Still not quite through in the Nest, but I've made amazing progress. Today I was able to find a reasonable place for a big "trunk" full of photography lighting equipment. It had been under my drawing board, sticking out awkwardly and looking clunky and out of place. Now it looks as if it fits. All the photography equipment is now going to be easy to reach. For me, photographing my work is challenging, so the easier it is to set up, the better. 

The space for the photo lights opened up when I got rid of an artist taboret that I've had for 25 years or so. It was expensive when I bought it, and new ones are still expensive today. When I first started cleaning it out today, I noticed how little of the space I really use. I thought "oh, but I paid so much for it, so I have to keep it." Then I realized how absurd this was, when space is so precious to me now. I moved it out, which let me move some sets of drawers around, and presto: space! Space! Space!

Just standing in the room now feels so different. And I can even see the bird feeder outdoors now. I can breathe! Move my arms without hitting something! Wow!
