A Productive Day
Yes, it has indeed been productive. It may not look like it, as things are still a bit more strewn about and the dining table is infinitely more cluttered than when the day began, but we did actually get a lot accomplished.
The big tv from the in-laws that was in the back room waiting to be used is now in the living room, where it was always intended to go, on top of the bench, and the tv that was in the living room is now in the purple room on top of its stand, where it was intended to go.
Also, since we had to basically completely unload the entertainment center (which we have been using as a display area for stuff since none of our tvs will fit inside it), we went through it all and cleaned it out and off. Now, it's all back in order, decluttered, and with far less stuff on it than before.
Got a couple of boxes of trash to take out for all of our efforts. Also, just about all the currently known stuff that we intend to take to goodwill is now in the back of the Bat, so we can probably take care of that tomorrow at some point. Even MORE stuff out of the house. YAY!! *dances*
The christmas stuff box is put away into a closet, all my fig and model stuff has been put away in the dresser in the purple room (since the husband said I could have it for my crafty stuff, and I only sacrificed one drawer to keep sheets in for the futon that will be moving from the back room to the purple room once everything is ready), and we have room now in the back room to put the last box which will be a combination of stuff we are putting away for when we have kids and all my megablox dragon stuff. I'm going to see if I can get it all to fit in one, or at least mostly. Then it can go back where the big tv was, since we don't have a storage unit anymore. Which is fine, because we can't justify the cost, and we no longer have enough stuff to make it worth it.
I think our next "project" day will be the back room, specifically the area near the back door. It's gotten cluttered again, but with the tv gone and such, it should make a huge difference.
Then I'll probably work on the bookcase in the dining room again. It's getting more cluttered than I'd like, and I think I know where some of the stuff can be put on a more permanent basis. (Like the cards can go on the small bookcase we've dedicated to just that purpose here in the office.)
We are going to get the table tomorrow (wed) and the rest of the living room as well, I think. Then there's just a couple other small boxes in the purple room to go through, then it's just a matter of getting everything all nice and tidied up before the in-laws get here on the 21st. I'm HOPING to have my new bookshelf by then.
It's a nice open black and light oak unit that I am putting in the purple room for display pieces, just like the one in the office. That SHOULD get rid of the last big box in there, as I put stuff on display and go through and decide on some pieces to go to goodwill.
Soo.... overall, I'm in a good, happy place today. And I like that. It's a nice change of pace.
Later!
