Step 3 completed. Bought lateral file, removed L-return; now the next step, putting the files in with some semblance of order; that is on today’s game plan. First we’re going to eat Tex-Mex with family so it’ll have to be much later today. I also got my serger out of the shop, put back together and threaded. So when I get all those damned files out of there I can sew again. Last night I shredded two garbage sacks of old paperwork. I’ve probably got about that much more I haven’t even sorted yet so it will be a chore yet to come. BUT…it’s getting noticeably better already. Can’t wait for the after pictures of the sewing room.. Yay, me!!!!!!!
9 Hours Later:
Tex-Mex was good; guys have gone fishing so the dogs and I have the house to ourselves. All the Mother’s Day gift certificates are in the emails and I only have one blanket to make and I’m done for another year. I managed to get ALL the files out of the file boxes and filled the free-standing shredder three more times. I still have to go through some of these existing files and clean them out, and I have to label all the ones that have none. All I’m left with is a small stack of memorabilia that has to be put with the existing keepsakes and all the extra stuff is gone. I knew it was going to be time-consuming but it was a back-breaker! My neck hurts and I’m too tired to do much else tonight. I vacuumed when I finished with the files, then changed the water in the fish tank; I really need to do laundry but all the paper-trash is in bags in front of the washer and dryer—and I’m too tired to move it all.
The people next door are having a party for a 1-year-old. They started at noon and are still going at 10 P.M. I can’t even let the dogs out in their own yard because the kids are driving them crazy. I just took them out to potty and put the big ones in their crates for the night. The 5 littles are in here in the office with me. They’re worn out, too. I wanted to sew tonight but I have to wash the fabric and can’t so I think I’ll just try to chill for a while (if I can—too much nervous energy), maybe I’ll pour a glass of wine and kick back with Facebook.
Well, I won’t pour a glass of wine because I’ve only got a half glass. Wah! It’ll have to be enough unless I want to steal some of Ronnie’s stash (there’s an idea! LOL). I’m outta here!
