Okay, so I have this corner that is between the dining room and the den, where the fireplace separates the room..so it is an alcove that goes between the two rooms and runs between the wall and the fireplace. Anyway..it's about 5' by 5' maybe 4x5, but you get the picture. SO whenever we are picking up or need to get some clutter or something out of the way, we throw it there. It has bugged me for well over a year, yet that sick feeling I get about starting a project that I don't know where to put the stuff has prevented me from doing it. My mom has offered a bazillion times to help, but I cannot explain why I just haven't done it. ANyway, today I went to school only to find that it was closed because we had no power from the storm. SO I decided I was going to DO SOMETHING today that I could feel good about. SO I have cleaned out the corner..yes, I need to throw away the two plus bins of junk, and I need to go vacuum it, but I went through every box, bag, and basket! YEAHHHHHHH. You have no idea what it feels like. I mean if you are a clutterer you do, but if you are a neat freak, you just don't know the anxiety that encompasses a project like this. But yet, it wasn't painful at all once I started. SO I am feeling very proud of myself. Taking a tea break then going to go in and clean it all up! I have no car to go to the dumpster but I guarantee that crap will be out of my house this afternoon...never never to return. Ahhhh, like a weight has been lifted. I might even attempt something else today....like my insane bedroom.
