gurdymonkeyDealing with the bomb site that is my living room. Scrub bathroom. Scrub kitchen. (Kitchen is not a bomb site with lovely new shelves. Bathroom is not a bomb site because it isn't big enough.)
Tomorrow's activities: dealing with the bomb site that is the garret.
(You see, I have a very bad habit of taking things out to go to events and then not putting them away....)
EDIT. There comes a point when one has to tell the voice in one's head that is wailing, "That stuff was $__ a yard!" that some of the scraps are just too small and too oddly shaped to salvage for monkey clothes, pouches or even hair ties. I filled an entire paper grocery sack with such scraps.
Living room is done except for dusting and vacuuming.
Kitchen is done.
Groceries and a new rag rug for the bathroom have been acquired. (Old, icky, beyond-all-redemption rubber backed mat is out on the landing for next trip down to trash.)
I think I shall save the bathroom for tomorrow and start dealing with the garret now. Hm.
EDIT 3:15 PM
Inroads have been made. Amazing what a difference simply PUTTING BOOKS BACK IN THE BOOKCASE made. It's that whole teaching online thing. I pull stuff out to answer a question and the next thing you know, there's a ziggurat of books next to my chair.... I even put my beloved dictionary away. And put all the paid bills into the paid bill box.
Despite its unsightliness, the craft table is staying up for now because I should actually have time to work on Mitsuhide's obi tomorrrow.
I'll hump the vacuum downstairs tomorrow. I'm done for today!

Date: 2008-03-29 09:35 pm (UTC)I managed to freecycle the bowls, and have a taker for my kitchen table that "needs a bit of work" - (or $80+ for new legs!).
brief thought
Date: 2008-03-31 05:39 am (UTC)my moms went through all her fabric last year, and ended up with a couple of garbage bags of random scraps. she called me, and my inner packrat wanted to scream "send them to me! i'll pay shipping! you could have gems and you don't even know it!" instead I gave her a suggestion that she did and turned out well.
she posted on craigslist (the free section) that she had these bags of scraps, and by the end of the afternoon another lovely woman showed up at her door to take them away to feed her own obsession.
i thought it was a neat way to recycle :)
