I've been busy this week and finally landed on a slack afternoon.

Yesterday my friend Rachael came over and we excavated my nerdhole. Took about 4 hours and it's a small room so that gives some sense of the pile up in there.

It's in good shape now and we have achieved Step 1 to reclaiming it as a working office, though I do have the very Buffista problem of Too Many Books.

It's so much easier doing shit like this when you've got a fun friend to plow through it with.

Cleaning the nerdhole is consistent with this year's plan of Making Things Less Janky which also included fixing the garage door and putting in a new door to the garden. My downstairs neighbor, Jamille, said we were Beautifying the house. I said that was a bar too high and Less Janky was an achievable goal.

Matilda and I cleaned out the Guinea Pig cage this morning too so I really just need a whack at the dishes and vacuum to get the house in order.
