The week has already started and I'm already planning for the weekend, lol. In my defense, I still have STUFF to get done. I've got a new layout for my room planned and I'm going to do a bit of a purge while I go about it. Might call and see if my oldest nephew is available and willing to come help, since I'll have to move some furniture and that's easier with two.

One issue I've had when it comes to decorating my space is that when I first started buying wall art, well, I had more wall. Since then, I've hung a painting that was languishing in my closet and gotten those new shelves. I really like the painting, especially how it fits in the space where I have it, but I think I'm going to take it down. I'm also planning to move one of my bookcases into the closet-- still to be used for storage purposes, of course. Since I'm already condensing a lot of the stuff I have on the (mostly) non-book-bearing bookcases and since I already cleared some of my closet shelves, I figure I can clear a lot of space on the remaining case and use those shelves for display space. I'll still need to weed my collection, don't get me wrong, but that'll save me some tough decisions and also open the door for a few display options I've been considering.

I've already moved along one Transformers toy on eBay and I've still got a lot more to list. Many of them, I don't think I'll get to until the weekend due to having them put up... in the closet. Yeah, there's lots of rearranging to be done, lol. I figure I'll focus on prep-work tidying this week, so I'll be ready for the big stuff. Depending on what I get done before the weekend, I may even have time to go to the farmers market. Don't wanna get too ahead of myself, of course-- still got a few days to go! That said, the better prepared I am, the more likely I'll be able to do what I want to do.

Trying to keep up with the news this weekend has been a wild ride. Not only in the sense of what's happening but in how it's being reported. I know, I know-- I should be used to the double standards by now. But omfg. These people may as well come right out and tell us all to ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears. You could teach an entire course about propaganda that covers just these past two years, with a whole unit-- possibly two-- on just the past few days.

Making pretty good progress on the first scrap blanket. Though I did get myself all disappointed when I realized I didn't have enough of certain colors to do something I wanted to. I almost considered buying more just for that, lol, but it's not like I can get the colors I want individually. Too bad. It's still gonna come out looking nice, of course, and that's what matters. This might be the blanket for my new nibling, haven't decided yet.

I feel sick with anxiety. I don't know what kind of news I should expect to wake up to tomorrow. The naive part of me keeps thinking, someone has to do something now. But of course these last couple of years have shown us they don't.
