My Intention (During Edit)

Because I’ve been meaning to clean my room but have failed miserably to do so as of yet, I figured I’d follow Caitriona, mrowsera and _Smallville_ in the posting of before and after photos to help inspire me to clean my damn room. It’s not like I’ve got a lot of space to deal with, so I should keep it as clean as possible so I can pretend it’s bigger.

You can see the whole set on my flickr account. Visiting the flickr pages would be beneficial because there are notes. And image notes are the coolest thing ever. Still.

Also, the whole bettering myself: health thing isn’t working too well at the moment as I’ve gained 5 pounds or so in the past few weeks. Boo. I’ve decided to go back to the door to door organics box for the majority of the food I intend to consume. It should go hand in hand with bentos, so we’ll see how that goes. I signed up for a local bitty box on a weekly basis. I’m excited to get that started again.

And now I’ve got to head out (without having the chance to clean – boo) because I’m crazy and even when I request a day off from work, I fill it with other obligations. Stupid. My obligation today is driving all the way down to my mom’s and helping with rearranging storage. Though evidently my help is also requested to help Hannah move in. To my mom’s. She’s a younger co-worker of my mom’s and her dad kicked her out I guess. So it’s totally cool that my mom’s doing that, but I’ll be honest, it makes me a little bitter. But whatever, I’ll leave as soon as possible so that I can spend most of my evening cleaning my room and doing whatever I want to do. We’ll see how that goes.

When I clean, I pile. It’s like a really complicated game of tower of hanoi or something. I end up taking various breaks from the heavy lifting work to sort through crap (which is part of my biggest problem – not having a workable organizational system). Or just taking a break, period.

These pictures were taken with my iSight, so Kyle (and perhaps some others) will have noticed that my computer and desk are now in a different area. We’ll see how this works. So far so good and it feels like I’ve got more room here too. Though that could be due to the fact that all the junk that was piled on top of my desk is piled elsewhere at the moment.

I think I’m going to organize my altered book stuff and then put my sewing crap under my bed and go to sleep. That should take care of a lot of it so that I’ll just have the clothes/closet area and under the window area to deal with tomorrow night. Hopefully I’ll be able to post pictures of my completed, awesomely clean room tomorrow. We’ll see, though.
