Even though the weather outside mid-Ohio right now is pretty nice, low temps 30-ish at night, no snow, patchy sun that’s where I should be, right?! Where am I you ask? “creating a major storm in the bedrooms”!

I don’t know about you but as the holiday progresses everything seems to get dumped into one or two rooms; master bedroom

and my office! In the last few days and mainly today I’ve been tearing things apart and getting stuff put back where they belong.

But, then it gets even more complicated! I decide to oil all my natural furniture, baskets, trunks, boxes, wicker….anything that looks like it

needs a good oiling, even stuff that I don’t think has ever been oiled! I pretend that as I’m doing this and watch the oil soak in and the wood turns color, that a quiet breath is released…….”ah, that feels good! Thank you!” Makes me feel good and I know that at least for awhile that enormous task is done (I have got to stop collecting!!!!!).
