Downsizing

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single gentleman in posession of his own household must be in want of a maid. No wonder. Old age and work conspire against maintaining a household. I've been home a month and have rid my household of much, yet I swear I could be home another month and remain quite occupied with home improvement and home maintenance. No wonder there is so much to do because so much doesn't get done because of the demands of daily work and daily life. I am ready to make another run to Goodwill, whch will now have to be done one day after work. I already have two contractor bags for the regular trash collection. And there seems to be no end in sight. I wonder if there will ever be a day when ALL the shirts are ironed. Forty hours for the state seems daunting. September 15th seems so far away. Will it bring final release and return to normal? Meanwhile, I must keep the exeunt status of things in my household. This will help keep life somewhat manageable. Except now, there won't be as much time to think about it. However, exeunt is good.
