Decided to start at my door and work inwards today. First item is the pile of books to my right that I've been meaning to take to the local book store for several months now. Over those months it has grown so I had to pull out another grocery bag to put the excess. These with the box out of storage make it worth the trip. Next time, when the bag gets full, they go right away.
I've been picking away at the mess in my room all week. The pile in front of the tv is a third of its original size. Originally a three foot high pile that extended out four feet from the TV and was 6 feet across it is now only two feet out and in most spots only two feet tall. I can see at least six feet of floor and I no longer have to thread my way thru to my bed. It is really nice to have floor again.
Unfortunately the pile on the seat next to me on the couch is collecting clutter again. When I've finished the process of reducing my possessions to the point where I can use the work surfaces in my room, I'm not going to let this happen. Right now, my sofa is my only work space. I have fabric I'm sorting thru, my bag of in process quilting blocks, my workbasket of tools and some piles of in process projects on the back of the sofa. Of course, this is how that last person sized pile started. I guess I better make a point of clearing it off every couple of weeks.
I'm off to take the books back and do a few errands. Be back soon...
Back after all my errands. And no books unloaded. Thursday being the last day they take books, their quota was full. So the books will live in my car till next Tueday when I will take them first thing in the morning.
I did a bit of project shuffling. Moved all my balls of fabric yarn into one bag to take to Thursday night knitting group which freed up three project boxes. Took a couple of the projects off the back of the sofa and put them into the boxes and onto my project case. I'm getting hungry so I think I'll take a break to start dinner then I"m going to get up on the step ladder and start on the upper shelf of my closet. Got to get down the two boxes I promised to donate to a silent auction and get those into the car.
Oh and I cleaned out a bag of fabric kipple. Alot of it was stuffing for the dog bed project. Couldn't find the bed I was stuffing. It has gotten lost in the mess here, so I made another one and started stuffing it. It sure will be nice when I get to the point that stuff stops disappearing.
There, dinner is started. Split peas are cooking in my rice pot. Since the directions are almost the same as for cooking brown rice, I'm trying it out. When they finish cooking I'll add 1/2 a can of Italian style tomato chunks and call it a meal.
