A new shelving unit, a filing cabinet and a new table plus a lot of elbow grease and entirely too much sweat and the office is shaping up nicely. It’s no longer a jumble of computer equipment, boxes and a desk so cluttered with necessary papers and gear that there isn’t room to set a coffee mug down.
Unfortunately that office is the one at Avery Point. The home office continues to defy all my efforts of organization. Of course the home office holds bike gear, computers, financial papers, Christmas and Easter decorations, along with all my dyeing tools and materials and a good dose of the family art & craft supplies. It may never get completely organized, just like Tammy’s sewing area may never get truly organized. Somehow she still knows where everything is in both my office and her sewing area. Of course knowing where it is and being able to get to it and use it are different issues. Every time she goes to pull out fabric or yarn for a new project I worry that an avalanche of fabric is going to collapse on her and we’ll have to send in the Saint Bernards to rescue her.
We really need an extra room or to pull a dumpster to the backside of the building and just push everything out the window into it. I’m really yearning for a minimalist way of living right about now, especially when it comes to my office. Of course part of that may be my claustrophobia kicking in too.
