1. I have spent the last few years just sitting back and watching clutter build up around here. This weekend, I decided to start digging in and working on that. I started in the kitchen this morning, cleaning out the pantry and some of the cabinets. I have a couple more lower cabinets still to do, and then a shelf, but I am making progress. Then, an extra bookshelf in the dining room for games and trinkets that mean a lot to us. Then I give myself a short break before starting in on the basement, the worst of the problem. But it will feel so good when it’s all done.

2. It’s been a big soccer weekend. The end of the season for Bundesliga (so close, Dortmund! Maybe next year?). The end of the season for Premier League (sorry to see Leicester City get relegated, but so happy that Nottingham Forest will stick around! I love an underdog! And yay again, Man City, because I also love a winner.) And Sporting KC is getting stronger, especially with today’s home town win over Portland, 4-1. It’s good to see them coming together as a team and getting the ball into the net.

3. The last couple of weeks at work have been intense. We hired a couple of part-time proofreaders, so I’ve been training and trying to juggling everything that needs to get done. This round of catalogs should be easier with the extra help, but it will take time to get them trained well. Anyway, I am so grateful for the 3-day weekend, so I can spend some extra time chilling on the sofa with this guy.
