Yesterday, I pretty much stayed inside. I did take some time getting more stuff together. I can’t take most of it out too soon, since if I do, the plastic bags will deteriorate. But I did make a little room out of the traffic lanes so I can fill more. I also got caught up on responding to my cousin’s emails. I had let her know I wasn’t ignoring her and why – she was sweet enough to say “Your predicaments make mine seem like tiny glitches. Just one of your current situations would drive me up a wall.” That, of course, is nonsense – her whole career was as a public school teacher, so I’m sure she could cope with anything.
