Sunday Was A Day Of Cleaning

Yesterday's goal was to catch up on some really needed sleep and to polish things that I needed to get back into inventory at the shop. There's nothing like polishing sterling silver chains that have been buried and unfound for more than fifteen years. Icky tarnish. I had polished them a week or so ago with a dip, but wanted them brighter and shinier, so Sunday's task was using a foaming-style rub-on cleaner. It took time and elbow grease, but they look much better now and I will happily have 18" chains for sale at the shop once again. 

There's something really wonderful about bright,
shiny silver. It tarnishes fairly easily, though, so
keeping it happy and shiny takes a bit of work. 

DH said he wanted me to unpack the four boxes stacked next to my red tool chest, separate what could be put on the breezeway soldering bench (not much, since it's not a heated space) and get the inside stuff put away properly. That took most of the afternoon, but I achieved success. I now have my chest refilled with my tools and materials, and my drawers are labelled appropriately. I can actually find things! It's a shock, I know - LOL. There's still so much to do, but we're actually getting there - things are working and the inside spaces are starting to get organized and cleaned. 

I love my tool chest, and now that I have my stuff back in it, I'm
even happier. I've put things away and I've labeled my
drawers. There's still organization needed, but at least
everything is where it needs to be, not buried in boxes. 

Another wonderful and happy things from yesterday was that both of our respective football teams won their games. That's a rare thing, and I was totally smiling when I went to sleep last night. All in all, it was a good Sunday. Now to see how the week ahead pans out, but I'm the eternal optimist. It's going to be a great one! Hope you have a wonderful Monday and I'll be back tomorrow.
