I hear you Carol! I am sure you will figure out a solution...maybe it isn't the exact way you wanted it, but the entire purpose is to contain the files and be able to move them. It is a great great idea!

Mary!
Great reading! You go girl!

I added another two small classes to do this week! The house is so clean it is my reward for that! LOL One is only a short class, and only $5! Can't go wrong with that one. The other class is a new one introduced by this talented lady who I attend all the classes I can that she offers!

Have the dentist today for a cleaning and then I can do some more porch work. Would like to have that all cleaned and set up.
The screened in is on half of it, and the other half is open.
I have a table and chairs out there and the DGs's brought a chaise lounge up for me to relax in on warm days. Can;t wait to have it set up.

I sat down last night with my graph paper and scissors and made a to-scale mock-up of the "office" area and the furniture that I wanted to put in there. I tried every which way I could configure it, and it just wasn't going to fit. I have ended up eliminating one of the tables (not quite sure what I'll do with it yet). I've decided that I'm going to put the pseudo filing cabinet (aka blanket chest) behind the couch in the living room. It's only about 5 feet away from my desk anyway so I "think" I can walk that far to get my files when I need them. It's a nice looking piece of furniture anyway and exactly matches the other wood pieces that I have in the living room so it will look like it was meant to be that way.

So, after all that furniture moving (on paper!), early this afternoon I had DD help me move the office pieces around to where I had them placed on the graph paper. And, guess what? It works great! So much easier than moving the actual furniture over and over again until I get it right. Now, I've got the big pieces placed properly in the office area just need to get everything loaded until the shelves.

Forgot to add that I have also eliminated my desktop computer. I just DO not have room for it any more. When time and money allows, I will buy an inexpensive laptop for my personal use. I should be able to find one that will suit my needs pretty reasonably priced. It certainly does not have to have all the bells and whistles. My work laptop has that.

Next, I will have DD help me move the couch into position and get the other big pieces in the living room set up. Then, I'll tackle the boxes.

today i got in 40 email and read 39, but some of those i needed to fwd and that takes a few seconds each

i went to the mall and bought myself some perfume. that was my errand for the day.

Carol:
Good solution and close enough to be useful! Glad it worked out for you. Sounds like you are really getting settled!
Congratulate your DD on her concert for me!

Mary:
Good reading. That is a lot of reading. I can manage an hour at the computer,don't know how you can do that amount of reading!

Going to start another thread....this is getting too long and we have some time left in March.

See you on the new thread.
