For the time being, it works. Someday I’ll have a second guest room, and I can really go to town. I need the first guest room open for the snorer in the family and my collection of Barbies and other 11.5″ dolls. There may come a time when I want to sell most of them, but I was really selective about what I bought. I just found my Barbie case. The date on it says 1968, so it was around that time I got it. I opened it and Barbie, Stacy, Francie, Skipper and a GI Joe (!) looked as if I just played with them yesterday. I forget why the GI Joe was in there-I figure Mom found him at an auction or yard sale for me.
Not feeling too great to go to the chiropractor. My upper back is bothering me more and I woke up with a ‘tummyache’ about 2:30. I took more Rolaids and chewed some gum then and am better, but feel like I am hungover (only been that way a long time ago!) He may say that 21 years of gardening, plus having Lyme Disease may have taken their toll on me. When I mentioned I had LD (got it in about 1997) he asked if they followed up on me after I took the 3 weeks of antibiotics and I said ‘no’.
Anyway-here’s my desk that I will spruce up-it’s bigger than it looks-about 30″ long:
I found the teapot piece in the back and am finally utilizing it. My friend sent me most of the papers on the left and I was going through the papers on the right. I have tons of paper! Still sorting through them and will arrange by color. I’d like to bring a 3-door storage piece up from the basement to replace the boxes.
The bookcase on the right is just one of my pieces for my cookbooks.
I’ll let you know what goes down today.
~Update-I went to the chiropractor and he said my neck and back muscles are definitely tight and could benefit from treatment. He did strength tests, used the little rubber hammer and told me his dislike of one of the doctors where we go. I don’t care much for her much either and was always glad when I had the PA instead of her. She wouldn’t listen to anything you say. I am going to go a few times a week (I hope the insurance covers some of it or I won’t be able to afford to go). I hope it helps!

Wow, Dianne, that’s such a great work space!!!
You may find that the chiro helps a lot. One of the women I work with went to one for the first time last month and was amazed at how much better her back felt. I think she is still going to him. I personally have never been to one, so I can’t give any first hand advice.
I do hope you feel better soon so you can really enjoy your new work area.
HI, Chiropractors are great, their job is to ease the pain, then work out the problem, so you go less and less often.
When I had a bad car accident years ago, I woke the next day stiff and in agony.
We went to the Chiro, and he worked on it every other day for about 2 weeks, and I never took pain killers or anything, Then I went once a week for a bit, and once a month, etc..Until I didn’t have to go after a few months, I would never had made it without him. Also he gave me exercises to do to build up the strength in my neck and shoulders after the whiplash.
I also credit him, my husband would not be able to do all he does today if not for the chiropractor, he has bad discs.
He went for treatments years ago, and weened off them, now he knows how to adjust himself when he gets out of line.
On another note, this one musical. I went to a free show at the library. Music care kids. Teens that sing for charity. These kids are so professional, their voices are amazing.
The poise they have, amazes me, I never had that at 16-17. I will send you the link.
A great space it is-I love it. I hope you get to feeling better.
