Update

I've been working on a lot the past weeks. I painted my living and dining rooms-a project that's needed to be done for several years now. It looks great.

There's a new show on A&E called "Hoarders". I discovered it online the other day and watched the episode they had on the website. It was ... chilling. It was reassuring, in that my house is not now and never has been anywhere near the level of any of the homes shown. My dad's garage now, that was comparable.

It did get me to take a fresh look at some spots of the house that do still have piles. I tossed several bags of recycling, about 5 bags of trash and filled my trunk with items to go to Goodwill, all during breaks in the episode.

There but for the grace?
