Happy Monday, friends!
Last week was a pretty social week. The repercussions of social weeks are that I don’t get all of the things I set out to get done, done.
That is how we get a pile of laundry on my bedroom floor that lasts for a few days until I work up the energy to tackle it. You just said hello, to my Monday night. I was just feeling like I got into a good routine with laundry too!
I had a great time with friends. It was worth it.
I’ve got a few podcasts to catch up on anyways.
One of the interesting things about laundry is that it never ends. My Dad is now understanding this as he had spent about 48 years of his life having my mom do his laundry for him.
He’s pretty cute about it though. He was telling me that he came up with a system of shirts and once he gets to #4 he knows it’s time to start the laundry load again. I admire his tenacity. I love that he is coming up with systems. Perhaps this is where I get that from? Either way, life goes on and so does laundry. We will get to it, sometimes we just have to live and wear clothes that need to be washed.
This week we have some more social commitments. I have to make sure my house is clean after we have friends over this weekend.
Dishes have piled up.
Time for me to delegate some responsibilities.

to dip in and apply. I like that it’s natural and I do it whenever I feel like it which is not every day.
