This morning, I set out to get rid of some stuff. So far, I have thrown away newspapers, empty plastic bags, stale bread, crumpled paper, detached price tags, and spilled cat food. I really intended to cull some serious stuff. But I like my stuff. I moved things around a bit, put buttons in a bowl, stacked art paper, put pencils in a container, sorted pictures, made a pile of shoes, took clothes upstairs to the closet. Now I'm tired and sitting in the chair. The stuff will wait.

Since reading TINKERS by Paul Harding, I haven't read much. It has taken over my head and I can't think about any other book. But something else will come along. I want to read THE PASSAGE by Justin Cronin. That might be what I read on the way to Wales.

June 21 is the departure date for Wales. I have been thinking about what I should pack. I can't take more than I can carry. But I like clean clothes. I should make a list.

The kittens must go next week. I said that last week.
