Marking By the Numbers

Tomorrow an outfit named Merry Maids will clean my apartment. I have begun de-cluttering the floors to facilitate their operations. Meanwhile I hope to pare downy possessions, and this image shows a test of my set of old Crayola markers. They are still usable, and now, having whetted my appetite with this exercise, I want to go back to using them. But I have so much decluttering to do that I must firmly stick to the mission, telling myself “No more distractions.”
