As I write this, RQS is coming up by train, and I won't have much time to write later. Right now, I am the proud resident of a mess. It's hard to get my place uncluttered without help. And even if I get it uncluttered, there is still so much to do. For example, I just had tile and wall work done in the bathroom due to water damage from the shower. What I didn't notice before is that due to shifting of the tub over the years, is that I've notices an area that needs re-caulking to prevent future issues from occurring. While I'm at it, there are some areas that need to be re-grouted. There goes one weekend day!
But it's not just one thing, it's the multitude of things that have fallen through the cracks and have to be taken care of. My TV in the living room will need to be replaced, and that forces me to ask a question: Do I want to get rid of an old entertainment center (which I like, and once cost a lot) to both have more wall space and allow me to buy a larger TV. This would make it possible for me to consider getting new carpet. But first, I'd have to purge a lot of things from this place. And then, it would need its first paint job in years.
Yet, it's the little things that bother me most, as I can't make enough headway in eliminating the little gatherings of clutter around the place. Each time I empty a basket of unsorted items, I have a new one to deal with. At least, I can say that I'm on top of my bills....
