unpacking

i got back from a long weekend in new york on tuesday. i felt very proud of myself for unpacking that afternoon. i normally let it ride out for a week or so. the same goes for my laundry. i hate folding my laundry when it's done. sorting it and putting it away is next to impossible. i can't wait to have a laundry room where i can store my finished laundry until i have the time or the energy to go through it all. and i think being able to do my laundry whenever would also be a plus. going outside of my apartment to do it is extra exhausting. funny: now that i think of it i have a similar problem with my groceries. by the time i get them back to my apartment, i no longer have the energy to put them away. i just want to sit on the couch and watch some mind-less tv to recharge. also i think children are good for these tasks. to assign them the finishing bits of tasks or chores. folding laundry and putting away the groceries.

my task of the day is to clean up my room. it's clean. but i just have stuff all over. i bought a few things that i don't know where to put them. i have a VERY small room, and space and storage is limited. i bought a new under-bed box, but i don't know what to put in it. and i bought a latern/flashlight thing for power outages. where does that go? and i still have to put my laundry away from a week ago. i smartly did my finances yesterday, but i still have papers all over my desk. uck...

the major problem is always where to start. i usually start by putting music on. something upbeat, that i like to sing along to. then i start anywhere. it usually doesn't matter where you start. all of it has to be done. though i know i won't start with the under-bed box. that'll be last.

onto the work...
