Today has been about making things look tidy in my bedroom.
I have two dressers. One is made out of wood and particle board and other is a plastic dresser I bought from walmart. Okay, I actually have three because I have two drawer dresser but I digress..
The plastic dresser had one drawer full of clothes that I needed to fold in the KonMari way since that's what I've been doing lately. I did that just now. I also took my broken Christmas Tree out to the front porch (I hope we have a big trash day this year so I can get rid of it).
I need to vacuum this room. I need to tidy my yarn shelves. I need to do a little more tidying of my closet.
Inbetween all these need to's and going to's and have done's... I've been crocheting.
I need to get to the dollar tree to buy some plastic vacuum bags for some of my blankets. I need to go to the thrift store and try to sell them a few things.
Right now though, I need to figure out what else I can do to / in this room to make me happy.
I'm also tidying the computer. I've deleted a few pictures I no longer need.

I try to do what I can. If it was up to me (but it isn't) I would rent a big ol' dumpster and get rid of SO many things that have been needlessly collected over the years. Not my junk though (and that's what it literally is - trash)

@CarolDM It's liberating and it's amazing just how many thing we can collect over the years.

Hope you rest well. It is only 4:37 PM here (It says you wrote this 29 minutes ago). I am going to have a salad for dinner and continue tidying.

@thelme55 Thank You. I usually turn my laptop off at dinner, but there is one more thing I want to post about here and so I will wait until after dinner.

I actually should get started on the dishes, but I've been putting them off. Told myself I'd give myself about an hour to work. Then I'll finish up the dishes before sitting down again.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Wow. You know, I forgot to run the dish washer. Man, I really must be having an off day.

@kaylachan Sorry you are having an off day. We tend to use a lot more silverware, bowls and coffee cups than saucers or plates. Means we either run the dishwasher too frequently or not frequently enough.

It took me awhile but I eventually got into a habit of not letting anything stay in the sink. I had a jar that I "set to soak" that stayed there for over a month.

I never did get to vacuum yesterday. A relative was asleep in the bedroom next to mine so I couldn't vacuum.

I turned on some music and tackled the drawer and the tree. Music keeps me motivated.

I started a task list yesterday and checked off what I have already completed. I need to do a few more things and add to it as well.

I'll be mylotting on and off all day to try to roll over to the next dollar amount. I just finished tidying up my yarn. I also finished crocheting a cover for another pillow and stitching them together. Doing two more and I'll be done with that.

@ScribbledAdNauseum my grandmother had terrible rhumatism, but crocheted nine full bedspreads, taking about a year each

I know it helps me when I get around to it. Helps me focus on other things and gets my mind of of other things.

Oh yeah, I'm not completely happy with everything in the room yet. Been working on this for months.

Tidying up, decluttering, etc. seems to be an endless chore.

@LindaOHio I love rearranging furniture too. I used to do that quite a bit when I was younger.
