This week’s sidequests included decluttering my work space, binge watching a favorite show, and taking a picture of something in my house from a new perspective.

Decluttering the work space aligned perfectly with a project I already had going where I was rearranging furniture in the rooms and reorganizing what goes into each closet space. The office was the last area of the house that I had to get to, where I had piled some of the remaining stuff to sort. (Technically I also need to organize the shelf in the garage, but eh… we won’t count that)

So I finally sat down and got most of the clutter spaced out. In this case, I did not think to take before or after pics, but it is much nicer. Except for the bookshelves. And the closet in the office. I mean, it’s close enough. The work areas are decluttered.

For the binge watching, I decided to start How I Met Your Mother all over again. I’m not sure that I would call it my favorite show of all time, but it is definitely up there, and one that I’ve re-watched a few separate times. So watching it again is no problem. I’m only halfway through the first season, so there’s quite a bit more to go.

Taking a picture of something in the house was a bit odd, because I’m not sure how many more perspectives I could do of random objects. I did notice something technically outside of the house, but that I thought would be nice to capture. I’ve been using a particular seed mix the past few years, and there’s a flower that grows from it that never seemed to open.

The other night I stepped out to throw something in the trash, and discovered that it blooms at night. Since I typically don’t take pictures of flowers at night, that seemed like a nice change, and a way to show the full beauty of the flower. Also, from what I’ve been able to research, it might be a form of tobacco?
