I’m spending a couple of hours each day trying to completely reorganize my art room so that the heavy stuff is on the bottom shelves, or in low cabinets, and then go through what I’m putting back ON the shelves to distribute weight better while I create areas of art activity, such as “stationery & notecard supplies.”

Today the first thing I’ll do is take a couple of leaf bags up to the art room to gather up what I’m throwing away so far. I don’t want to overload the trash bags, either, because we need to be able to lift THEM to put them in the trash can Monday.

I MAY get the new brackets I ordered today. If so – and they’ll work – my husband and I will put up the shelf that fell down, being careful to use different holes for the brackets in the wall strips.

I removed EVERYTHING from the wall shelves and am totally rethinking how I’ll use those shelves.

It may take a couple of weeks or more of holding leaf bags full of throwaway stuff from the art room in the garage, since we can usually only fit three bags into our humongous trash can for pickup. That’s okay. Whatever it takes.

Even though I’m getting a BUNCH of exercise bending over, pulling, hauling, relocating – and I’m eating supposedly right, incorporating the extra protein shake my doc wanted me to daily – I’m actually GAINING a bit of weight. ARRRRRRRRGH! I’ve read that eating too MUCH protein can throw me out of ketosis, so ugh. I’ll need to study more to figure out the best way to tackle this.

I wish you a wonderful Saturday with lots of smiles.

Can you see my hair blowing as July whizzes past me? I feel the month has barely started, but it’s over half-way gone! How did THAT happen?

We have our typical exciting day planned – gathering trash and taking it down to the humongous trash can at the bottom of the driveway, then getting the mail and going for groceries. Be still, my heart. :0) We are still having to drive ‘the back way’ to get to town. My husband went to see what progress had been made on the new bridge being built between us and town. He said there was a large concrete pillar in the center of the hole and lots of rebar. It looks like they are doing a much more serious job this time – a total rebuild, rather than a repair.

Our “replace-fluorescent-tubes-with-LED-tubes” project throughout the house continues. We have gotten into a “convert-2-fixtures-a-day” mode lately. This leads to much less stressful days and gets the job done eventually. I still resent being forced to do this conversion, but they ‘allowed us’ some 35 years before they decided to change, so I guess we can’t really complain…
