Plodding Forward

Today?  It feels like I've been barely plodding forward.

Ever have one of those weeks where you know you have done a lot, but it feels and looks like you have nothing to show for it?

That's me at the moment. 

It feels like life is one enormous slog -- so much to do, barely enough time to get any of it done, and not getting the immediate results I was hoping for as yet.  Arrrrrrgh.

So today?  It's going to be a clear out the extraneous crapola day.  You'll be able to find me with a donation bin and a garbage bag running all over the house and picking through the dross to weed out the unwanted, unused, and unnecessary.  If nothing else, I'm hoping this gives me a visual boost and frees up some much-needed counter and table space.

Pretty much any victory today will do.  That's what I'm saying.
