As I worked, using too much time sorting and reorganizing so that putting it all back in later will be easier, I began making mental lists. What I needed to buy, what I needed to build, how to make this space truly functional for the weeks ahead.
The apocalypse countdown was a specter that wasn't going anywhere... but whatever was coming, I intended to be ready for it as well as I can be. Which means placing things inside here… food most of all, but anything else I can think of.
Mismatched shelves were functional, but not a great choice. I needed something uniform, something that could be configured exactly how I wanted. Taking out the measuring tape I bought, I started getting a feel for the space in this world's numbers.
