  • High Days and Holy Days…

    It was a good day, not for any particular reason just a busy day that kept my hands busy and my head empty. The closer I get to that last load of “hoarder” rubbish finally going to the tip the more motivated I am to get it done. Even if that includes struggling to solo…

  • Cutting a Rug…

    I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t far more difficult than just doing it the old fashioned way. Scratch that, I am absolutely sure that cutting through a roll of musty old carpet with a reciprocating saw is much harder than just getting a couple of fresh blades in the utility knife. But it’s of those…

  • A Little Shelf Love…

    I’m being shelfish today and doing some shelf indulgent organizing. The CDs that rarely/ever get listened to are going in some boxes. I’m not getting rid of them yet, but they are going into storage until I decide what to do with them. Since embracing the music streaming apps I rarely use them anymore, and…

  • Kitchen Tidy Part 1.5…

    Sorry for the delay, I’ve been a tad frazzled. My doctor put me on steroids and some other medications that have completely fried my ability to focus on anything for more than five minutes. I won’t use the word manic, but let’s just say confused enthusiasm has been ruling the roost. *see also pretty serious…

  • I Bought a New Mug…

    Actually it’s four new mugs, and now my kitchen looks like this: Friday night I was online shopping to distract myself from cascading life issues. Usually I just fill a shopping cart with precious shiny things, and then never hit buy. But I was particularly enamored by some jade green coffee mugs, and they were…

  • Desk Cleanse…

    A cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind. I’ve got no idea if that is true, but if my mind is anything like my desk there is definitely a problem. After trying to work in a space that looks more like somewhere you would purchase a mogwai than an office, Im ready for…

  • Underneath…

    I’m looking at old photos of the farm, trying to locate where things where originally, and where they still might be under all the trees etc. It’s also a lot easier to get a mental map of where to put things looking at pictures of the empty space. There are definitely areas that need to…

  • Just for the Record…

    I was looking for a particular record to play this morning. 45 minutes later I wasn’t in the mood to listen to it. My record collection has become a collection, it serves no purpose other that taking up space. There is perhaps 200 records I play, of those maybe 50-80 I play regularly, and of…

  • Clean Room Chronicles Pt 3…

    I’m starting to think I could have given the whole house an acceptable tidy up in the time its taken to do one room. Actually I’m sure. But I’ve woken up to wardrobe doors I’m not scared to open. I also slept better than i have in a while, possibly due to the reduction in…

  • Clean Room Chronicles Pt 2…

    At 9am this morning my room was almost 95% done, as long as you didn’t look in the closets of course. Luckily I’m single and no but me ever opens my closets, so as long I keep the doors closed it’s fine. An hour later… Total carnage that in no way helps any visible parts…
