Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho
Heigh Ho from the Disney classic Snow White, was a favourite as a child. It's what I sing to myself as I head to the salt mines of my work each day - especially now that I am working in the basement. It's relatively dark, cool, and full of undiscovered treasures. I'm working harder down here, if only because I go up and down the stairs much more often. In the past couple of days, I have done at least 10 flights of stairs each day, and the first day I did around 15.
The best part about working in the basement is that I am decluttering like mad. Things that I was able to ignore when I only passed through the area a couple of times a week on the way to the laundry room are now getting examined, put away, or thrown out. It is delightful.
And because my basement opens out to the back yard, it’s easy to go outside for short breaks during the day. That, of course, leads to me noticing how many weeds have grown up, so I did a bit of weeding. I hate weeding, but convince myself it is a good idea if I can eat the results. Tonight’s dinner will be pasta with creamy garlic sauce and a whole lot of sauteed garlic mustard.
