from the bare bones.


They also left things minimal, once done.


Our condo is a little bit ‘Curiosity Shop’ cum ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ - I exaggerate, of course…


Winnowing.


This is going to be our watch word from now on.


Surfaces.


This is what we’re searching for - that, and cabinet/storage space.


How can two people have so many things!?


In due time it will all be winnowed.


Today was a start.


And as they say -


‘Slow and Steady Wins the Race’.


Boa Noite.
