Well, I had been doing well at updating regularly. Then the weekend hit, and besides Saturday night, I actually had time to relax on a weekend for the first time really since May. (Camp weekends off weren't exactly the most relaxing time, as laundry, socialness, drinking, and driving people who didn't have cars around took up most of my weekends.) It was just great to have a few days to really feel rejuvenated and enjoy having a space of my own to relax in. The couches that came with my apartment are awesooooome.
Even my boots are organized!
Now that it's Monday again, it's been time to get back into the routine. It was really easy last week to spend my mornings doing nothing after a few weeks of having no place to live, but I was determined this week to not let that happen again. I spent the morning cleaning and organizing my living room. (That's right, my $800 a month, everything included place, isn't just a studio. It actually has a living room and a separate bedroom! Sure, the bedroom is so small that the dresser is in the living room, but still. There is a door separating the two!) Since I moved in all of my clothes have basically been spread out everywhere. Piles of shoes, of hats, of sweatshirts, of papers. But now, everything has it's place. Well, everything except a small pile of clothes that I need to buy some more hangers for, and all of my coats. I'm on the hunt for a a free/cheap/really free coat rack! Somehow my collection of coats has surpassed what can fit nicely on the back of a chair.
When I came home from work today, it was so nice to walk into a space that was neat and tidy. People who know me know that it won't last long, and that I tend to live my live in what appears to be disorganized chaos, but I always like to at least start it off organized, so that way as it becomes messy to me at least it is still organized. So yay for a clean space!
Tomorrow's task... the kitchen.
A work in progress...
