Yesterday I awoke without much hope of getting anything done; it was day three of our first heat wave of the summer. I was determined to make some progress though. My first chore, done before breakfast, was unpacking a box of books that resided under the kitchen table. Since the not-so-brilliant movers told me they weren't going to bring my biggest bookcase into the house because they claimed I didn't have room, finding places for books is getting more and more difficult. There must have been at least 4-6 boxes worth of books, along with a few other items so I really wish I had the use of those shelves now.
Today I had to go somewhere that was over a 2 hour drive, and had errands to run beforehand so I tried yesterday to make up for today. I hate leaving the kitties alone for so long so my mother came over to feed them, give them water, and probably to give them some good belly rubs. The key to yesterday was getting more windows open and getting more of a cross-breeze going. The house was much more tolerable.
Here's some of what I accomplished yesterday:
- 2 or 3 boxes of books unpacked (can't remember how many)
- many previously unmarked boxes marked with basics of their contents
- a bunch of boxes moved out of the dining room and into the rooms in which their contents belong
- boxes that need sorting marked with their priority level; for instance some big boxes without many items are now marked priority because they are a huge waste of space
- the dining room made safer for the kitties because hopefully they won't be able to climb up inside the light fixture
- found some tie-dyed items made last year that I can bring for examples
Here's one thing that didn't get accomplished
- the blank t-shirts, sweatshirts & tote bags for tie-dying have not been found
Major accomplishments today:
- went to frame-it-yourself shop with Ree to frame one picture and mat a series of 3 (wish I had realize how much time I could have saved in the first place)
- went to agricultural/town fair two hours away to deliver 4 pictures and a story
