Morning's Light

After posting about Anne Black’s white apartment, I wrote to her to rave about it some more.  She kindly sent a response:

We definitely don’t have enough closets in the apartment which makes it an ongoing challenge to keep the look nice and simple.  We need more space as we are four people in 80 square meters [860 square feet]…. And actually I am not very good at paring down belongings and hold on to clothes, magazines, shoes far too long too. I simply use white boxes to keep all that mess in and that helps a bit to keep the clean look.

last night: I arrived home last night..to find a beeping smoke alarm….. It beeps EVERY 30 SECONDS and was like having someone remind me twice a minute that TIME IS PASSING!  Get SOMETHING done!

I brushed my teeth.  BEEP         washed my face  BEEP     went to sleep BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP for seven hours.  "Well, hello, beep…how are ya to…" BEEEEEEPPPPP. 

Bleary eyed, I look into the mirror before attempting to make myself presentable as I head to a work event at 6:30 in the morning.  I did my best.  was happy to leave BEEEP behind for the neighbors on all sides to enjoy the remainder of the morning.  Feels like I have a roommate.
