TODO List

TODO list and work shoes await...

My posting frequency has been down, because I have been chewing away at a pre-move TODO list. So far, I have hung a medicine cabinet, moved a towel bar, installed base shoe, painted trim, and distributed attic insulation. The flapper valve in the main floor commode gave out, so the list grows as I chip away at it. This reinforces the idea that I would be better off in a townhouse, when I relocate.

Much of the work involves getting rid of junk that had some value to me at one point. (And might in the future!) Even if I were not moving, this process makes me feel more free.
