I woke up at 4:30 again today, and this time I wasn't able to get back to sleep. I don't know what's up with the early waking, but it's making me feel very out of it. I should really be glad to be able to wake up early for a change. So I've been up since about six. I'm getting started on a major apartment deep-cleaning. I've signed up for the fall cure at apartmenttherapy.com. At least it's a plan I think I can stick to, and will keep me plenty busy without necessarily spending money. Here are some "before" pics:

ya gots too much stuff, Kitty! Nobody could keep that much stuff in order.

Yep. I know. I am downsizing!

[this looks familiar]

i'm ... i'm speechless. are those bedroom drawers usually open? or were those arranged for the photo shoot?

Dresser drawers are often left open. I grew up in an environment where that kind of thing is so normal that I don't even see it. When I make a conscious effort to look, I will close them. I also leave cupboards standing open often. It's like I don't have the gene that makes me see those things, though I certainly intend to close drawers, etc.

would you believe mine is a bit worse? wait, you have entered the front door... you have seen mine!

fascinating.

Yes, I've seen yours, and I admit to feeling somewhat better about myself when I walked in! Actually, your place reminds me a lot of some of my relatives places - you're a collector and have tons of cool stuff, just maybe too much of it.

I am a collector too, but have a gene which causes me to collect and hoard, then hide it in an organized way. Like, I have tons of crap, but it's organized into bins. I'm moving this weekend and the thought of packing is painful. So I'm on Facebook instead. Guess what I use to pack stuff? Bins!

P.S. Cool to see another Tom's of Maine deodorant user, and the brown paper towels - some people don't realize they don't need to buy bleached paper products. Thanks for letting us peak into your life like this. I don't think I would be so brave.

Where's the new place?

Haha! Amen! I am purging little by little. I have three HUGE boxes of stuff to give away, and about 7 to sell. but it still looks really cluttered....

North of Northgate. I can't wait to live in a house again. However, the problem of taking stock of all of my stuff (including storage) is evident since the new house isn't huge, and I will be sharing it with another person...
