folded and put away laundry
worked in the basement for 15 minutes. recycled containers that don't have lids
gave dh 4 boxes for him to cut down
took my morning meds (late)
dh is deep in thought - not talkative but he says he engrossed with the news. I haven't read or heard anything today - I should but I want to be busy and happy.
listed the work that needs to be done in the basement for my 15 minute workouts during the next week and beyond
I put away what is in the basket at the bottom of the stairs.
Got rid of one black laundry basket -
I remember when I had laundry baskets everywhere as part of my organization process - now I laugh at it bc it was actually my "don't get rid of anything and put it in a basket" process.
I got my boots in yay
flip flopped laundry - everything put away
next 3 season room sweep -
water

I have been reading an article suggested by my book (an almost impossible thing, The radical lives of Britains pioneering women gardeners): - "Why women are redundant
by W. R. Greg written in 1860 and how they need to "fix" the current (1860) social problem: the amount of women being single because of the emigration of men from England to the different colonies including the united states. (which was considered highly abnormal or selfish on part of the woman
)
quote from article: "The residue— the large excess over this proportion— who re main unmarried, constitute the problem to he solved, the evil and anomaly to be cured."
So far I have come to the place in the article where the author suggests that single women need to be shipped to the colonies and United States to balance the number of women (social problem and ) in the uk. of course it's 1860 and that was the time that this thinking prevailed.
I always find it fascinating, even now in some churches and some societies, that woman are still considered unable or are disqualified to run programs, go to school, do jobs or run households/have land just for the fact that they are women.
dh and I had a good discussion about the article.
