Jul. 3rd, 2011 10:49 pmour housing issue has been resolved, but not at all to our liking. We have to take apart nick's office over the next month so that the room (the smallest in the house) can be rented out. There's more, but I am actually getting tired of talking about it, and of being upset and frustrated. It's time to deal with it.
Dealing with it this weekend has meant lots of cleaning. We've let it build up over the past two weeks due to the unpleasantness and just being busy. I feel better now. Biggest thing? I cleaned out the closet and reorganized it. Now there's a lot of space to move the upstairs office stuff in. I have a canvas bag full of things to donate. yay. And lots more to work on selling. Mostly anime stuff and 2nd ed D&D books and modules. (interested, let me know. Also looking to unload magic cards as one collection)
The next big thing I need to do is a book reorganization. I've weeded a bit, nick has weeded a couple, but we bought a lot more books, so it's time to go through them all. What I want to pull out and store are books that would be for nick's future classroom. I think that'll free up some room as well.
I'm also trying to figure out the concept of make-ahead meals. So today's cooking experiment (yesterdays was banana bread) was freezing burritos. I suppose I will find out if they do well when we eat a few later this week. At least people liked the dip I made with the leftovers.
I'm also debating condensing a few of my shrines into one with an overreaching theme of marriage, and moving the Hermes one to work after we move. It's a debate because of space limitations, mostly. And it fits well into my theme of simplification --but yesh, I feel bad taking down shrines.
