Winning battles

Some days you can score a major personal victory just by taking out the trash. Egads but my apartment has gotten out of hand - and while I can make all the excuses about never being home and never having time, part of the truth is that I am apparently a little diffident about the cleanliness of my living arrangements. Ugh. Well, at least it is STUFF and not FILTH that's piling up (and no, V, mountains of plastic bags still count as STUFF - I promise I am trying to break that pack rat habit :). I do, however, need to purge the STUFF so it doesn't turn into FILTH. Ugh, again.

So...today I've spent some time cleaning and straightening things I haven't gotten around to in a while. I finally built the etagere for the bathroom (God bless extra storage space!) and I've taken out the trash. Now I think it is time for some lunch, and this afternoon I plan on going through my wardrobe for donations to Goodwill. If I can finally get all that squared away, I'll have a large part of the bedroom straightened up and then...more work to do.

One baby step at a time...
