back into it

I've been reading lots of Apartment Therapy in the last few months, and one idea I really liked is a list of things you've done. The list of things I have yet to do is totally overwhelming, especially with my time so limited by work, so I'll start with what I did today, my first unscheduled day in what feels like months:

• slept for 13 hours
• completely stripped bed & washed sheets & duvet cover
• wiped down dresser and drawers
• put away everything that was on the floor of my bedroom
• moved several items up to storage
• swept porch and threw out/moved lingering items
• sorted through my entire giant clothes outbox. Marked 3/4 of it for goodwill, the other 1/4 is heading for the wash because it smells like box
  
• frogged several knitting projects that have been sitting around for months
• set up stereo in the living room
• took apart and thoroughly cleaned rotating fan, a task I've been putting off for two years

My room looked like this at the beginning of the day:

I ruthlessly decided to get rid of this huge pile of clothes:

I am about to finish three more loads of laundry, go get groceries, prime some lightswitch covers and my microwave cart, and paint the last remaining wall of my living room.

I'm finding this process very satisfying, but I cannot wait to have an apartment I'm proud of.
