Slowly
I spent a good portion of today cleaning things up. Specifically, my image files. Not my online or digital image files, oh no. My physical image files.
I have several boxes (shoebox sized and larger) stacked in the other closet of my office (not the one Dave just put shelves in, the other closet), each carefully labelled and containing images cut from calendars, magazines, catalogues, junk mail. On Friday, a friend of mine gave me a milk crate full of book covers that the university library didn't want to keep. Today, I went through them for images I wanted, setting covers aside for use in student projects in the fall.
When I went to file the images in my boxes, I discovered a relatively large stack of images I hadn't filed earlier. Apparently while I spent August-May being really, really busy, I was putting images on top of the boxes instead of in them. To save time. Well, I spent all that saved time today, when the stack of images tipped over and scattered all over the floor of my office. They're all filed now.
I also did laundry and some dusting and cleared off part of my desk. It's slow going, this organization stuff, but eventually it will pay off. At least, I hope it will. Already, parts of my office are looking better than they have in months.
Looks to be pretty similar stuff for tomorrow, though I'm hoping to have time to do some create-y stuff as well. Which I kept promising myself today, but wow did time get away from me. And here I am again, yawning like the top of my head is going to come off and taking an exceptional amount of time and space to say very little. Must be time for bed. I'm babbling.
