Drawers...open and shut
Jul. 3rd, 2006 05:05 pmI've emptied three out of four of the drawers from the bed. (My porn can stay where it is, thanks.) I dumped one of the dresser drawers, then retreated. The rest of them were too scary...I don't know how long it's been since I've opened some of them. I saw stuff I'd forgotten I owned, for crying out loud. And the bedroom isn't even the worst room! In fact, God help me, it's one of the better rooms as far as clutter goes. Or, at least, visible clutter. The "crap hidden in drawers and closets" situation is still moderately serious. Not terrible, but not good.
For instance, if I can get this damned bureau cleared out, it's going to the curb. I've had it for 20+ years, I've gotten my money's worth out of it, it's wobbly and the veneer is peeling and it's time to say good-bye. One I get it out of my room, I'll have enough wall space that I can drag my cedar chest out of the closet where it's been living for the last few years...also unopened and I'm genuinely clueless as to what's in there. I certainly have plenty of comforters and other winter-type bedding that ought to be stashed in there, but has instead been folded and stacked in corners because I couldn't get at said cedar chest.
( Cut because I ramble at length about this shit... )
