On Friday I unpacked a box that was left from when I moved here. I mean, the box had been opened and the top layers of it was an ever shifting bit of papers from school, things to be filed, and partially done craft projects. The bottom layers were a mystery I've only caught sight of periodically when something from the top fell lower into the box, or when I wanted some kind of grab-bag-ish treat.

So I went in and sorted it all out and treats were the least of it. Found my passport (which'll come in handy when Tess, Jen and I head off to London in next year). Found my regular camera and three rolls of film that I must have taken back in Berkeley. Found an entire set of fieldnotes from that project I worked at the Bancroft Library. But best of all put away the items I wanted, tossed the rest, and finally got that box out of my living room.

The Living Room is still a bit of a work in progress. The lack of bookshelves is actually pretty funny by now (poor Anna keeps knocking books over as she rubs up against them -- it's like Jim's bookstore on The Hill in here in places). Need a coffee table. And my tiny TV... well it makes watching anything with subtitles trying. But getting the box out is a good first step.

Doing (life and related tasks): Have been busy at work, saw Revels this weekend with SS the SS and her sister, dinner party at D and Fergus', etc.

Doing (crafty stuff): Just finished up my knitting. Mostly. Now just a liiiiiittle more knitting and some embroidery to do and I'm done done done.

Wanting: These projects to be done.

Anticipating: A great Christmas!
