Hmmm, no clothing left to rearrange. Damn. Tackled the bin o’ crap next to the dresser. Why do I have so much body powder when I don’t use it? Found a bottle of aspirin that expired in 1998. A bottle of Tylenol that expired in 2004. Curlers. Enough emery boards to start a salon. Went through all of it, tossed the crap and promptly put the keepers back in the bin. For those of you thinking, “Way to miss the point,” this is still about separating the wheat from the chaff.
Moved on to my side of the bed. Fortunately there wasn’t much to be done there, but lots of bits of stuffing from a stuffed animal my dog decided to gut.
Continued tossing through the end of the night. Friday came aroudn and I’ll admit my zeal for the project was fading, but that was more due to overall tiredness than anything.
Other side of the bed. Relocated two more suitcases (jesus, how many of these do I have?), a tote bag and reclaimed a laundry basket for it’s actual intended purpose and discovered that I could actually get to the bookshelf now.
But – I had cleared things up enough to VACUUM THE CARPETS!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll take my little victories wherever I can find them.
Then I did some dusting. And damn near choked on the dust.
But – the floors were clear. The clothes were organized. Very pretty, visible progress was happening.
Next up: The tops of the dressers… (Before pics after the jump.)
