Keeping up with my scheduled chores\/tasks\/projects has been pretty easy. Toward the end of last week I did some adjusting, mainly due to two things: I underestimated the amount of downtime I needed this weekend, and I also had to adjust to accommodate Cari\u2019s car issues, which I was able to fix on Saturday. I\u2019m back on track now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the office cupboard, there are a couple of small, cardboard boxes that contain a bunch of geeky keepsakes of mine. The majority of these are various fun things from old Loot Crate boxes, but I also have convention programs and lanyards, stickers, pins, toys, things friends made, Kickstarter rewards, comics, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve run out of space in the boxes and they\u2019re bulging. So, I decided I wanted to transfer everything into new, wooden boxes, which I\u2019m hoping will last forever. They\u2019re also quite a bit larger \u2013 almost twice the height each. I ordered them today, so that should be a fun task for this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of boxes and organizing items, I\u2019ve also had a bit of an overflow problem linked directly to the magazine subscriptions I mentioned the other day. Most of the magazines I read and then recycle, but one magazine (The MagPi) I want to hold onto as the issues are full of great projects that I may want to tackle one day. However, the pile that\u2019s accumulated in said cupboard is unsightly, hard to move around and stack things on, and feels a bit unsafe (those suckers might tip over at some point). So, I ordered some magazine file holders. If this proved to be a good solution, I want to extend the system to also hold the Eaglemoss DeLorean magazines I get every month so that I can ditch the terrible binders they give out for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This weekend, I caught up on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
