Busy...

I've been sorting and pressing, organizing and cleaning. I've been cooking and mopping, clipping and editing. I've been uploading, unpacking, wrapping, and stacking. I've been deleting and backing up and printing and sifting. I've been scrubbing and wiping and freezing and dicing. I've been drying and washing, washing and drying. I've been decorating, un-decorating and re-decorating. I've been doing all this, but not exactly in this order. I'm tired and exhausted and about to pass out, but not nearly finished. I've still got a teetering stack of things to do and not much time to do it in.

I'll be leaving in less than two weeks for Tucson and I've got a list longer than my arm of things that I wanted to get done. Of course, I won't be able to get to everything. It's just the nature of these things. I make grandiose plans and only end up with about a fourth of my list complete. Christmas is on Saturday and then my sister Sheila and her man are coming on Sunday. And then a few days later is New Year's Eve and we're throwing a small get together. (Which, you're all invited to if you want to come.)

Before I leave for Tucson, I'd like to have my studio organized. It's really important for me to sort of know where everything is. And while there are some vast improvements, there are still a few piles and boxes that must be sorted through. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, there are boxes with hundreds of papers that have to be meticulously combed through and filed. Bins of beads thousands heavy that need sorting and so many half-finished projects that need to be finished. If only I didn't need to sleep for those days remaining and still be functional.

Okay, here's hoping to a productive rest of the evening...
