Weekend Wrap-up

This weekend, I finished off my self-imposed Fall Cleaning effort, which was equal parts actual cleaning and junk organization. When it comes to things in need of disposal, the house is really like a giant digestive system, with stuff we use frequently on the upper floors and clutter gradually making the hajj down to the basement guest bedroom closet where, if we haven't searched for it in a few years, it gets unceremoniously ejected out the back.

Now, there is at least one clear shelf in every room for the next generation of clutter, and all of the remaining junk is neatly organized so it can be located in a knick knack emergency. The assortment of detritus that finally reached the trash can included a broken camera from 2005, the Jumanji board game, red/white audio cables that haven't been hooked up in a decade, and four nearly empty paint cans of GLORIOUS GOLD, MILK CHOCOLATE, and ROYAL BEIGE that have since solidified into a single lmpy mass. Somehow though, I still have two unopened cans of PUFFIN BAY GREY -- I really overestimated on that bedroom paint job.

Rebecca was off at yoga teacher training during this project, but we reconvened on Saturday evening for a belated birthday dinner at my parents' where we watched the movie, What We Do in the Shadows. On Sunday evening, we had carryout from Joe's Pizzaria and watched more of Fargo.

How was your weekend?
