In preparation to moving next month, I've been cleaning out closets. Please tell me this will make packing and moving easier because I really do not like cleaning closets.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ChiKat: cleaning your closets does make packing and moving easier: The more stuff you trash/donate the less you have to move!

Dog is my co-pilot.
Moving is good incentive for closet and drawer cleaning. Sometimes, there comes a time that it needs to be done even if you're not moving--like when you've been in your house 21 years and you're running out of space to store the books, CDs, and many other things you accumulate. I'm also cleaning and rearranging bookshelves and deciding which books to store and keep and which books to give away. Then I have to actually get them out of the house.
I'm also being forced to empty all knick-knacks and breakables from my living room and dining room in preparation for floor replacement. I'm finding all sorts of things that I thought had been missing for years.

ChiKat, it does really help, especially if you are ruthless in what you decide to get rid of.

I'm done with my dresser and my bedroom closet. Yay!! I still have 2 hall closets/junk pits to deal with. I started on my desk yesterday and got overwhelmed, so I figure I'll break it down to one bit at a time for the desk.
The good thing about living in a small apt is that I've been fairly good at keeping things cleaned/weeded otherwise I run out of space. But, I've been in this apt. for 9 years. That's some time to accumulate Stuff.
I know its a bit early since I won't be moving till the end of Sept, but my new job starts next week (eep!) and I want the bulk of it done before then.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I should be cleaning out closets. Actually, I should be finishing the job of cleaning them, which I started last week, and is now taking up most of the floor space in the bedroom. I want a nap. And 24 more hours in the day.

Mostly lurking...
I've had a busy day. Must get this quilt top done. I'm sick as a dog, but sew away, I do. I've got the inside done!

It needs a better iron job before I start the borders.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
But now I have coffee. And a doughnut. Hmm. Possibly not the breakfast of champions. Am still feeling oddly woozy.
I have the slept-too-much-oddly-woozy feeling, too.
Though I think it's also a too-much-sugar-woozy feeling. Damn you, Little Debbie!!!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Ugh, me too on the first. And the B&J Coffee Heath Bar Crunch I just pulled from the freezer should take care of the second.
