The Office

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I have been pledging to clean and organize my office at the other end of the house. Somehow being way down there, it is so easy to close the door and not deal with it.

This morning, armed with a box of trash bags, CD’s to listen to, and a timer, I opened the door and set about working. So as not to do too much to tire my neck, I set the alarm at one hour.

I started at the seating area near the computer. I started to go through the computer books we had and discovered that almost all were seriously outdated, and many of the books were for machines that have long since gone to the dump.

After an hour, it looked like a tornado had hit the room, but there were four large trash bags filled to the brim. I have arranged for Hubby to remove them in the morning.

I started in on the shelves in the closet and low and behold I found a note pad with the mileage, cost of the diesel, and miles driven per day, when Hubby and I took a cross country trip back in the year 2000. I also found the pictures, the discs with the digital pictures, and a few post cards that I never mailed. This is exciting, my friends, as I may write about that trip. It was an amazing way to see our country. In a motor-coach, with Hubby, our white shepherd, Max and my beloved Shubi, who was my first wire-haired dachshund.

I also found the stories I wrote about Shubi, from a puppy’s point of view. I wrote these stories back in 1996 when we brought Shubi home from Germany. At one time I had hoped to write children’s stories. They’re cute, and what I plan to do now is copy them into the computer, add more pictures and see how my Savannah likes them.

Tomorrow it’s back to work in the office. This is turning into a fun event!
