Office Progress
I have successfully avoided doing actual de-cluttering of my office by shopping for it! Had an adventure lugging home 70lbs of diy shelves which collapsed and broke upon completion. Lugged it all back and returned it, then invested in shelves already in one piece at twice the price. You get what you pay for. The second store also carried them to my car for me.
Today, I bought a rug and a new chair and found a silly bulletin board that just happened to complement it all. My desk chair had been hopelessly low and ineffecively padded with pillows. Now I have a short barstool that is a little to tall but makes me feel so much better!

C.R.A.P.
First things first. Have to organize my office, such as it is. My little corner of the basement is where I stash everything when I run out of time to truly put things away properly. That has to stop. My brain requires a clean space. Not a very friendly little corner either. We'll see what we can do.
I bought another set of shelves with some of my Christmas money. Already had trouble with those. The bottom assembly tipped while being assembled so 2 of the attach points are not secure. To satisfy my mock-OCD I will need to find the wood putty and re-do those points. Gack.
Also in my way of setting up the shelves is a pile of unsorted crap in front of the shelves I am replacing, which also need to be taken apart and re-appointed. So, I'm back to the pile of crap I was avoiding in the first place by shopping for shelves.
Crap. Needs a nice acronym definition. Let's see... continually regenerating... assorted... pile. Eh. Because it's not really crap. It's good stuff. I get rid of actual crap. This stuff just needs to be assigned a "proper place" as it were.
