Ugh...Weekend's almost over
I am officially exhausted.
I barely slept last night. I don't know why. Something woke me around midnight and I just couldn't sleep after that. I caught up on some fic, worked on some art. Nothing special.
Today I did a major spring clean and clear out of my room. And I do mean major. I filled six...no seven sacks with stuff I'm getting rid of. Mostly old video tapes that are just taking up space I need for other things. I chucked almost everything except my Sentinel tapes and a few favourites I don't have on DVD. Some old clothing that's too crappy for the charity shops. And some actual rubbish. Sis is going to take it up to the tip for me later. Plus I filled another sack with stuff that is suitable for the charity shops. The result? Well, my room doesn't look any cleaner but I do have more shelf space available at last.
The really disheartening thing is this isn't even a third of what needs doing. I've been trying to go through my crap a little at a time, each weekend. You wouldn't believe how much crap I have. Had. Have. Er...both.
What with that and a sleepless night, I'm now too knackered to do anything. Except I'm hungry so I've got to go cook. I've earned my meal, that's for sure.
Then I'm gonna put on something relaxing like Harry Potter and just do nothing for the rest of the day.

I have the very same problem but I have to pay to throw out any crap over 32 gallons a week. I have to pay a dollar a bag. It does not seem fair, when all I am doing is trying to clear a little space in my Pack Rat Burrow of Infamy : (
Crap!

Ooh, I love that phrase!
I'm better now. If I just do this in phases I can do it right. It's just a daunting job if I try to look at the whole thing. Next weekend I have to do the corner by the wardrobe: it's mostly old magazines and printouts of fanfic. All for the recycling, I think. I'm near-weeping at the thought of letting some of it go, but if I haven't read it in two years I've got to say I don't need it.
When I've done that I'll be able to take up the rug and give it a bloody good clean. That'll be satisfying.
