Convergence
The great convergence is happening this weekend. All of my progeny , their significant others and mini progeny will be congregating. I wonder if they've all been in the same room before together.
The convergence will involve sleepovers in two venues, which has precipitated a possession purge, in order that the room sized dust bunnies in all the guest quarters can be trapped humanely . Allergies abound among us.
The problem with having a large house is that one can be most undisciplined when it comes to recycling or discarding one's possessions - especially when said possessions can be stored from view in unused areas. Flat surface disease is rampant in the genetic pool. One can keep all the art that one has produced in a lifetime, all the books and papers from four years of college (layering, one over the next, in good archeological form) all the vintage clothing one has collected at rummage sales, all the loose change from foreign lands, all the sets of dishes and silver and furniture one has inherited -- altogether, an impressive bunny breeding ground.
Spending so much time in child's pose , has been very hard on my poor plantar flexed forefeet . I am proud, but excruciatingly achey today. Somewhat more unpossessed than usual.
