Remember when I said that I had spent several hours trying to get the craft room organized? Two days and it seems that everything has exploded once again.

But I have a plan. It might just. be a cunning plan.

It starts like this – with a lot of moving pieces/parts- or works like a Tetris puzzle depending on your opinion. First, Dani & Alex will be moving to their own place sometime in the next month. This means they will also take their few remaining things out of the garage which have been there since they moved out from Chicago sometime a lifetime ago. Next, Noah will relocate downstairs which means that his furniture, which is also living in the garage, will go into the downstair apartment. That should clear out almost one bay. Then I can get at the back boxes which have been blocked almost since they were shipped from Germany in 2014. 

 Yes, it was that long ago. I know that there are still some boxes back there that belong to Miriam and also some that are Shana’s. What is likely is that neither one of them wants anything they have done without for close to 10 years, but I am not going to make that determination. Then there is the small matter of all the little kids stuff that has come along and accumulated. I need to resort and properly pack many of the things. They aren’t sorted by age/size. And then there are the Legos – the first of which Lev should be ready for within the next year. Eight months is too young for those blocks but I see the time coming.

From there, I can tackle the back shelved room. Right now, I think that the Pandemic might just be over before I finish…
