Well, the answer seems to be 3. At least that's how many I found while trying to tidy up the basement earlier. Basement tidying is actually a low priority on my to-do list, but I cannot find the small electrical sander*, so might as well tidy up while trying to find it.

The plan is to find the sander, sand down stairs, stain, oil and paint them, which of course requires locating the sander. I could do it by hand, but that would takes ages.

I've realised that the Brain-Guilt Monkey conspiracy is for a large part fed by the unfinished, messy state of the house and garden. That, and of course the bead shop**, writing and art. The sheer amount of work has been daunting and limiting as in where to start? What to do? Since all my planning, lists and schedules haven't been terribly successful, I'm now going with a "I'm just going to do something and whatever I manage to do, I manage to do." - and since plodding on is one of the things I do best, it actually seems to be working in a sense that I do get more things done than before.

Of course Brain and Guilt Monkey are still having a ball, but I'll get them eventually.
