So very odd.

Most of the boxes, the ones which aren't being reserved or currently in use... mostly... have been broken down.  While I was stacking trash out I also took the flattened boxes to the hatch, and in.  All that work and... It looks just as clustered as it did before.  Lots of trash out, lots of this and that.  Oh... there are exactly six more boxes I can now tear down.  Quite a lot of work, to be honest.  Not heavy work, mostly.  

Laundry?  I think I'll skip.  I think I am done for the night.  Maybe those last boxes.  Perhaps a shower.  I am not even going to cook.  I just don't want to do much more.  No, I am not completely worn.  Nor, today, would I like to finish the job.  I have things to do this week, I am hoping to have some energy for tomorrow.  If I get my business tended tomorrow, or by Tuesday, then I would like to tear into laundry.  Dishes are up, so no problem there.  The kitchen is in slightly more disarray from tearing into the box corner.  I always find more than just boxes.  Some things to set up, some things to toss, mail to shred.

I just can't believe it really doesn't look any better.  That was a lot of boxes, packing material, and other mail and package detritus I took out.  I still haven't figured out what to do with the styrofoam, I doubt if it is recyclable.  I will check before I go watch a movie.  If it must be torn down and thrown, I think I have some room left in the garbage bin.  Even if I have to do it part by part, putting in some each week for the next few weeks I should be able to be rid of it fairly quickly.  I generally don't have enough trash per week to justify putting it out.

The living room, oddly, is looking much better than the kitchen.  It was mostly just empty boxes here and there.  What remains needs to be sorted.  Ugh.  I'll keep at it though.  The piles are shrinking, everywhere, then disappearing.  A bit at a time I really am catching up, even if it doesn't exactly seem like it.  Perhaps, even with cleaning, organizing, and straightening, it has to get worse (or appear so) before it can get better.  It is good to be working again, though.  Now to get back to fasting.  Might start tonight.  Later.
