These are busy
days. Christmas is coming up fast. There are planes to be met, cookies to be
baked and English toffee to be made. The Bee House, our second casita, is
almost completely renovated except for the bathroom fixtures selection and
installation. Progress depends on our making some final choices, so I’m busy
with collecting bids.
I need to stay
focused, but yesterday I felt the urge to take a day off to concentrate on
getting better organized. Our tiny house has two sheds attached to its back.
One is for the water heater. The other is a precious storage space. It had
become so disorganized I could barely get inside. Last winter I urged Dennis to
get some shelving, but he hadn’t shown interest.
As it happened,
yesterday was our 41ST wedding anniversary. Knowing that Dennis
loves giving gifts, I grabbed the chance to ask for shelving as an anniversary
gift and right away we were off to purchase shelving. Logan, who is here from
Madison for the holiday, offered to go along.
After lunch and a
short nap, Logan and Dennis got busy on the shed project. They carried out all
the stuff that was on the floor.
That didn’t leave
much inside. (Yeah, I should have also asked that the shed be painted inside
before moving in shelving, but I dared not press my luck.)
With two people
working the shelving went together quickly. (That's the Bee House in the
background, and its new side door.)
In about an hour
the whole job was done.
Uh-ho, it now
becomes clear that we have way too many coolers. Thrift store donations are in
order. I’ll add that to my long, long to-do list, but right now I’m going to make
those cookies.
