It’s a good thing I know the beginning of The Campus Survival Cookbook so well because the first 42 pages are missing. When scanning the cover, I brought only the cover and its attached pages to the computer. They’re around here somewhere, but it’s not essential I find them—yet. The initial…

Continue reading →: Another Cleaning Sunday SevenI survived the home appraisal! To celebrate, I took a break from the decluttering schedule for most of the week. But I did make a date for a couple to help me remove some of the larger, heavy items from my living room. Yesterday I jumped back into my schedule…
