ABSTRACT

She lived simply and well, managing to limit her furnishings to a few simple yet functional pieces. A maid came once a week to vacuum, mop, and clean the bathrooms and kitchen. This was hardly necessary, since Erika often ate out for both lunch and dinner; the most she would prepare for herself was toast and coffee for breakfast and a salad in the evening. It was truly a life centered on work, socializing, relaxationand the avoidance of accumulation.
