More or less. The kitchen is working great, but could use some shelves.

I’m getting to them.

The office is coming along. The floor is looking great, I put the shelves back up and have put in a ton of my necessary stuff. I also packed away things I don’t need on hand all the time.

I can’t wait to get rid of the old computer, but till I get all the programs I need on the laptop I have to live with 2 computers on my desk.

I’ve been going through a phase, trying to minimise things in the house and in my life. I’ve moved most of my craft stuff to the shed in plastic storage boxes. When I work on a project I just go and get the specific box I need. If I keep putting boxes back when I’m finished with them I can stop the office from becoming a dumping ground.

I need to clean and organise the pantry. Another huge job. Not to mention that I need to do the floor in there as well.

Later.

The filing cabinets are outside on the footpath.

I moved them there today so I could spray paint them both. Wayne’s is cream and mine is purple. I wanted them to match since they always go in my office.

So now I’m waiting for them to come back inside so I can finish putting things away. Not that they’ll come in on their own… no such luck. But I think I’ll rope Wayne into bringing them in for me. Getting them out was hard enough.

The living room is back to an almost normal configuration – some office and kitchen stuff still lingers, waiting for its forever home and racks dry clothes in front of the heater. All I seem to do is move things from one room to another in a vicious circle as I move my attention from one part of the house to another.

Will we ever live in a house where everything is in its place or am I doomed to repeat this pattern forever?

Don’t answer that.
