May 11, 2022- Necessity came to call. She asked, “When will you devote some time to deep cleaning?” I answered, “Why, towards the end of next week.”

She then asked, “And what about the clutter?” I pondered a bit, and determined, “The kitchen will be first, then the bedroom and closet, then the storage-as there is a three-week period between now and mid-June.”

Finally, she asked, “About mid-June: What are your plans, if the Universe determines you should stay put?” I answered, simply: “Stay put.”

Necessity is a kind steward, as well as being the Mother of Invention.
