My "Have-Done" List

As opposed to a "To-Do" list.

Today, as Week 6 draws closer to an end, I have continued to feel overwhelmed but managed to work on all sorts of random things throughout the day with minimal time-wastage. However, as I look around my apartment I still see plenty of things that have been bugging me and have been on the list of things to do for the past six weeks.

So I decided that I needed to quickly write out my "Have-Done" list so I don't feel so bad and so that I have one more thing to motivate me to keep ticking things off the other list.

Stuff I "Have-Done" this Week:

1. Bought new switch plates for the whole apartment, and put them all up
2. Took down old clutter-magnet storage rack on closet door and put up ironing board holder
3. Sorted stuff from above-mentioned storage rack and threw away/gave away a bunch
   
4. Major crazy bathroom cleaning, hung new shower curtain, cleaned out medicine cabinet
   
5. Washed dinner dishes within 24 hours of using them (um, we tend to use a lot of dishes, this is a bigger deal that it may seem)
6. "Made" kitchen curtains from cute dishtowels, and hung them
7. Began hanging aluminum trays (eBay!) on dining room wall (ran out of hooks, getting more tonight)
8. Three loads of laundry, all put away (including new duvet!)
9. Made bed, put new duvet on comforter
10. Re-potted three houseplants (two of which had been sitting in the same dirt since I moved in here!)
11. Removed bedroom A/C unit (really motivated to do that, it was apparently dripping water into the walls and now I have some nice water stains to show for it! Dave is going to fix it eventually, though)
12. Cleaned A/C and took it down to storage, also rearranged storage and threw some crap away (Sidebar: Looking at some of the other storage units down there made me feel much better about the amount of crap I have - it's amazing how much a person can cram into an 8x8 cage!)
13. Washed and vacuumed my car (OK, not really for my apartment, but it's along the same lines
14. Braved Home Despot twice, found most of what I needed and picked out paint chips for bedroom (currently narrowed down to two light blue choices)
15. Organized bottom of hall closet (I think I can handle doing one shelf/day from now on...it's pretty craptastic
16. Came up with LOTS of plans for future work on the apartment in the absence of any real funds. Spent more than enough time online solidifying said plans, but I didn't let it get in the way of work - I actually had a really productive/non-painfully boring week.
17. At dinner (real dinner) at home twice, soon to be three times. Although I was a pouty brat last night so that doesn't entirely count I suppose.

OK, I think that's about it. Maybe more, but those are the things I remember best. Not too shabby! Hopefully tomorrow I can load up my car with Goodwill stuff (just the trunk though, cause they don't take donations on Sundays, I'll have to go later in the week). I think once I get most of this junk out of my living room I will be much happier!
