Perpetual tech week cleared

I have almost completely restored my house from the chaos of the multi-mini-tech week state it has been in since we started filming for the socially distanced Hawking shows. When assembling all the props and costumes for the plays under normal circumstances, I have to pull out all the pieces from their various carefully-packed storage spaces in the lead up to dress rehearsals, and then for tech week. It takes up a ton of space in the house, keeping all that stuff accessible for use. And since I had to pack things up in stages, and didn't want to have to continually drag them in and out of storage, my living space has been crowded with properties for weeks now.

I really don't like clutter, so while it was the most efficient choice for the process, it was really starting to stress me out. But we're nearing the end of the filming schedule, with only five more actors left to capture. So I decided to take the time to pack up everything needed for those remaining and set it aside, and so everything else could go away. The prop boxes got repacked, the costumes for previous shoots lined up in the closet. I have everything still needed hung up on the clothing rack in my studio, or packed in bags just beneath it. My surfaces are empty, my floors are clear again.

I can't express how much lighter and clearer I feel with my space neat again. I actually think my brain works better. I think I need this, with how exhausting a process this has been.

But now all I want to do is lie in the middle of my clean room and stare at it.
