Progress report II.

[rivka]

12:34 Second work block completed; stopping for a longer break.

The first part of the day went very quickly, and I was filled with hope that perhaps this wouldn't be as difficult as I thought. Now I've hit the slower part, where I need to organize things thoughtfully and make decisions.

Accomplished in the last 90-minute block:

• Straightened and organized the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.


• Culled 100 books.


• Separated out books better stored in Alex's room.


• Sorted several pounds of coins, some of which were Michael's informal collection and some of which were real money, all of which had been mixed together by the kids.


• Filled a laundry basket with things that belong in other rooms of the house.


• Usefully organized half of the big floor-to-ceiling storage unit which holds art supplies, games, and homeschooling materials.


• Listened to two more lectures about the history of the evolution controversy.


• Accidentally picked up a dead shield bug augh augh augh.

I'm going to take advantage of the fact that Colin is napping to put away the things in the laundry basket, which belong various other places in the house. Then I'm going to get some lunch and take my self-reward, but still useful and work-oriented, trip to the thrift store.

EW shield bugs. Our girl kitten attacked one and was stinky for two days.

Inspired by your work, I've started to pull up the carpet in my bedroom, which we've been planning to do for a while. Thank you? ;)

At least it wasn't a live one!

I had to re-read "pounds of coins" because our coins are pounds :-)
