Cleared off one whole chair!

Which is wayyy more impressive than it sounds. Its a big, comfy armchair right in the doorway, which makes it a prime dumping ground for anything people are carrying as they come in - mail and newspapers, books, notebooks, laundry, coats, toys...all sorts of crapola. Not only did I clear it of, but...this is BIG...drumroll please....

I put everything away where it belongs!!!!!

Huzzah huzzah, hurray for me! And the floor immediately around the chair too. Now I'm off to clean the table in front of the chair, though I did the shelves beside it somewhat already - there's stuff that needs time to sort through, so I piled it neatly, rather than getting lost in papers. Of course I'm on the computer again, which means I'm not doing much of anything....

Total and complete subject change:

I bought a fantabulous amount of wool today at Walmart, all on sale (though some still $5.00 skein). I have lovely projects in mind and won't allow myself to begin them until a) my current project is done and b) the cleaning is under control.

Another topic...my brain is nutso right now - could be the coke I just mainlined...cleaning fuel, don't'cha know!
We've begun our schoolwork already, Xander and I, to get him back in the swing of things slowly. 2 jobs a day this week, and I'll up it next week a bit and then we're hitting it head on. There's battles, and I'm not sure how this will go. I'm trying to come up with some strategies to help him be more motivated, internally, and to circumvent the arguments, because as those who know him must have already realized, he is the penultimate lawyer in a pint sized body.

I'm sure there will be both brainstorming and venting occurring on these pages in the next while.

On another note, I'm trying to get organized and upload my recordings from both NWTC and my Hollyhock workshop so my fellow attendees can download and enjoy them too. Hopefully by the end of the month it'll be all done!

Off to clean more - I made a big dinner and did a ton of dishes too, plus the shopping trip and cleaning, so my day has already been pretty darn successful! Lets see how I can improve upon it...
