Overall I've made commendable progress in organizing the study, though it has taken much longer than anticipated. Contributing to the prolonged pocess was the discovery of two nondescript boxes containing treasures like old journals, cards, emails, and various keepsakes from years gone by. Instead of just throwing everything into a trash bag and being done with it, I had to peruse, sort, and, in some cases, file various pieces of the past. This sort of "housekeeping" is more difficult than one might think. So much of it can have at least some sentimental value and it's largely a judgement call as to what goes and what stays. As I was in one of those "every goes!" moods, much of it went away, save for the significant things like old handwritten journals and various letters. It's a good feeling to let go of the past in such a way.
This morning I'm going to run out to procure a floor lamp or two and other assorted odds and ends that should bring the study project to a completion. It's looking and feeling a lot better in here now, so I've effectively eliminated an excuse for avoiding..well.....studying.
