Or mostly finished anyway!
This is my new dedicated office space.
My massive desk above-just great for spreading out the research.
Looking out from the desk-this old TV cabinet (ok not that old from the 1990's)
holds my printer and office supplies.
Also from behind the desk looking towards the hall and the closet.
The previous owners painted the doors to match the walls-ugh.
I haven't decided if I'll them using the cream on the walls or return them to white.
They also painted all the outlets (6) and switches (2) to match the walls-you really aren't supposed to do that! They will be getting changed out. I already have the replacements.
You'll notice the closet door is without a knob.
For some unknown and idiotic reason that door had a KEYED lock on it!
Somehow, in all the trips to bring seasonal boxes to that lovely walk in closet the inside lock got twisted and then I shut the door.
Yep, locked, no key.
After checking the internet and trying all the suggestions there I finally took the last-all else has failed suggestion and used a hammer on it.
Replacing it will be simple I just have to go buy one.
I don't know any longer what to be the most upset about.
The way my country is falling apart,
The situation in Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey,
or the fact that Montana is burning.
My heart hurts for the people of Texas-even the thought of losing everything is terrifying. Cleanup is beginning but it seems we didn't really learn anything from Katrina.
Montana is one of my favorite places on earth.
40 new fires began over the weekend.
Many of the places I visited last year now have serious, on-going fires with the associated smoke, highway closings and evacuations.
People have lost homes, livestock, fences, everything.
Glacier National Park lost a historic chalet,
The smoke is so bad you can't see the mountains.
Evacuations are everywhere.
The governor has called out the National Guard.
So far as I know ALL of these fires have been started by lightening.
It will take some serious snowfall to put them all out.
So Texas and Montana-two examples of the effect climate change has on the land.
But, wait, it doesn't exist!
To which I say Bullsh*t!

We've seen lots of footage here about the floods in Texas but nothing about the wildfires(?) in Montana. I'm pretty sure fires and floods occurred long before the expansion of white settlement across North America. Just not enough folks around before then to record it. We are about to enter bush fire season here. Almost no rain this winter has created very dry vegetation. I'm inside today due to the heavy back-burning smoke. Needs to be done. I know that there are always Aussie fire fighters who jump on planes to go and support their colleagues around the world. You call them First Responders - a great name. I don't know where you find the strength and will to rebuild your life after losing everything. Must put a lot into perspective. On a brighter note, your office space looks great. What a terrific desk!
