PROMISES MADE...

I might have mentioned 

this problem last year, 

or was it two years ago?  

Time has a way of slipping by, 

especially when it concerns something 

that is an uncomfortable task.

This is the library at the Cottage.

  It is a small room, as rooms go,

 but it can hold a lot of stuff! 

 The room itself has good bones. 

 One wall is taken up by 

an antique barber's cupboard, 

filled with books and family photos. 

 The room has good storage,

 a computer closet,

 a desk and a work table.  

With the addition of 

a comfortable reading chair, 

it has all the elements of

 a functioning library.  

However, at present, 

it functions more like 

the typical kitchen junk drawer.

Since it is a room that only has to be entered when one wants to, 
the door can be closed off

 from the rest of the house 

just as if it didn't exist.  
The only bad thing is that 

since the beginning,

 the room has been designated 

as "The Captain Quarters" 

and the man in question

 is not happy with 

the present circumstances!

In transitioning the rest of the Cottage,

 stuff would get "dropped off" 

in the library, 

 to be put away at a later date,

 but later has never come.  

Oh, yes,

 words have been exchanged

 and promises have been made,

 but so far nothing has been done.

Now that Christmas has been cleared 

from all the other rooms, 

and winter will be here for awhile, 

the time has come for change.

Jake and Jacenda gave me this

 pretty watercolor kit for Christmas 

and I am anxious to start it. 

 I think I have pushed my luck long enough 

and I wouldn't start it on

 the dining room table, 

if I know what is good for me, 

so the time has come 

for promises to be kept.

Wish me luck and long term success!  

May I get, and keep, on track! 

 I will keep you updated

 on any, and all, progress.

FYI:  If you looked back at my No. 1 post from last year, you would notice that the Covid-19 count was 13 new cases.  In today's paper (January 25, 2022) the count is 707 new cases. Just saying'.
