Yesterday Andy and I embarked on a mission to organize the big closet in our second bedroom. It has a LOT of stuff in it and is great to have, but it just wasn’t really working for either of us. I wanted to make it so that you could actually walk into it, and so that I could more easily access stuff. Anyway, in doing so we got rid of a bunch of empty boxes we’d been keeping, and Kira finally became like a real cat and sat herself down into this box lid.

    For me personally, I don’t have a load of laundry to do every day, but I appreciate the sentiment. And the others are great! I’ve been really prioritizing cleaning the kitchen, meaning I sometimes do it several times a day, but each of those times takes me about 2.5 minutes, and the pay off makes me very happy.
