A friend of mine used to periodically throw out all his belongings. He was a bit nomadic. I cannot remember the frequency but it seems like he did this annually. Stuff he could not bare to part with would be placed in a box and dated. By the next purge, if it had not been removed, it would be donated to someone who would use it.

Our house is probably a little too small for the size of our family and it lacks storage and shelving. As such, we have disorganization in places like the garage. Cathy‘s response is to start getting rid of things we don’t use. And she is correct. Unfortunately, I’m a bit of a pack rat with dreams for each of the things I have saved. Those dreams are not coming to fruition. I think I have finally been convinced to follow my friend’s philosophy on materialism and answer Cathy’s desire for a clean house. I am ready to throw everything away. We can start over.

I am inexplicably tired. It’s like my mind is in hibernation mode with minimal systems functioning. I don’t even have the energy to watch tv. Writing this was painful.

Knocking items off my todo list…but are they the right items?

The computer that held my resume and related professional documents died. It just needs a new stick of ram but that is pretty low on my list of priorities. I started poking around for a copy of my resume at the request of someone who may want to do some work together and the most recent thing I could find is from August of 2006. Could it really be over three years since I updated my CV? You are supposed to update that every six months! I despise resumes. There has to be a better way. But even LinkedIn isn’t necessarily representative unless you are really working it.

Update: Oh! Much better. One from May 19, 2009. Looks like I am updating it…or was.
