Company Girl Coffee 030212

Good morning, or rather almost afternoon. No, I've not slept in, but have been running in various ways since just before three a.m..

Insomnia is a rare visitor, usually cropping up in the middle of the night rather than at the start. I woke up somewhere between two-thirty and three, went to the bathroom and proceeded to toss and turn the rest of the night. Not the type of start I wanted for a spur of the moment vacation day.

Still, so far, so good. I've been out to Panera for refreshment and a bit of Bible study, then to Aldi for a fairly major grocery run. My own grocery stop was planned, but between the last time I looked at the weather forecast at noon or so yesterday and this morning, our "rain changing to snow, light accumulation possible" changed to a "severe weather warning - six to eight inches of heavy, wet snow possible". That brought out all the nuts who need to stock up on milk and bread - after all, it may be a full eight hours before the streets are clear again (insert eyeroll here).

One of the reasons I took the day off was to start (continue, actually) on the March Madness Challenge Rachel Anne has suggested. I moved into the condo on September 28th. Most areas are unpacked and organized, except for the room that will become the sewing room - you know, the one I keep talking about clearing out so I can paint and put in new flooring?

Along with dealing with the rest of the cardboard cut down in the basement, clearing the boxes in the sewing room is my March Madness project. To shame me into working on it, I'm sharing this picture:

Now that I'm looking at it, I realize the largest stack of unopened boxes is barely visible, over near the wall on the right side. Fortunately, those are primarily sewing supplies that will stay in the room, in the closet that runs the width of the entire wall on the left.

Once I can get close to it.

As you can see, I've been in and out of several boxes, though I think my magical packing lists are still pretty accurate. The room is fairly large...if I remember my Pythagorean theorem correctly, it's about twenty feet from where the picture was taken to the far corner...that's a lot of boxes.

Those boxes won't empty themselves, so I'd better get at it!
