mapsedgeI am chilled this morning and cannot get warm. I've shut the door to my office to trap the warmth my PC and lamps generate* - in twenty minutes or so, the temperature in my office will have risen appreciably. I'm hoping it will help. Come lunchtime I'll have to go foraging out in the cold. I'll face that when I have to and not worry about it now.
I dreamed last night that we moved, significant for me given I've never lived anywhere else since I was four years old. The house in my dream was a blank slate, full of potential and floors that didn't bounce or squeak. The basement of this "new" house was my real basement, which says something about my state of mind about the work we've been doing downstairs.
The downstairs is cleaner, and with a lot of stuff either put or thrown or donated away, it's more open, more inviting. Almost cozy. If I could find a place elsewhere to store all my leftover fabric I could clear out a LOT of space.
Thanks to the kindness of friends, we're expecting a new dishwasher this weekend. I need to get the old one out and curbside for whoever wants to try their hand at fixing it. Maybe tonight, depending on what's on the schedule.
* I don't use the office fluorescents. I've a "can" light in one corner pointed up at the wall, and a torchiére next to my desk, also pointed up. Both are incandescent and produce quite a bit of heat.
In every office I've ever worked since I started consulting, I arrive early one morning and pull the bulbs from the fixture directly over my desk. People say I love the dark, but actually I hate glare. Big difference. I strive for strong but indirect light.
