Jul. 8th, 2005 02:22 pmDeclaration of War Dishes:
House dishery is about to be washed. Waiting for hands to finish preparing for the battle.
Head count of Auction dishery has finished and are as follows:
Green dishery: Rural winter scene in forest green on white.
One (1) platter/larger plate that can't really be called a 'platter' but can't be called a plate.
Two (2) serving bowls/larger bowls that can't really be called serving bowls but can't actually be called soup (et cetera) bowls, either. One of these has been adopted and is currently being used as a wool washing/dying bowl.
Eight (8) plates with back markings as to their maker(s).
Eight (8) saucers.
Grey dishery: Gold leaf edges with grey backs, white fronts and grey/blue flower patterns. Very classy, nice enough. Too delicate for my tastes.
One (1) gravy boat. Has gold leaf numbering on the bottom (lot number, I suppose).
Seven (7) tea cups. Flower pattern is inside the cup. One has a chip along the rim.
Fourteen (14) saucers (!!) -- why they needed so many is beyond me. I know I used a saucer from this set for oil paints a while back ago (and that saucer was thrown away) but to have that many saucers to that many cups is just silly.
Wheat dishery: Gold leaf designs of wheat beards/stalks/heads on a cream-tone.
One (1) saucer.
Plain dishery: Heavy white, no ornamentation.
Four (4) saucers.
And all of these things were bought a long long time ago. From an estate auction. I fell in love with the green set when I bought them in a box lot, but never actually went through to see exactly what was what. Now I know... and so do you X)
...
I just realised something. When I'm working (I spent an hour cleaning and mentally categorizing these dishes, mind) I let go. Which means I'm at my mental-best when I'm doing something that uses both my mind and my hands (if not my body in general).
BUT I often get headaches if I'm doing something that uses mind and body when the thoughtings don't correlate with the motions, IE: cultivating a garden plot while collecting numerous verbose possibilities for an essay/long entry -- which is, of course, working and brooding on another topic. Bad bad thing that renders me both angry and overly exhausted. Because, when I brood, I go all over the place mentally. And when I work, I do it right the first time. Put those together... and that's a lot of energy.
I might blow up one day :O
