Yesterday - 14 days before embarkation - I spent cleaning out my office. No, I did not fire myself. I'm just moving to a new corner of the same office and I need to do this before I go on vacation.
Paperless offices will never happen. That was obvious as I went through years of accumulated paperwork – Letters to the Editor, story submissions, interview notes, mock-ups dating back to 2003. I recycled a dozen out-dated phone books, not including the fattest ones that raise my computer monitor up to an ergo-dynamic height.
By the time I decided to throw in the paper towel, it was 7 p.m., giving me just enough time to catch the last couple of hours at the Interior Provincial Exhibition. That may have been a tactical error. By the time I left the fair, I had purchased a new steam mop, a set of microfibre sheets, two bead necklaces, a chai tea latte and made arrangements to have one of my goats bred as soon as I get back from holidays.
Today – 13 days before embarkation – I woke early – and started playing with my new mop. Who knew a cleaning tool could be so much fun? I steamed the hardwood floors, the tub surrounds, a set of blinds – I LOVE this thing.
Now that the office is cleaned out, the house is spic and span, I can concentrate on packing.
I'm just curious...did you steam clean the inside of your luggage too before packing(-:
