clean up the office

Mostly because my husband wants to put in a new safe, so this has turned into a priority instead of way down on the list. I bought two storage boxes, and my husband just stuffed them full with the sewing stuff on the floor. So, the floor is now cleaned up. And I personally threw away a grocery sack full of garbage, so I think that counts as a 27-fling boogie.

Today, I want to tackle the desk surface—mostly because I need to find my check book. So, there will probably be another 27-fling boogie today. The Storage Boxes Loom. But, the office is looking really good.

I also hemmed another pair of pants (and three pants for my daughter, so that means pants that didn’t get added to the clutter). I think there’s one more pair of pants that need to be hemmed in there, but I don’t know if I can get around to it this week or not.

I did a major portion of this today by cleaning off my desk. I really need another bookshelf for the office. A better desk would help, as well, because my current desk has only shelves and no drawers; drawers are a key to organization!

I still want to go through the office closet to organize it, rifle through old papers, throw out records that are older than a year, and get rid of old magazines by cutting out what I like and recycling the rest.

I got the footies made a few weeks ago, and I have been working on finishing various sewing projects—hemming up pants, etc. I just don’t go into that room, so it looms in my imagination. I need to force myself to go and clean for five minutes everyday.

It’s so hard to know where to begin.

I don’t know why I can’t seem to make a start on this, either. Right now, I’m cleaning up the upstairs hallway, instead. Oh well, at least something is getting done.

Sheesh, just read my last, threatening entry. Less than 6 weeks to get it done, looks like. I should make it a priority. Everyone can see in there from the kitchen, and it’s got to be hard for my husband, who shares the office.

The office is going to be cleared of clutter by December 1. So, if I don’t get started with the sewing projects and the 27 fling boogies, I’m going to be stuck throwing everything out.

Tough Love, my future self! Hope it works!!

Why can’t I do this??? It should be an easy thing to do - simple 27 boogie, and I really need those footies. (: Maybe I should do it BEFORE I get on the computer in the evening. OK, really will do this mini-goal before tomorrow 9 p.m. OK, maybe 10 p.m.

But the home office is the area that hasn’t seen any effort put into it for the longest time. (Well, that and the bedroom.) And I’ve got guests coming the end of September!

OK, so my little goal is to 27-fling-boogie the office this weekend. And finish a sewing project (footies) that is cluttering up the office.

Yes. I will do this.
