Are you taking a daily Allegra or Zyrtec or perhaps keeping Sudafed on hand? I almost sneezed just reading about those books, even knowing they've only been in place in that new house for a couple of years. I suspect there are mouse pathways behind my books in the front room on that entire wall of bookshelves. It is probably this process you're going through now that unconsciously started me looking at my own dusty books and considering streamlining the house. Take motivation from wherever when it comes along.

It also reminds me of a couple of projects I've planned but put off regarding estate paperwork inherited from both parents.

The kitchen counters are almost clear as I prepare to start some baking of holiday breads. The gardens are at the perfect time for planting. I have plenty of things available to keep me busy at home and away from the exponential growth of the novel coronavirus. It's a shame we have to wait seven more weeks before someone starts doing something effective about this pandemic.
