Bringing you up to date

 I am now in the process of moving my entire office to the second floor.  I am contemplating how to join the two offices into one.  Even though I have books galore and have been donating and giving them away, yesterday I dropped an empty book shelf into the basement, scattering the book shelf into pieces of debris.  Better the book shelf than myself.  I am now using my beautiful desk as a tv stand and as soon as I remove the books from the other stand, it will find itself on the sidewalk.  I am using a desk my parents brought over some time ago.  They were as happy if not happier in buying it for me than I was receiving it.  I have written lots on this worn table.  My plan is still to provide you with all my notes as I transition and get rid of all my paperwork.  I am taking my time as I decide what to keep, trash or give away.  I am also considering a yard sale this summer to rid of some stuff and sell my books at the same time.  I may not have lots, but can call it a mini yard sale and meet me.  Buy one of my books while you're at it.  Or,  I may just donate all (not my books of course);  Haven't decided yet.  I am still yearning for Niagara Falls, but the housing market has fallen once again.  I have toyed with the idea of putting it up for one month and see what happens.  I already have an agent in mind and this time, there shall be no staging what so ever.  I still have one painting to bring in for repairs.  I pick my battles and going after the stager is not one of them.  I chalk it up to experience.  I would recommend that if you go this route, you take a video of your own stuff with a date before so you can see what gets broken, disappears or whatever.  I am still finding things.  I don't think anything was taken, just hidden.  I am slowly going through each room deciding how I want it to look and what I need.  You know what I need?  -  a big comfortable sofa chair.  That will be on the menu so I can drag what I have to the sidewalk.  It is full of souvineers from my pets who loved to scratch it, nap on it and whatever else they wanted to do with it to make it cozy for them, when they weren't on top of me.  That is all for today.
