Kicking My A%@(#$*()Q#@

That's what these last two weeks have done. I can't believe we are only 24 days into the new year and already I am....tired.

Well, carry on. Suck it up. That's my advice to myself. Along with "this too shall pass".

So.

Me-0, Magazines-1

The piles are no smaller. I did divest a large unsorted tear pile that I started sometime in mid-December and got that straightened out finally. Now I just need to re-focus and really kick ass on the piles of whole mags. Since my recycle bin filling of early January, I haven't done much.

I could blame work or something, but I'm not really sure what it was/is. Just have to plug away and try to shift momentum back in my favor.

Year End Wrapup

Just a few days late! Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with all I accomplished on this project in 2007. I didn't really get started on it until June, and I have made some great headway into clearing the clutter, once and for all! So much so that it took me 8 trips yesterday to take stacks of magazines out to the recycle bin!

I've even started to extend my decluttering to other parts of the house - I have two boxes going in the kitchen and did a 27-fling in there last night. Actually have more than 27 things already and it was just a rudimentary once-over. Today I want to get some storage for the miscellaneous spices and things so I can organize them better and gain some space in the lower cabinet. That will help in finding homes for all the "crap" that sits on top of the shelving.

If only everything were falling into place so nicely. Humph. I'll just keep on with the forward momentum and see where it takes me. Here's to '08!
