What to do, what to do?
Sep. 13th, 2006 12:18 amStarting the daunting task that is Putting My Sewing Room In Order, it struck me that at the moment, I'm in a very, very good place: I have a nice-sized room to set up however I want, plenty of time because I'm not working and I'm all alone this week (the cats aren't arriving until November and G's away for business until next Monday), hardly any responsibilities or engagements except going shopping at the Best Store Ever with a couple of friends tomorrow (oh, how tough!). Maybe I'll even buy a dress form, hm? So if I start whining about "not having anything to do" and "feeling useless because I'm not earning any money", please tell me to shut up.
So far I have one bookcase organised: computer stuff, French teaching and Japanese learning books and notes, papers & notebooks, collections (decks of cards, Magic cards, postcards) and patterns. The other bookcase will house photo stuff (albums, slides, negs, etc.), craft supplies and sewing notions.
And now, a list of Things To Do Before G Gets Back!
- Organise clothes in the master bedroom; at the moment there are two piles of my things on the floor, plus an accumulation on my dresser. And that's not even counting G's stuff on his dresser!
- Set up the "laundry room", which is actually a very large closet off the upstairs hallway, put blankets on top shelves. Good grief, did we really need to bring our duvet to Tokyo?!
- Empty the last plastic bin of toiletries, put them away in... the linen closet?
- Take a look at that bathroom cupboard door that's not closing properly
- Finishing organising sewing room: first the bookcase, then the closet
- Find an appropriate storage space for the camping equipment
- Find a place upstairs for the deck chairs
- Put tapes, DVDs and CDs in some semblance of order
- Find a place for the books currently in piles on the floor
- Organise the pantry
- Try to find a way to store all the pots and pans together. Not an easy prospect, as we have 3 sets of the damn things and G won't get rid of any of them!
- Empty all cardboard boxes and stack them so as to take as little space as possible
- General housecleaning
- Eat nectarines
Good night!
