susandennisI can't turn my brain off getting my house back in order. I tried. Last night I watched junk TV and knitted and, even then, kept thinking of shit, hitting pause and googling up the idea of the minute.
I did solve my night stand problem. My current nightstand is a nearly 10 year old battered IKEA puttogether who's drawers fall open without wedges under the bottom front. The top has some paint bubbles. I need something I can pass cables through for storage of this laptop, my Kindle, my charging phone...
Last night I finally found what I am fairly sure is the perfect idea... A small six hole cubed shelving unit. I can use those canvas cubes to store stuff and pass the cables through one of the open cubes.
This will happen after the house is put together and Sheri moves on to her next project. But, at least I have the solution and know where to get it. (I need to go look this morning but I'm pretty sure I'm right.)
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about things - like exposed cables. I realized I could hide at least one by plugging the web cam in one of the new outlets. So this morning, while the coffee was making, I climbed up on the kitchen counter to reach the plug and fixed that. (Except, I just now remembered to check and see that somehow I managed go rotate the thing. Hmmm. Need to fix that.)
Then, this morning, while snuggled in bed listening to NPR, I started mentally taking stuff out of the piles that are now in the bedroom and putting them into the stuff I bought yesterday.
I think I need to follow my brain. So breakfast this morning will be at Denny's. That will be a fun entry in http://brunchseattle.blogspot.com. It's very close and I need to make quick stops at Home Depot and Office Depot both of which are also very close. So I can do it all and get back here and get to putting away.
If I get at least some of it sorted and out of this mess, then maybe my brain can relax until the workers are out of here. Maybe. That's the plan anyway. I'm getting dressed now.
