The monsters are organized into bins by alphabetical order.
Contrary to the lack of recent posts, Operation: Alexandria is progressing forward. Just not at the blazing pace it once had when we started in the Spring. Illness, vacation and housesitting have gotten in the way. Besides, the photographs of Somara’s end won’t look very different because most of her changes are in boxes. Mine? I’m 85 percent done and much of what I can do now depends upon her. Next week, Somara flies out to Florida for a brief vacation to see the Wicked Witch of the East (my sister-in-law) so this puts Week #24 into the toilet.
Still the progression is there and I wanted to show off a picture of something I did achieve earlier in the month yet forgot to post. I finally organized all my D&D miniatures, except for the ones on loan to the other DMs. I estimate having over 2000 of the damned things, most of them being boring/redundant creatures WOTC seems to randomly stick in those boxes at $15/piece; how many wolves or dire badgers do you really need versus gnolls, ogres or kobolds? It took some endurance and numerous Sundays on a timer. Now when a friend comes over needing to borrow some skeletons or whatnot, I can point him (I have yet to meet a female DM) to the bins.
Other goal posts? We can see the floor in Somara’s former office. I think she cleared a corner too. When the weather cools off, around October in Austin, we may be able to start tearing out the carpeting and take the class on laying down the bamboo flooring before the buying frenzy at Ikea to get those Billys Somara has her eye on. I also need to empty a bookshelf in our bedroom for a detour caused by my growing Chucks collection.
Don’t loose faith. Alexandria is a project we will finish. I have to give progress reports to my anxiety doctor and Somara loves books so a library will be a dream come true. We won’t allow ourselves to have a big-screen TV until this is done neither.
Looks impressive so far!! We just did something similar in our classroom with bins of toys. We finally have everything in bins of uniform size-which makes storing and stacking so much easier! Took us a solid week of sorting and washing and pitching things to get it the way we wanted! We also took pictures of the contents of each bin and have a picture on the bin and one on the shelf where it goes so that the preschool crowd can get everything back into the right place. I will let you know if we stay this organized as the year unfolds!!
