I’m reorganizing my basement.
Technically, the basement is my office and workspace, so organizing it (and trying to keep it organized) is quite important. The end of this week (Friday) until mid-next-week, I suspect, is going to be completely absorbed by shuffling boxes, books, and shelves from one area to a different area.
The current arrangement of furniture was somewhat dictated by the people who lived here before we bought the house: they had their shelves on particular walls, and so I kinda followed in their stead. But after 12 years, I think it’s time to arrange the room according to my needs, rather than the needs of those who came before.
It’s not going to be easy! All the bookshelves are weighed down by massive numbers of books, and the desk and table are all moving around the room in one way or another. Hundreds of little paint bottles, my airbrush, my LEGO sorting drawers… all of it going from where it is to somewhere else that, hopefully, will make the space more organized and more useable.
And, critically, give me room to install a table specifically for my stop-motion efforts. Because those are all insanely overdue.
I’ll keep y’all posted! And I’m doing all this while still editing the novel (I’m up to Chapter 21!).
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
