Today's activities
Mar. 29th, 2008 09:38 amDealing with the bomb site that is my living room. Scrub bathroom. Scrub kitchen. (Kitchen is not a bomb site with lovely new shelves. Bathroom is not a bomb site because it isn't big enough.)
Tomorrow's activities: dealing with the bomb site that is the garret.
(You see, I have a very bad habit of taking things out to go to events and then not putting them away....)
EDIT. There comes a point when one has to tell the voice in one's head that is wailing, "That stuff was $__ a yard!" that some of the scraps are just too small and too oddly shaped to salvage for monkey clothes, pouches or even hair ties. I filled an entire paper grocery sack with such scraps.
Living room is done except for dusting and vacuuming.
Kitchen is done.
Groceries and a new rag rug for the bathroom have been acquired. (Old, icky, beyond-all-redemption rubber backed mat is out on the landing for next trip down to trash.)
I think I shall save the bathroom for tomorrow and start dealing with the garret now. Hm.
EDIT 3:15 PM
Inroads have been made. Amazing what a difference simply PUTTING BOOKS BACK IN THE BOOKCASE made. It's that whole teaching online thing. I pull stuff out to answer a question and the next thing you know, there's a ziggurat of books next to my chair.... I even put my beloved dictionary away. And put all the paid bills into the paid bill box.
Despite its unsightliness, the craft table is staying up for now because I should actually have time to work on Mitsuhide's obi tomorrrow.
I'll hump the vacuum downstairs tomorrow. I'm done for today!
