We get by with a little help from our friends.
Well, the house is clean (I mean REALLY clean), and I'm still sorting and throwing out unnecessary items that have been cluttering my office. I have to get tax info to the accountant this week, and thus it seems, I am forced to go through all of the stray paperwork in order to find the 7 pieces of paper that were stacked on the corner of my desk when we left a month ago.
It's all for the best. I am far too capable of putting a lid on a box of old paperwork and calling it a footstool. Now, inspired by the efforts of friends who helped get the dust and disarray under control, I'm continuing the clearing efforts.
A couple of comments ...
1) I had the most beautiful wedding EVER! I just got the opportunity to revisit it, and the incredible efforts of our friends, when I sat to dust off the individual pictures that had been dumped out of their box.
2) If you buy a set of empowerment cards, like Louise L. Hay's "Power Thought Cards", then in the event your home gets vandalized; you are interrupted by positive input, as you come across another place where one of these cards has been flung.
Those of you that were at our wedding will remember Doloris the Guacamole Goddess; the woman who made the never-empty punch-bowls full of guacamole. She came out for several days, and where I had been chasing dust from room to room, she took no prisoners. She swept and mopped door jambs, window frames, and walls. She folded carpets over and vacuumed the undersides. I asked her how she knew to mop the walls. I would not have thought of mopping the walls until I'd chased the dust around the house a couple more times. She said (with the tone of "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!"), "Rhonni, I grew up in Mexico ... we *know* about dust."
So I wanted to let you all know that everything is coming back together, and while the deep clean and changing all of our bank accounts was not on the schedule ... I'm making the best of the direction in which I've been pointed. More sorting is on the schedule for tomorrow. It gets cold again tomorrow night (43 degrees), so we'll build a fire in the fireplace and destroy all of the old checkbooks etc.
