Yesterday, I had an epiphany. I decided I was tired, down to the bottom of my soul, of the horrendous mess that I live in. Since a big chunk of it is books I don't have shelf-space for, I swung into action. I called a friend of mine to help me, and we put together some bookshelves I'd ordered from Walmart.
I'm not nearly to the bottom of the mess yet, but already, I'm seeing clear signs of progress.
