Tidy Time

As I have some extra time available to me at the moment (especially so seeing as how I've been very lazy about looking for new employment), I've been cleaning. The first thought when I start a big clean is generally 'Man I got a lot of stuff.' The second thought is then 'Oh, forgot I had that.'

As I've been going, I've tried to be reasonable about things, scraping off a layer of items that perhaps I could live without and turn into gifts or money or something. I don't currently need to turn items into money; what I need to turn them into is more space.

Another nice thing about this is that I can change the piles a little. It's little how a store changes their layout on occasion in order for you to see different items. I rearranged my decreasingly sized pile of 'stuff to read' yesterday in an attempt to make some items that have been in the pile for awhile more obvious so that they'll get read. Once read, most of them move to the library room for longer term storage.

I can barely get in that room right now. Cleaning that out will be ... interesting.
