It's in the Bag

I'm still fairly exhausted, especially since yesterday's drive, so it was all I could do to wake up enough to drop off some sundries at the local farmer's market then shop at our usual supermarket. It didn't take long to achieve unconsciousness upon our return, and thank goodness I slept most of the afternoon away. No regrets! Once dinner was done we tackled the mound of overnight and carrier bags and such that we've accumulated over the years (so many from Rothstein Kass! you wouldn't think six years of service could produce that much swag). Aside from the tote bags which can be squished anywhere and may still come in handy when it's time to pack for the move, they're all now in the throwaway pile, and Robin was able to fit our actual suitcases and backpacks (some of which were newly-bought a few months back, and three of which were his suitcase set brought over from England 30 years ago) into the tiny closet in the library. So we're now almost back to where we were prior to the Great Rafter Clean-Out of Aught-Twenty-Six. Just a bit more shredding to go, then we start looking through non-financial boxes. But all that is for another day...
