The past 24 hours have involved much work with others on organizing things; a trend I hope we continue throughout the year. Last night after supper, hubby was seized with the urge to start putting away all the Christmas decorations (very few of which were out due to our Christmas travels). Inside of one hour we'd taken down & put back into our attic the artificial wreaths & Christmas tree & the few seasonal things scattered around the house.
Today, following on that theme, a fellow chorister & I spent two hours organizing the music library for our church's choir. With three of us (my 9 year old joined us & ended up with an old Underwood manual typewriter for her trouble!), it was neither overwhelming nor particularly difficult. However, it was one of those jobs NOBODY had made time to do while the choir room was being remodeled earlier this year and now the task was just, well, grabbing us by the throats, daring us to gain control over its chaos. Mercifully, the hardest bits were sorting through disorganized piles of music & removing pieces from singers' folders for return to the disordered storage boxes (which were returned to numeric order rather than 1, 210, 75, 42, 357...).
After all this, hubby and I spent an hour or so crunching numbers! ~:P (Not my personal favorite domestic chore, but it does need to be done regularly.) Next on my personal list is to go through my wardrobe & send some donations to Goodwill...perhaps by the time the kids & I travel to NC for a church retreat in a few weeks.
