Every Little Thing - Day 27

Pudgy since the beginning ... 

Why do holiday weeks go so fast, and yet also incredibly slow? Why do you get to Saturday night and realize just how much you could have done, and yet, here at Saturday night, you're just feeling blah, and not in the mood for much of anything? 

It's not even like holidays of years gone by, where there was a magical metric F-ton of family to visit, dine with, etc. It was just us, and my parents. Pretty casual; relatively quick; nothing profound. 

I got profusely exhausted after the first meal - probably too much protein and fat - but I did manage to get quite a bit of progress made on the Great Purge of '22. I am learning to let a lot of things go. Today, I let go of a coat that I supposedly wore as an infant, along with two archaic pairs of baby shoes. Buh-bye. I also got rid of numerous things I'd been holding on to in the "arts and crafts" department because it's mostly apparent that I was never going to make anything with those things, and they were beyond usefulness for anyone else, either. Paints do have a shelf life. 

I also went on a rampage of purginess in the "tool" cabinets, which were badly in need of cleansing and reorganization. 

I did, too, manage to get some work-work done, and am also purging my inbox, as I got kind of lazy with it over the course of the past year. 

It feels good to let go. I may not be losing any personal poundage, but my mental self is getting exponentially lighter every time I tackle something else. I do little bits here and there. Nothing is organized, or planned. One time, I'll weed through my Google Photos and get rid of duplicates, and really terrible shots. The next time, I'll start working on my other cloud storage, decluttering the digital wasteland of my past. Then, it's a drawer here, or a cabinet there. 

Every little thing's gonna be all right. Decluttered, and perfectly all right.

- The morning coffee 

- Leftover pork from the previous night's dinner sauteed with Cajun butter, some red onions, atop a large chaffle with sour cream. Don't ask. It was good.

- About 2 bites of that salad that was left over the previous night, as well. It was disgusting. I could not.
