Private weekend

Except this morning at church, the only significant human interactions I had this weekend were with my family. However, there were plenty of those. It was good.

I did a lot of decluttering over the weekend. I took 10 grocery bags of books to Goodwill this afternoon. Tonight we had 7 grocery bags filled with recycling beyond what fit in the official city recycling basket. Usually we have one or two.

We have finally unpacked from last weekend with colgaffneyis at Big Island. We are mostly recovered from the installation of the new windows in the house. We had to get everything out of the way on the inside so the installer could do their inside work. I have put things back together in our bedroom, my desk area in the basement, and the adjacent shelves by the fireplace.
