clean my living room

this is going to be slow, but I did go through one end table, pull out the old xbox controllers I need to get rid of, and clean it up a bit.

It’s time to go through everything and decide what to get rid of.

I had no choice but to clean the living room, as I’d bought a new elliptical trainer and that was where it was destined to go. I shifted nearly everything out of the room, swapped the bookshelves and media shelves to opposite sides of the room (tedium, thy name is “moving stack after stack of CDs and books”), and shoved the rest into the corner to make room for the trainer to be delivered and assembled. Which it was, hooray! After the delivery guy left, it was time to restore everything to normalcy—including getting all the living room crap I’d relocated into my (previously spotless!) office out of the way, and getting the other crap I put in the kitchen out of the way as well.

After pretty much 48 hours straight messing around with the living room, I believe it’s mostly finished. I need to run an extension cord for my a/c unit and set it up in the window, but I’m holding off on that until it gets warm(er) enough out to justify that. I shifted some stuff out of the living room into a storage closet, and I’m getting rid of some more stuff. So, a/c unit and boxes of to-be-donated stuff notwithstanding, I have a pretty clean living room. Yay. :)

Done! Finally!

I straightened up the hamster and photo shelf this morning.

I have tomorrow off from work so I can hopefully finish off the living room. I really only have the hamster and photo shelves to go.

That and straightening up a bit.

I finished the filing, straightened up the cabinet, and went through the built in drawers.

I’ve finished 1.5 walls of the living room. That means that there was room to bring down my daughter’s cosleeper so there’s someplace safe for her to sleep downstairs.
