New Photos; Plans Solidifying

I'm going to begin with my first photo. Here it is.



It's a photo of my desk. I somehow felt that this would be a good place to start. First of all, this is where I blog. Second, it's the main homesteading project I'm currently working on. Because objects come and go, it's going to get clean and messy and clean and messy in a constantly alternating pattern. But big changes will occur.

The biggest is that eventually - or pretty soon, if I get my act together - I am going to sell that Dell laptop on the right. Then I can begin to rearrange things a little better. I am even thinking that a complete relocation of the desk might be in order - but that can come later.

[I got out of the chair for a minute to look at my room and think about how I might rearrange it. Hmm...]

I think that it would be good to move my desk away from the doors that access the patio. The outside of the patio is not exactly set up for access from my room; but I think that even this slight change will bring my room closer to nature. I would put the desk where my couch is right now. Or wait, no. I would put my desk where my nightstand is. And stack the bookshelves in order to save room. I would then move my nightstand cabinet where the desk is now, and stack it vertically to save room. I will put my lamp on my desk and use the area as a nightstand. It makes more sense that way.

This might require getting rid of more books, but I can handle that.

In other news, I am narrowing down my plans for Peru. I need to spend an hour tomorrow thinking about exactly how much money I want to spend and then making a final decision. Travel to Peru is more expensive than I had imagine; most of the airfare, it seems, is fuel surcharges. If this trend continues, however, Peru might become even more expensive in the future. I'd like to make it down there while I can, to see Inti Raymi on June 24 and hit all the sites. Actually, I don't know too much about Inti Raymi. It seems that this chunk of time might work for me anyway, but I'd like to look into it a little more. Perhaps things will be cheaper if I wait until August or September?

There is much to write about, think about, understand at this point. I keep moving.

Like a good farmer, I'm going to go to bed on time. And, I swear, I am going to get up with the alarm tomorrow and have enough time for breakfast before going to an appointment with Sam.

Good night, all.
