At least while I've been slacking off on the book work, I've been catching up on "real world" duties! And I find I'm feeling much better for it.
My garage has been an albatross around my neck since I moved in... it has been in terrible shape! And Halloween last year made it worse!
Yesterday I went and bought a STACK of durable, large, plastic shelves. The nice heavy ones with the grill-like shelves. I mean, something like 33 square feet of shelf footprint, five shelves high... and I use the top shelf, let me tell you.
Nice shelves, and cheap. Something like $50 for a 2' x 3' x 6' plastic shelf unit, rated to 1,000 lbs.
Didn't have time to put everything away, but made a definite dent in things, and Marla was a great help too! Much easier to work together on cleaning tasks, keeps the morale up.
After I pay bills tonight, assuming I remember, I hope to put up the pegboards so I can get my TOOLS out and organized. Ahhh, that will be sweet all by itself.
I'm banking on the hope that all this cleaning and organizing will make me so cheerful, so happy with the world, that I'll just blow right through this poor neglected chapter. I've been dragging on the book lately, and I need SOMETHING to put the spring back into my writing.
