and November is

   closet cleaning month --- 

   I am a clothes hoarder -- I like clothes ... lots of clothes -- but the crazy thing is I wear a select few favorites over and over again.  It's a problem.  Not that this is an excuse, but I have a very small closet -- the smallest one in the house -- so I flip summer / winter clothes in November/April -- and in between if I see something I like I buy it - that damn internet makes it easy, to easy.   Bad Marie.  Today, I purged summer -- only one tub went into storage and one bin of summer shoes 

   So there's more bags for the thrift shop -- I haven't sorted thru the summer dress rack (that's downstairs - I bag them up and store on a hanging rack for winter) and I need to dash out to the cabin and retrieve what's out there .. not much -- once this project is done I can move on to other things  

   Yesterday, I hired a cleaning service to deep clean the house.  It was Mom's idea and once I warmed to it - action happened.  Katie has a friend that owns a residential cleaning service.  I have to admit, my conversation with them was really detailed -- and pleasant -- and less expensive than I thought -- it's not a big house but scrubbing baseboards, walls, appliances, cleaning windows was not on my October agenda.  

   Now that I've had a rest break -- time for a shower, laundry sorting, garbage hauling and loading thrift shop shit in the truck.  Then to work for more of the same ... it is time to winterize the office -- said cleaning service may arrive there also .. 

   okay, the boss called -- needed McDonald's delivered the BLC because lunch was "awful" .. evidently 1/2 her dining partners thought the same and none of them ate the nasty looking chicken sandwich -- so I left work and delivered a 4a w/a large unsweetened iced tea .. 

   seriously, I cannot make this shit up ....
