The house at least feels cleaner for that first day. My problem is that when I start cleaning, I go crazy cleaning, getting out Q tips and tiny brushes, and moving furniture. Suddenly I am cleaning for hours that I did not set aside for cleaning. Typically, only one room in my house is clean at a time because of this.

That book sounds really good. All the books I did keep are still packed and in the garage, so I only have access to the ones I've brought into the house since moving here, or the ones you've sent me! Love the Oliver poems. She has a gift for catching those ineffable moments, I feel like she is right there with me, maybe even is me, as I read them. So simple!!! So deep! xo
