unclutterThis has been another sluggish week, dealing with new computer and B with mysterious infection that is Not strep throat. I managed not to accumulate more piles of stuff, but not much reduction took place.
I did go through a pile of papers I brought from B2P for shreding, only to find a letter from the Post Office about a box we shipped to Sheridan that apparently fell of the conveyor in Chicago and broke open. They sent the label from the box, and suggested that I could ask that the contents be searched for. Since the box was shipped on July 13, the PO letter suggested it was damaged on July 20, and it is now August 4, I do not expect much to be found. Had I looked through the paper stack earlier, like 8 days ago when I brought it home, something might turn up. I went to the workroom today and made a list of the books in the order and will send them to the Atlanta dead letter office, but I suspect the books are somewhere in Chicago and not findable. Lesson for me - check your paperwork right away.
I started working on the stacks of books and dvds and cds in the space needed to open our sleeper sofa. A friend is coming on August 20, and I need to be able to open the sofa before then. I managed to pick out all the dvds and cds that were stacked there because they had no designated storage space - not enough shelf space. They still have no designated space but I managed to create a shelf space to pile them all until we can do a big dvd and cd sort sometime later - like maybe November.

Date: 2017-08-05 01:52 pm (UTC)Although I do find that when things like that happen, for me it motivates me for a little while to try and do better so it can't happen again, so I'll try and get things organised more efficiently. I still have too much to do on that front though.
Speaking personally, another couple of DVDs have been added to the going pile. The broken printer is stacked near the door to go to the recycling centre (and I've removed the cartridges and am hoping they'll be usable in the 'new' printer). Just need to finish clearing up all the unpacking related debris now.
