May. 9th, 2006 08:03 pmGoing home tomorrow... whew. It hasn't been too bad a trip, I guess, except for the migraine I've had the whole time. What a shocker.
I was really dismayed when we went into the house at Barbourville to see how little is gone. I dunno, maybe it's more sorted than I think, but I can hardly tell anything's been pitched. Part of the problem, I think, is that they can't just put stuff out on the curb-- trash comes on Mon and Wed, which means that they have to put stuff out the night before, and they work their trips around when Mother feels good enough to go, not by the calendar. I guess if they are there on the right day, since they aren't in the habit, they don't think to put stuff out anyway. And there was something about not paying for garbage service. Anyway, they are bringing everything they need to throw away back HERE. I actually managed to get two bags full back here Monday, along with a big bag for the Salvation Army. Yep, that's all, and Mother was tickled to death that I worked so hard. (I know it doesn't sound like much, but I really did bust ass. You'da been proud.) We also brought back several boxes of photos and letters. Most everything they bring back they sort again once it's here. Believe me, the end is NOWHERE in sight. I think if I had![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bzzzzyb here and we just tackled it for several days the end might be somewhere on the horizon at least. Sigh.
I got a lot done on the handouts for my Color Theory and Shading class today. I had a handout for it already but it was pretty poor. It's going to be great now! I'm adding all sorts of color pix, including a color wheel and several clips of illuminations from manuscripts. I'm going to have to charge for it, but it'll be worth it. Of course, I don't know how much to charge, but I'll think of something.
Daddy is making me a tray table so I can sit in bed and work. Asking him to make something specific is always interesting. He always improves things, and if you aren't there to keep an eye out, it might get improved into something you can't use. I think this one is going to be good, though. We talked about a couple of ideas, and he had a really good suggestion about how to make it be either a flat surface or tilted-- no fancy wingnuts or anything so fancy-- just an extra pair of legs at the back. Six legs sounds silly, but if I use one pair it'll be level, or I can flip the longer ones down to tilt it for writing and reading. Cool.
I'm going to go pack some more I think. Veronica Mars is on tonight, and I've made sure I can watch it (only one TV gets cable.) Oh, the joys of being at the 'rent's. Heh.
