Before, During and After

Note: This is literally the 3rd time I’ve tried to post this. First time we lost our WiFi connection. Second time I finished writing but when I submitted it I got logged out and now here I am...3rd time is a charm. Each version gets shorter and shorter. LOL
So...my trusty task lamp and magnifier of 20 years died about 3 weeks ago. New one, the improved LED version, was arriving today. This meant I needed to completely clear my desk, clean it, reorganize it and dump a lot of useless stuff, junking up my desk. It was totally covered in craft supplies and paper from my purging. What a mess. But now it’s terrific. The LED lamp is outstanding. It is so bright that I no longer need the Ott light that was on the other side of my work area. Now I just have a second light over my paper trimmer. Very pleased how it all came together but it literally took me all day to do it.
Before: The old task light and some of the clutter.
During: Cleared desk and the ink case got cleaned and reorganized. I added a monitor riser under one of them and it really changed things. Now to get a second one for the other case.
After: My clean, organized and useful desk...for awhile anyway.
