Day 1

I've gathered up everything among my stash that I might use. Its a bigger pile than I thought and yet I'm sure there will be more. There's a list on scrap paper of other stuff I want. The image file on the computer has topped 5 MB.

I cut a niche at the back of the book. My first one - but ya gotta start somewhere. AND - I already know what's going into it. There might be a drawer too.

Then, around 3PM I got sticky feet...noticed how really filthy the carpet was around my work table. Procrastinated by getting out the carpet cleaner and cleaning the carpet . First I had to find the instruction manual. Looking for it used up a good 2 hrs. Finally in desparation, I looked on-line. Who knew that appliance manuals were on-line. Ain't science wonderful? Now, I am NOT a cleaner - I watch those "How clean is your house" shows to reassure myself that there are people in the world worse than me. Not many...but there are some. So this was true and desparate procrastination. carpet shampooing and making/eating/cleaning up dinner lasted me until 9:30 PM when I decided to take pictures and start the blog.
