Productively Unproductive

Ever feel like you are unproductively productive? It's been one of those weeks here. Because I'm sure you love to read about my week, here's a little of what it looked like.

My office is finally done, which meant that the 6 days of having no office to accumulate paper work, books, music sheets, and furniture needed to be taken care of. And let me tell you it wasn't pretty. I didn't get my day off on Monday because I had Bible Study in Chandler, what I do usually once a month. So, I took Tuesday off instead and ended up not even doing half of what I wanted to do during that day. I spent the day Wednesday cleaning the house up and re-organizing my office because of that. Today, I had to spend a part of my afternoon at the hospital, and I need to go back tomorrow morning.

Enough to say, I haven't gotten much work done this week. But then I did get two Bible studies done. I now have an office I enjoy working in. I have all my pre-op stuff done and most likely an appointment for surgery very soon. I even started paying off my student loan. So, it really hasn't been that unproductive. It just didn't look like what it usually does.

To show this, I thought I would add a few pictures of my office now that it is pretty much done. I have a few things to add here and there. I have some apple boxes that I want to cover with fabric to keep some of my supplies in since I don't have any drawers. I want to finally develop some of our wedding pictures and hopefully frame them for one of the walls. I want to bring in some beach grass in some of my vases, etc... It should look nice by the time it's done. Even if it only gets done in the next few months.

And, by the way, I really wish I was a good photographer... but I never was good with those kind of artsy skills. So you can't really tell how nice the color actually is.

If I was rich I would have nice fancy guest chairs in dark brown leather with green pillows. I would also have a nice antique wood desk. But, I'm a pastor and I never know when the week where I won't be able to cash my pay will come. I'm not worried, I'd just rather not spend frivolous amounts of money for nothing. Which meant I also gave up on the nice light fixture I had chosen and instead decided to fix and clean the one that was there. I also dug up that little dresser thing from the basement of the church to add a touch of that antique feel I wanted. Anyway, here's what it looks like.

Don't forget what it looked like before:
