I have now closed off my office so the cats cannot degrade it any further. Soon I will move on to cleaning it. Everything that's still in boxes gets thrown out. If I haven't used it for two years, I don't need it. I must do this, if only so I can A) start reading my friends list again -- it's amazing how much you miss people; and B) start making stuff again. I want to make a Chinese-red box. It'll have gold on it too, of course, but then everything I make has gold on it.
