Sometimes you just need more space to maneuver. After Christie moved to Georgia this past week, I had a room in which to move stuff into to, where it is cool, be able to sort, toss and tag for the garage sale. It's liberating to get the stuff moved to a different location so you can see what you have and don't need. We have a lot of stuff to get rid of so, we are eating the elephant one bite at a time. Sure takes a long time to chew though because it's so tough (to let go).
The living room is starting to take shape, Dave and I should be able to finished it this week. All of Christie's exercise equipment that she did not take will be moved to the spare room, the Guitar Hero band set will move to there as well. I have a Baldwin Acrosonic piano for sale if you know anyone who wants to buy a piano. Time to get rid of it since I don't play it, I sing, that is my instrument.
We have some serious catch all places that I'm determined will not remain that way. You know those shoe storage panels that hang on the backs of doors that have all the pockets on them. Yep those things. I'm putting one on the back of the entry closet to hold the sunscreen, Aloe Vera gel, dog chains, leashes, bug spray, Lysol spray and all the other stuff that gravitates to the door. I'm also going to put one on our linen closet door to hold medicines, band aids, tea candles and other things that take up surface space. I figure it will be easier to locate stuff that way instead of trying to dig through a dark closet.
After the living room I am going to tackle my office space. It's needing some serious help. For too long everyone has been putting their junk in my room and that's going to end this week. I have come up with a catch phrase, "Clutter in the room is clutter in the mind, DE-CLUTTER and it will set you free".
878 days and counting.
See you out there...
"THE COUNTDOWN" This is a blog detailing our getting ready to go on the road. Although it will be awhile before we get there I hope to detail what it takes to achieve that.
