New Office

Well, the new office is nice to sit in. It is the first morning using it in a work fashion and I am enjoying it. I painted the room a light airy color and installed a new maple laminate floor; from IKEA of course. New wooden blinds finish it off nicely. The IKEA bookcase laid horizontally makes a nice addition and usable workspace as well.

I realize in the picture that the wires could use a bit more organization.

the windows and trim have not been painted yet & the art isn't hung on the walls yet.

floor looks good eh'

$89 bookcase was on sale for $49 - laid horizontally

In case you didn't know the whole house is going through a renovation. The wooden blinds in the front of the house really make a huge difference in the appearance of the house...in a good way. I removed all the aluminum siding from the outside of the house and am still in the process of painting the wood shingles which started 1 year and 7months ago. I worked in the field in North Dakota for the whole summer last year which put a huge delay in the outside painting job. Check old blog entries for great bird photos from ND last summer.

I am starting my new effort in trying to get in shape today as well. I have 100 lbs to lose...at least. That is a daunting task and the feeling of desperation and crushing depression over my current condition is very real. The business is coming along nicely but it is an extremely stressful undertaking as well. Wish me luck at the gym, getting in shape is likely the key to everything good in life.
