The room cleaning occurred in phases. From the paper work of phase one: It's the summer after high school...Should the worksheets about friendship utility value in psychology still be on my desk/chair/floor? Let it be noted that phase zero was in fact, getting everything OFF the floor and onto a desk/chair/raised flat surface. And the bookshelf of phase two: I love reading. I'd forgotten how much. And then through the closet of phase three: if ( (item == bought in middle school) || (item == torn) || (self && item != breathing) ) { self.throwOut(item); }

Weed it.
So therein lay the rediscovery of pieces still wearable. And notes still readable. Though a second runthrough seems like it will be necessary to get things I realize I haven't worn in this next month. Some more emptying out is necessary.

My sister is kind of amazing at crocheting. She's managed a teeny scarf thing. As well as a cap for one of her stuffed animal kitties. Damn. She volunteered to teach me, and I've taken her up on it.

The Lord of the Rings remains forever the single most amazing story ever written. It gets even better the seventh, eighth, ninth... time around.
