walking through the house
enjoying the tidyness
and calm

feeling yucky
moving slowly through the house
creeping toward work

puttering around
deciding to shed next
expanding office space

resting late
rising when merely tired
good start to the day

morning chores-
finishing the laundry
and Yuki's * grooming

* the white cat

long weekend-
fitting in chores with no sleep
and playing with cat

early fall nesting
looking for soup makings
at the market
