Attacking ….. The Desk
Uncategorized
Dear, dear sweet internet. How do I love thee? I get to appear witty, crafty, and best of all….you can’t see what my desk looks like. All you can do is take my word for it.
Yes, I probably COULD post pictures if I wanted to.
The top of my desk is covered in computer equipment and paperwork. Today, I will:
Go through the piles and piles of paperwork, shred and file.- Find a home for my dead computer. I was hoping to revive it, but ultimately decided that buying a newer used computer was a better way to spend the money.
- Make an attempt at moving the computer equipment around, hopefully making room for me to study at the desk.
Wish me luck, and children interested in their toys instead of the sound of the shredder!
Where’s my masseuse??!!??

The closet
Uncategorized
Waaaaay back in October I wrote about water damage in my closet, and the need for repairs. I waited til now to actually DO the work for a variety of reasons. However, last night I got started. Here’s the checklist, but it’ll probably take me til the end of the week to actually complete the job.
- Empty closet
- Bleach ceiling
- Let ceiling dry overnight
- Paint ceiling with Kilz
- Let ceiling dry overnight AGAIN******
- Move dresser into closet
- Move boys clothes back into closet
- Donate all my clothes (Well, OK, not ALL of them)
- Watch the ceiling leak and get moldy again with the next rain
*****Decided to just open the window and let the fumes seep out.
