Yay!!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is definitely a step in the right direction towards being organized.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been using a laptop desk to hold my laptop computer, and thinking about having a built-in desk area where Dan had his desk and the audio-visual equipment, aka TV and accounterments, plus laps, and other miscellaneous things resided.\u00a0 Finally we decided to just buy a few simple desks and set them up next to each other.\u00a0 And we bought two lamps for the end tables in the livingroom which are cordless.\u00a0 They use a rechargeable lithium ion battery.\u00a0 Just plug those in and the lamps work for 20 hours.\u00a0 No more extension cord across the floor to get in the way.\u00a0 That is such an improvement!!<\/p>\n<p>My new desk works really well and I&#8217;ve stopped tipping the laptop over! \u00a0 And the risk of spilling tea all over the keyboard is way down.<\/p>\n<p>So, check that desk organization wish-list item off the list, and on to the next.\u00a0 We have ordered some honeycomb shades for the sunroom which should be here next week at some point, and we&#8217;ll put them up.\u00a0 That will make sure when it is winter outside and really cold that we can give the birds some thermal shelter from cold temperatures near the windows.<\/p>\n<p>We did some other things to get organized.\u00a0 We moved the solar panel angle to the winter more vertical slant, which catches more sunlight now that the sun is lower in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>We had a killing frost finally, and we have harvested the tomatoes and peppers from the greenhouse.\u00a0 Beets, carrots and swiss chard don&#8217;t care, so they are still in place.<\/p>\n<p>We need to put the garden to bed and pull the shade off the greenhouse.\u00a0 I guess we&#8217;ll do that this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I might even do some filing of paperwork that has been cluttering up the living room for way longer than I want to admit to.<\/p>\n<p>Organization remains elusive but a noble goal \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doesn&#8217;t that have a nice ring to it?\u00a0 I wonder what it would be like, being organized.\u00a0 Chances are I&#8217;ll never know \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Oh well.
