I woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat and by afternoon, was harboring a case of something cruddy. I stayed home from work today, and while I’ve been desperate for a bit of concentrated time in the apartment, this is not the way I wanted to get it. I had NO energy and so all I could do was stare at all the messy piles and half done projects.
However, by around 2 p.m., I had to do something. So, I did what you see above. Yes, that’s right. I separated out my rubber bands, twist ties and clothespins (I use them to close bags and clip notes together) by color and size into their own jars (I’m not entirely sure how I came to possess so many rubber bands – I think some have to be leftover from my grandparents).
Happily, after a day of laying around, which brief organizational breaks, I’m feeling much better. The cold (at least, that’s what I think it is) seems to be leaving (although my right nostril is a faucet I can’t quite turn off) and I should be back to work tomorrow.
Ha! Whatever makes you feel better.
I can just see you with your jars, sorting and sniffling away…
Sorry you’re feeling gross. Hopefully it’ll pass quickly.
Wow. I’m not that productive even when I’m healthy! It looks so nice though – who knew rubber bands could turn into such eye candy?
Glass jars are magic. You made everyday things look like artwork! Well done – hope you feel better.
I’m so glad you guys like my sick-day “art” project. And thankfully, I’m finally starting to feel better.
