Today's button must be in the washing machine - in the pocket still of the pants that I spilled a bucket of muddy water on about midday. It is a tan and gray button. Stormy like the morning but the morning gave way to a beautiful fall afternoon.
I have a tenant coming in two days and of course, so is Halloween. That is a lot of pressure for one 24 hour Saturday. I had to clean out the yellow room, which meant that everything that was in there had to go somewhere else. Which meant that I had to move stuff. AND I am doing A YEAR TO CLEAR, sooooo, it really meant clearing not Fluff and Stuff. I wanted to paint the room but that is simply unrealistic. I am TERRIBLE at painting and everyone else is B U S Y. better old paint than my brushstokes looking for all the world to see like a fingerpainting on the wall. I also am hosting the younguns for the spooky trick or treating and need to shop and chop.
In the middle of the day I grabbed 40 pounds of beans from the freezer to run up to the church supper only to discover that they were freezer burned. I tried soaking them - no go. So I carried them to the compost pile and in the process took a bath. You can see why the button in my pocket was forgotten. Good fortune was on my side and I had dry britches to put on as I carried on with my errands and the day.
Now, the yellow room is empty. Not clean yet, but empty. Everything has found a home or at least a resting place until it undergoes the "Keep, Go, or Give" test of A YEAR TO CLEAR. The button will stay in the keep pile. I hope it is enjoying a good wash. I will put it in the "done" jar tomorrow. If I can find it.
