It has been a busy one today, let me tell you. What a Hump-Day it has turned out to be. Had to red line it from 8:30am until a little while ago when I actually broke to eat my breakfast/lunch. I think I’ve managed to get ahead of the bulk of my work with one coordinated mad dash at it. Had to spot fill some gaps on a couple projects for another client inbetween all these new items. But I feel I am in good stead, as I wait on high resolution final assets from external partners. Or maybe not, who can tell this early on. Good place to be if all is well. I feel slightly less uncomfortable now. Bit of a panic when 13/14 new items come in at once that are all slightly related in one form or another. Well two camps of artwork, but roughly joined. If you know what I mean. Even had some new Photoshop compositing work added into the mix today. Good to stretch those muscles every now & again.
No major clear outs today. I got through some closets yesterday, and that seems to have satiated my desire to purge/clean/reorganize matters. I’d love to do much, much more. But I can only move around so many things without input from the rest of the family. Clothing swaps, donations, garbage runs. It has to be coordinated. My kids seem to cling to old clothes and stuff that they never wear, just to artificially inflate their closets. Pass off the too small/don’t like – don’t wear items, and make room for the next size up gear we have stored away. Keep the chain moving. Takes effort, both physical and mental to stay on top of it. Plus I’d love to reclaim the space from all this unused, or unwanted gear. House just feels better when every single closet and corner is not packed to the rafters with unused clothing of every shape, colour, cut & design.
Part of me loves the minimalist ideal, and part of me wants cozy eclectic collections of things. Hard balance to strike around these parts. School pick up in an hour. Back to work then! Ciao Bella!
