find a place for everything

I’m definitely closer. If nothing else, now I have a “finite” place. Life is good.

Then I can put everything in its place.

Should I hire a professional organizer to help?

This has taken on a whole new meaning now that I’m moving. Do I get a pod? The garage out back? A storage unit? I kind of like the garage idea, since it would be easily accessible (of course, my cousins pointed out that it would be easily accessible to folks interested in stealing my stuff), and I could keep the Elky there, too. However, the folks aren’t settling on the house until February 23, so the garage won’t be available when I have to be out by the fifth…Uck.

we were planning on putting a lot of things on an ikea shelving unit – but ordering it has proved to be a humongous hassle,so that idea has been scrapped. in the meantime, we are little and by little working our way through the back room. we bought a shelving thing for the kitchen, which helped, and i finished re-organizing the filing cabinets. now we need to decide what other furniture we want in the living room so we can a) have a place for knickknacks, books and other general living stuff out there and b) decide where and what to put on the walls.

A place for everything and everything in its place. Right now, the clutter is stifling.
