Everything Old Is New Again!

This morning, I set to work on the desk.  I removed everything from the top and even repainted it.

I sorted all of the pens, pencils and tools that are in the jars at the back. I discarded non working pens and pencils.  I was tired of grabbing a pen or pencil and finding that it no longer made a mark on paper.

After that, I started in on the drawers.  I was amazed at some of the things that I found.  Some of them, I had been looking for... Some things, I didn't even know that I had!

The two Swiss Army Knife kind of tools are a mystery.  I am not sure how long that they have been hiding in the back of the drawer.  They may go to a deserving, new owner.  I know someone that could use them.  I cant even get the big green one open without help from another tool... Not very efficient.

The box sitting next to Tessie is a rusting kit.  Four different colors of rust and instructions on how to use it.  That will come into use when I start Zar's  "Bizarre Bazaar".

Proof of 4 drawers clean...

I have enough sandpaper to last two lifetimes.  I knew I had it.  I just didn't know where it all was stashed.

Anyway, everything in the desk is in the right place now.

I started at the top of the corner bookcase and am finding empty spaces!  That is, I am throwing away some stuff that nobody will ever use.

I didn't move fast enough though.  I was going to hide Tessie's traveling box...

She spotted it before I got it moved.

She is now insisting that we go someplace, so that she can see if it still works.

I am holding her off by telling her that there is no furniture in it and it would be dangerous for her to travel in there without a sturdy chair and a seatbelt to keep her in place...

So far, it is working... I am holding my breath and working as fast as I can.

Back to it!

See you tomorrow.
