Yeah, so Week Five (office week) sort of got away from me there. Last week was busy and I was just sort of moping around a lot thanks to a yuck-o week at work. Just hellaciously boring stuff that left me totally unmotivated when I got home at night.
But since my office is already sort of in OK shape, I didn't miss out on much. And since it is in the living room, I had already started cleaning things and reorganizing and I am already a spastic filer so that wasn't an issue either. I just have a teeny pile of things to do and I am caught up. Oh, and a craft project that will require a trip to that fabric store that I'll really have to motivate myself to do so it can wait.
So onward to Week 6 where I am supposed to be concerned with the Bathroom. Luckily mine is small, so there's not much to work with, but unluckily it was/is FILTHY. I mean, we are talking I was probably inhaling some awful gross toxic mold with my morning shower until I bleached the hell out of it just now. Bad. But I am renewing my motivation to keep it clean, and I am always happier when it's clean.
As a matter of fact, I am currently taking a little PBR break to regain my senses after inhaling all the awful gross toxic bleach that I used to clean the aforementioned mold. But I used up the bottle which means one less toxic thing in my home and next time I'll get to break out the fancy Method stuff. Cheap thrills, I suppose!
The frustrating thing now is that I have to declutter the shelves and cabinets and baskets that hold my "bathroom stuff" (aka Junk!), and I REALLY want to get rid of the craptastic, falling apart, Target clearance etagere so I can put up some nice glass shelves. That hopefully won't fall down. Stupid plaster walls ruin everything, but I am still going to give it a try. Less storage space = less stuff to store and that's the name of the game now.
Other than that, I am trying to catch up on unfinished projects from other weeks. Such as giving away my give-aways, hanging the cool aluminum stuff I got for the dining room, getting a new trashcan in the kitchen, finishing up my new table/bookshelf next to the front door, framing about a bazillion things and hanging them up, and getting a couple more odds and ends at various stores.
Only problem is that I am now BROKE. Completely and totally. I got paid Friday and I am already not sure I will have enough for actual groceries for the next 9 days let alone enough to do any shopping. I don't know where it all goes, but it sure is depressing. To make matters worse (well, not true, I did it to make matters better in the long run), I cut up ALL of my credit cards except one that I decided is going to reside at my parent's house and therefore out of my hot little hands and out of use.
Basically all I can do now is compile wish lists and make plans and spend my time keeping things clean and organized. Not so much fun, but it does make a world of a difference. So now it's back to the bathroom and then I can cross something off my to-do list and add it to my "done" list. Yippee! :)
