The great shades project! I could also call this “the great feng shui hide the file boxes shelf project” but that is a lot to type… I still need to steam and weight the shades but I think they turned out nice. A lot nicer than the temporary sheet solve. (yay!) That is mulberry paper […]
The white heron visited yesterday. It is unusual to see the white heron in the little River Walk stream when it is full. Usually the beautiful birds visit when the stream has been partially drained and the water is low. I think of it as a White Heron Christmas now. That is not to say […]
Each time I move, I face the same struggle. The boxes. Me: They are great boxes! Also Me: Recycle them. Me: The packing material was expensive! Also Me: Recycle it. Me: But but but but but — Also Me: We’re not paying for storage for a year to save moving boxes and packing material. Me: […]
Move day is tomorrow. Moves are NOT feng shui. I’m going to miss these windows. The new place has pretty windows too though. I will show you after I get up and running there. Also half my damn move is file boxes. Lots and lots and lots of files. Urk. It is time to roll […]
The shoe cupboard came. It is fancy and nice and I was calling it my birthday present because it allegedly was not going to arrive until February, (Max Mas, yay!), but it came early. Pretty, right? Yay! No more shoes in the entry hall! Also it better be pretty. It took four hours to assemble. […]
I have books. Many many books. Not as many books as I used to have. I used to have 1,000 pounds of books. I know this because I paid to move 1,000 pounds of books one time. That was a lot of moves ago. It is surprising how many books you at one time thought […]
Art. It is a dilemma. The art is always fighting with feng shui too. The Marilyn and Rothko fight is about that. There is this spot of wall between two windows that is perfect for one big piece of art. The Marilyn piece would be perfect in that spot. So would the Rothko piece though. […]
Why, you ask, would I need a wood chipper? Shredding! Sweet Mother Mary! Shredding took forever. The little shredder can do 12 pages at a time, but I had 15 years to shred. A friend asked why I had all those documents and it’s because I’m not just a person, I’m a business, so it’s […]
I’m in a new city. Packed up everything parts Austin end of December and moved to San Antonio. I think about just how lucky I am. I can do that. Just pack up and go. I could move to the moon if there were internet on the moon. I love the new place. It is […]
That is all.
