Spaceville plus--I missed posting Saturday and Sunday! How did that happen--I only slightly remember not posting one day? I know I was shocked on Sunday when it was mentioned that HMcA had passed away on the 4th--and that shock came on more when I went home. But, I don't remember choosing to not post last night--I was shaken after hearing the news. We were dance partners for three of more years--and started teaching line dancing together for about 1.5 years. Most memorable time together--trip to the desert and Death Valley and spinning around the dance floor!

I recall spending time on the web--searching for more info re her passing. I finally got a brief mention on a dance web site--and I knew it was for sure. Part of me was denying that the news was real--but it was and that news shook me to the bone.

In addition, we had that huge windy storm on Saturday night--and me hearing that carpet cleaners were coming on Tuesday. For them to clean my room--I had to do a pre-clean excavation of stuff in the room. Right now, my closet is stuffed with all of the loose items that were in the room--lots of stuff, including the several boxes that have been stacked against a wall for nearly 2 years!

I had put "room clean" on my to-do list--but now it will be done. The only consideration--I hope I can find everything that I packed up and put away, somewhere! The upside--it will give me a chance to restore the room and make it usable, especially my desk. It took me most of the day to clear things up and out--I'm sure it will take me even longer to restore everything. It's actually kind of nice to not have much in the room--emptiness is expansive, liberating!

Everything now has a place and is in that place--wherever that place may be! Back to dancing tomorrow--and to a clean room.
