The house is getting cleaner by small increments

 

     I now have the organizing bug in my system.  My back porch is much improved.  Thank you Jackie for coming over and lending a helping hand.  My kitchen has more room since we hauled the bench out onto the much cleaner porch to give DH a place to sit when he comes in with muddy or snowy boots.

     It makes me want to tackle places like the back bedroom that has become a bit of a catch all for things that should be in the attic.  The attic is another place that needs clearing and organizing.  Then there’s the cellar—oh, Ick!  That’s one area I’d rather ignore, in fact I’d rather clean out the shed than work in the cellar.

     I don’t think the garbage men are pleased with me tonight I did put out quite a bit more than usual.  They’ll get over it.

     I do think that before I tackle another large project I need to clean my desk.  It does tend to gather papers, books, and computer doodads all the time.  Yes, it’s time to clear the clutter from my workspace.  Now if I could only get DH the pack rat to clear out some of his junk…

  1. I don’t use my desk and it’s a clutter nightmare!

  2. Well done on your progress. I know from experience that trying to reduce clutter with a pack rat around can be daunting.

    I dread the day we have to clean out his mother house he got his pack rat genes from her…

  3. You sound like me – since I got rid of the living room furniture I’m hell-bent on cleaning out the rest of the house – I’ve already tackled my home office/craft/crap room and it looks so much better. I fixed up the master bedroom and put EVERYTHING in its place finally and now the really big project awaits me — the piles of old paperwork and nonsense + extra clothing and furniture stockpiled in Devoted Spouse’s home office and his ten year old desktop computer that HAS to go….out the window! lol I think cleaning out is good for the soul.

    It’s definitely good for the soul.
