In reply to Sarah K. @Sarah K - we are definitely putting a lot of things in bins and then putting those bins elsewhere. It's the only way to stay within 30 minutes of clean.

In reply to Irene.

@Irene – I am not an academic, so I assume that’s why? I don’t think I’ve really seen any of my bookings referred to as “talks” except more informally. My “speaking agent” books “speeches” — that’s what we refer to them as. Fascinating.

This is a very random comment you have probably answered this before but is there a reason you refer to your presentation as giving a speech rather than giving a talk? Is it a field thing? In my field I have never heard any one call any public speaking on their research a speech. So interesting.

When we were showing our last house I ended up stuffing large bags of dirty laundry up in the attic to prep for the photos etc. I forgot about these until we moved 6 months later.

I hope that your home sells fast. Having a house on the market with a lot of children is challenging. At least most are older? It’s really hard when they are very young! I was glad our house sold over a weekend while we were away at my parents, but it was a first time buyer type of house so we knew it would sell quickly.

My husband and I both played the trumpet! I have no advice, but it will take some time to build up the mouth strength required to get a good sound/hit notes, especially in the higher range. I think some of the brass instruments are more challenging for that reason – you need to move a lot of air to make sound!
