I have done some cleaning and organizing in my room, bedroom, office, studio all in one nice space. I consolidated most of the paintings, prints, and frames into one location from four. Once a year the condo has a paper shredding truck on site, took over a massive pile of files yesterday. Next year, I can shred the files from settling my father's estate, that will free up some space.
I am physically feeling well, other than my daily sneezes, the hot humid weather brings lots of irritants.
I, too, am worried about making travel plans. Glad you’re feeling well despite the sneezes. That annual paper shredding service is a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteI realized I have a 1.5 file drawers of tax returns, I need to sort out.
DeleteWith my hands over my ears, I am not listening to news from my far west, and even further far north east. There are plenty of safe places in the world.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, you should be safe down under.

DeleteI totally agree with you. As these days seem to get harder and harder to take because of the news and he who should not be named, it's good for us to have distractions and our happy places to go. I also agree that travel could be a little dangerous at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAny nice distractions this weekend?
DeleteI can take the heat; in California summers often got up to 110 and higher but, and people loathe this, it was a dry heat.
ReplyDeleteIn Miami and South Carolina, as I'm sure it is in DC, the humidity gets me the worst!
DC was built in a swamp, it is almost always humid here.
DeleteI just took a bunch of shredding to the shredder about a month ago.
ReplyDeleteYou keep busy enough and it sounds like you are really enjoying retirement. I feel lazy some days but I tell myself I deserve the down time after all the years of work! ;)
ReplyDeleteTake comfort in the fact that there are people sneezing right along with you. This seems to be heavy season for pollen and other pollutants.
ReplyDeleteI can understand the hesitation for making travel plans. Last month I bought tickets to London in August. My feelings about going have been up and down.
