OK -- now I'm going to be so annoyed at myself that I won't be able to sleep through the night. Yep - it happened again! And I'm "losing" so much of my morning! But let's try to put it behind us and not worry about it. I did NOT nap during the day, and I had even gone for a long walk.

I'm not a messy person by nature. I used to be super neat and tidy until M came along, and then my brain went to mush. This "new" philosophy of tidying and cleaning started well over ten years ago, but getting back on track is ...
