Two Weeks

I guess part of the reason that it feels longer than two weeks is that this house is familiar to me and so I didn't have to get used to it.  The other part of that is that time is just dragging, it feels like forever since I left Madison and headed to a new life.

So every box has at least been identified.  Almost all of them have been unpacked.  I'm buying the paint this week end for the book shelf and I hope to have it ready to put into place in a couple weeks.  I need some sunshine and then I need some good drying time before I put books on the shelves.  I'm so excited to see how it comes out.  I'll need to check my pattern soon and figure out what I am doing for sure.

I didn't get as much done today as I had hoped because I just did way too much yesterday.  The need to find the missing items is great and once I realized there was little hope, I moved all the boxes of books, just to be sure.  But yes, they are all books.  There was no lost sewing room box.  No lost kitchen box.  I am so sad, I woke up crying.  All I can do now is hope that for some reason they are in the storage unit.  I don't see it being at all possible, but I just have to wait it out now until the unit can be inventoried.

So today I moved the cd rack and got all my cds in place.  It doesn't look like it did before, I know I did something different, but it's fine.  I'll change it if I have to.  I emptied two other boxes and part of three other boxes, so things are getting new homes and it's beginning to feel like I can begin work on Monday.   I might even be able to have an art day on Sunday.  Maybe.

Tonight after the usual Friday night fish fry, I came home and started back on the sewing room.  Starting in the corner by the closet (lets ignore that closet for a while), I moved the yarn dresser just a little bit and then finished putting yarn in it, sorting the drawers and supplies.  I cleaned off the top the old sewing machine and set up my serger.... mmmm, no cord.  Now that will be awkward.  I rearranged some of the books on the smaller book shelf to make more room because I don't have shelves for the taller book case.  I feel like I have a good start.  I need to get the thread organized and clean off the top of the other shelf and the sewing machine in time to sit down on Monday.  It's time to move on and get back to work.

Tomorrow I need to set up both desks and get both offices functional, and then on Sunday I need to empty both basement areas to make room to lay flooring and set everything up.  I'm really excited to be this close already and be able to organized my space and my thoughts. 

Monday, or maybe Sunday, will be back to my old schedule.  Routines are good for me and the sooner I re-establish one, the better.  Yoga.  Classes.  Cleaning.  Work.  Eating at the right times.  Sleeping when I want to.  Now to the joy of finishing.  This week end begins that.  I will be finished with the major unpacking and finish sewing together the dragon sweater, and maybe another one or two quick projects that don't need a lot of work. 

Two weeks and moving forward
