Woohoo!

You should see my room!! I am so thrilled. I still have a ton of stuff to sort through, but it's all in boxes, stacked beneath shelf space where nothing else would fit anyway. I think I can whittle away a box at a time and still use the room productively for other things in the meantime. As long as I guard it like it's Buckingham Palace and don't let myself or anyone else use it for a dumping ground, the worst of getting it useable again is over. When I'm using it regularly, I'll be more inclined to do the maintenance work to keep it in order.

I already have a nice recliner to put back there; my friend who does the garage sales had one given to her and she passed it on to me. Dh even bought me a massage pad for it last weekend. And I have a rolling stand for my laptop. All my writing books are back there already as well as files with my work. I'd like to have a submission center where I keep all the mailing supplies and mail scale, and I have a lot of work to do on the filing system in there so that I can find what I want when I want it. I'm feeling inspired. :)

My next big room project: Laundry room. My pantry in there has exploded. It's one of those things where you know you have more room than what is showing, because the space isn't being used efficiently. I also want to get the old school room table out of there to open up floor space and give me one less place to stack things. I'm bad about stacking. My dh will tell you....

I want to get everything ready to give people tours, and then work on the more "hidden" problems. Not that peaple are lining up to tour my house. But it's a nice feeling to know they could if they wanted. It's been too long since my house felt organized.

I am feeling better today. :)

I start walking on Monday, back to 30 minutes a day!!!
