Where I've Been

The sun has been shining all month! I've missed some of it due to a migraine which has caused me to seek darkness. That isn't ALL bad, as I've been stirring up things in my basement rooms.

At night, instead of reading until I fall asleep, I've been pouring through these.

Gleaning ideas for that work space in the basement.

It came with a WONDERFUL work bench, shop lights and a peg board wall.

THGGM snapped together four shelves for me with are serving their purpose rather well.
I wasn't going to tell ANYBODY this, but it just isn't turning out like I wanted it to. That makes me feel sad.

Today I plan to spend A LOT of time down there. There is another COMPLETE room I need to get organized.

Were someone other than me to look at it, I don't think it would look like much progress has been made. But, when one has spent three years throwing assorted things into random boxes it takes some time to restore order. I do recall that I DID have order. Once. Loooong loooong ago.

If I had it once, that gives me hope that maybe I can have it again.

I'm thinking that I shall have to let go of the dream that I could have a space that looks anything remotely like those pictured in these lovely books and magazines.

To keep the look I am going for, I would have to install some sort of alarm that would sound whenever THGGM dropped something into this space that he didn't want to deal with. Much like how he would like an alarm for those times I drag stuff up and into his garage. It would save us both much hassle if we could just learn to eliminate that ONE step.

So, off I go, still hoping to get just a smidge of a 'look' that will satisfy that longing for a place of my own.

And, since THGGM's car isn't in the garage...
