Goodwill Haul

Goodwill Haul #goodwill #thrifting #goodwillhaul

Slide boxes! They aren’t a perfect solution, but they’re an improvement over the Ziploc bags my grandpa’s slides were stored in.

I grabbed the Tori Amos piano books for my youngest brother. I used to drag him to shows when he was a wee tot, and one of them was Tori. He’s always loved her music.

The Noel Streatfield book reminded me of a childhood friend who died a few years ago. She introduced me to Dancing Shoes and Trixie Belden.

And a couple of pairs of jeans, Shel Silverstein, and some old, cloth covered binders, to round it all out.

Hark! A shelf!

I finally put up a shelf, to get some of the junk off my desk. #deskie #clean #gettingshitdone

I put up a shelf, above my desk. And that’s about all I accomplished today. I’m still in the midst of filing hell. I’m down to one box of unidentified, unlinked Basquills. Some of the papers go to people I’ve already entered into my database, but most aren’t. And all of them need to have files made, once I’ve identified/entered their info.

Exciting stuff!

The Unspeakable Pile

I did a huge amount of filing genealogy papers today. I’m still not done, but the Unspeakable Pile is about 1/3 the size it was. Unfortunately, what’s left are all “strays” from my Basquill name study. I’m not sure how I’m going to tackle them. That’s a project for another day, though.

Morning Belt of Venus

Belt of Venus and New Ductwork

It was about 5F at 5:30 this morning, when I left for work. There wasn’t much frost on my car windows, but what there was was stuck on with super glue. It took me almost 20 minutes to get everything scraped. And then, even though I’d started the car and had the heater cranked all the way up, there was still frost on the inside of my windshield.

Ick.

And then the sun came up and everything was forgiven. What a gorgeous sky!
