June Minimalist Challenge

Tonight I took photos of the room I am going to work in. It is already feeling hard/ Tomorrow is June 1, I have a work day, a job interview on lunch, and then afterward could go to gallery walk/First Friday and also volunteered to usher at a late night comedy show 9 - 12. I feel like it is a ready, set, go! situation!

My goal is that by the end of June this room will be set up as a usable office/hobby room (music, art) and able to be used as a guest room, including some closet space for guests, etc.

Everything I own except my bike is contained between this apartment and my car. I want to get this room usable, but also keep in mind that moving is possible! I am looking for a new job and if I don't stay in Bloomington I will move again!

and it is crazy superstitious, but as I started writing this little post "No Rain" came on my Pandora and that made me happy and made me feel optimistic. I always think of it as a good sign when I hear that song at the right time!

Love

It’s the love, stupid.

If women didn’t love men, if a great many of us weren’t attracted to them, didn’t desire them in our lives in some way, we wouldn’t waste our time shedding tears about their lack of understanding the dangers women face.

From It's the Love, Stupid by Natalie Houchins
