Our Quaker advices for this month state, "Simplicity is best achieved through a
right ordering of priorities, maintaining humility of spirit, avoiding selfindulgence, resisting the accumulation of unnecessary possessions, and avoiding over-busy lives."

Oof.

I wonder about the beads that have gone missing: do i really have the time for them? I have so many (just not enough in the particular colorway of the pretty focal beads i bought on vacation). And the yarn....

Last night i indulged in avoiding the laundry and exercise. I left work a touch after 6 pm to find and accident had occurred to snarl the highway, and i also needed to stop for gas. (Was that really cheap gas? I may need to check billshrink -- which uses your commute route to determine which gas stations are on the route and the cost of deviation and whether the deviation will cost more than you would save -- against gasbuddy.) I enjoyed listening to more of the saga of William Smith. I wonder if i should begin to tally hyperbolic statements to derive a rate per hour for the book.
