Feeling uninspired

I don't know what it is. Now that I'm not working, I'm not very motivated for other things either. I did gear up last week and cleaned all three floors of our house. That actually takes much longer than you would think because before you can actually wipe something, you need to redistribute the three tons of crap that's on top of it. There was more stuff going up and down the stairs (to places that seemed more logical than the original locations) than a freight elevator should be asked to handle. There was an occasion to clean for (there usually has to be for this household to tidy up). Julia turned 5 on Wednesday and my family came for her birthday party on the weekend.

It was wonderful to have them visit and Julia got a ton of presents. She truly is spoiled rotten. My in-laws bought her (and Allie) all kinds of things the week before, then she got gifts from our daycare provider and her family, then she got a gift from us on her birthday, then she got more presents at her party. Quite the haul, it was. Where it's going to go, I have no idea. Actually, that's not true. Later this week or next week, this family is going to try to simplify. I want to open a closet door and have room to put something inside. After 10 years in this house, that's not the case right now. There'll be more on this project later.

In the meantime, I have to go shopping for interview clothes today. Yes, that does mean something. Wish me luck!

Good luck with the interview. Remember, it's always wise to lick your palm just before you shake hands with the interviewer.

Sorry the Hughes's have maintained a bit of a radio silence recently, somehow my time appears to have evaporated. We'll have to web chat at some point. I'm free most of this weekend and I'll leave ichat running.

Thank you all. Think of me on Wednesday at 2:00 central time. I'll be the one wearing the stunning new clothes.
