Little Things

Y'know how it looks like a house goes up SO fast when they're first building it, and it's a matter of getting the studs and drywall and roof done? But it goes so slooow when it comes down to the light switches and the wallpaper and the grout?

It seems like the moving-in went pretty fast for the first couple of days. Couches and beds and dishes and those easy decisions about where things belong. But now it's a matter of sorting through all those little things: papers that have been piling up on a stack for the last 3 years, or the doobers in a junk drawer, or the camera that I can't remember whether it's broken or just has a bad battery. I've spent the whole day on just my bedroom, and my efforts hardly show! But things will be better organized, especially for the new [smaller] space, and a lot of doobers have hit the trashcan, and that's a good thing.

  2. You know what doobers are! They're cousins of doohickeys and thingamabobs.
