Things of Note:
Not too talky this morning. Insomnia hit hard last night; I need all the coffee, please. Still working through shop photos, still doing house-cleany things with Ian since he has a week off. Our major projects have all been closet-related. Our open spaces are kept pretty neat, but apparently are various closets are where we let our inner packrats loose. No more! There have been two full-car loads to Goodwill with clothing, books, random furniture type things, etc. And there was organizing on top of the de-cluttering. We have bins and designated shelves and shoe cubbies now. Shoe cubbies, you guys. Like, an actual separate piece of wooden furniture specifically for shoes. This is what being an adult feels like, amiright?
What have you been up to? What’s made you feel like an adult lately?
