I’m glad I started early

Wednesday, May 22, 2019

I was at my desk at seven this morning and I’ve been up here all day. Today was a clean-up day for me and a chance to sort out what needs to be done before I leave. The list is growing but I think I can still accomplish it all.

Once I had the top of my desk more or less sorted out (yes sorted, not cleared) I paid some bills for myself and for the Hall.

Then I started cleaning up my cutting table and a few of my surfaces. I have started a pile of “things to take with me” and I expect that will grow over the coming week. Once I had the surfaces more or less clear I decided it was time to switch out my filing cabinets.

The new filing cabinet fits in nicely but I’m not sure what will become of the old one; I have a few ideas of what I might use it for but I haven’t tested that idea yet. While I swapped files from one cabinet to the other I did some cleaning up of the paper in the files. I have a very neat filing cabinet now but my pile of paper to shred has grown – a lot – and many of my surfaces are buried again.

I still have some time before dinner so I’ll get back to it. Pat is going to be teaching a guitar lesson at five so I won’t be able to shred while that is going on but there is no end to the other things I could be doing!
