Day 46

I must derived some great joy and satisfaction out of checking things off a To Do list. This Saturday's project involved cleaning the basement. Wish I had taken a before picture so that the improvement would be notable, but let's just say that before cleaning, it looked something like this.

Now that all the junk is thrown away, the floors are swept, and the scary corners have been exorcised, it looks more like this:

I've set up a nice, clean work station for making luminaries with an enclosed spray booth. Even hooked up an old stereo system for light NPR listening. Do you see all that space?! I think I'll start skating down there. 

This big project also afforded me the luxury of wearing one of my favorite pieces of clothing. Let's hear it for the old, raggedy Homestar hoodie!

With its holes and paint splatters (and of course the lovable Runner) this hoodie is the most comfortable thing I own. It goes with me on all camping trips, takes a beating when working on dirty projects, it's warm and cozy 

on cold days, makes me feel better when I'm sick. Ah, yes. Simple pleasures.
