I’ve actually been making progress on “the cleaning of my apartment” (note the singular) – particularly since I got my computer back and met my print deadline.

Some friends came by last night and expressed shock at actually being able to see my apartment for the first time.

I’ve started pulling out things I’m going to get rid of – books, videos, magazines, etc. – either by selling, giving away or junking.

There is still a lot of work remaining, but it actually seems feasible now. It’s definitely stretching out a lot longer than I had planned, but that’s always the way. My hope now is to have my apartment thoroughly cleaned up and out by the end of August.
