Cleaning House..

OK, it was about time for some serious effort along those lines. We have been trading off some sort of respiratory crud for the past couple of weeks now, and neither of us has had an abundance of energy. So things sort of piled up. A lot.

The good and bad thing about a small living space is that it cleans up and clutters up fast. The lasting problem is that there is no place to put stuff. We live in a duplex designed for one. There is a second bedroom, but it is full of dog kennels and totes. Thank heaven for the Alaska suitcase. Of course, as winter approaches, it is necessary to keep the winter clothing tote open and reasonably close at hand. You never know what you might need to grab on the spur of the moment.

Today will be a busier day-we spent yesterday cleaning and relaxing. Lesson plans must, of course, be completed, and my desk needs some tender attention. We have a group of exchange students coming in from Fairbanks this evening, so we need to prepare for that as well. I will go to Bethel on Tuesday, weather permitting, with two of our students that are competing in the district speech competition. I need to do sub plans as well...
