I managed to sort through three boxes yesterday and repack so that one can survive winter temperatures and possible freezing, one must be indoors at my kiln, and the third is all stone which needs to be identified, have the cost recorded, and be filed into my system. I guess I fell behind in this process a few years ago. *sigh* It's going to take me a LONG time to get this nailed, but I'm going to feel much better once I have.
Five minutes ago another visit by the Gods of Thunder crackled and boomed at my window. Another one just hit now. There are lightning strikes within three miles of my house (according to my weather app on my phone), so there's a storm pulling through. According to the app, it's going to be a wet day again today, with rain ranging from 100% to 50% and back to 100% throughout the day. My umbrella will be in use today and my shoes will get wet as I walk into the shop from my parking space.
One of the things DH had requested was my moving my small wood stack away from a drawer unit. I successfully put the shorter (less than three feet) pieces onto a cabinet shelf, but the taller pieces just didn't have a home. DH says he might put them at the very top of our new storage unit. That's fine, but I'll have to put a label onto it or I'll forget that it's there. Since I use the wood as dividing panels in my box art (I re-purpose boxes and enhance them for their new uses), I'll probably need those lengths of wood at some point and will go looking for them, not remembering that they are near the ceiling. A label will be necessary.
For years I had a P-Touch label system - loved it and used it. When I pulled it out of its' drawer a few days ago there was no power. Replacing the batteries seemed to not work, even though the batteries were new, and attaching a transformer to allow it to run electrically also failed. I tossed it and ordered a newer model which, since I had a Discover credit I could use, ended up free! Of course, I also needed some label tape, but in the end, a $50+ product cost me less than $20. I can live with that. It'll be delivered in a week (free shipping option).
So I'm going to let the Thunder Gods continue their conversation as they roll over the Cities. I'm going to wrap this up, find photos to add, and call it a wet morning as I brave the elements to get to the gym. Have a wonderful and amazing Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow - a little soggy but ready to continue this journey of life.
