Hooray, I think. Not entirely sure whether this week is a hooray week yet. I started my new job and it is a high-profile-out-there-for-everyone-to-see kind of job that means talking to a lot of people and being very professional. Yesterday, I walked into my office to discover that while the rooms are charming (It's in the upper floors of a museum and the building has been around for over 150 year.), the office itself was extremely cluttered and piled with storage and boxes and yucky plastic shelves. I studied it out and decided that in order for it to become my office things would have to change. So today I spent 6 hours creating a working space that is open and bright where people can stop in, sit down and discuss business while enjoying the feeling of an antique room being put to modern use. There are still piles of papers to go through, but the boxes and ugly shelves have been banished to a store room. I feel like I can work and breath in my office.
I am really bad about creating working space for myself at home and will write at my computer for hours while ignoring the toys, papers, cups, broken sunglasses, folded laundry and other sundry items ON my desk. (Yes there is a small stack of dish towels on my desk right now that need to be put away because they are clean.) SO I have decided to challenge myself to create a nicer working space and take what I do more seriously by making room to breathe while I write and work. Now if I can just get an area rug for my office I'll be set.

I do all of my writing and blogging on my bed. Admittedly, it gets a little disheveled. Sometimes I have to change venues and go to the couch to either a) keep a better eye on my kids while they do their chores or b) keep my kids from destroying the house and/or each other. But that always throws me off so I inevitably move back to the bed.
