I have more floor space!

My captain's bed had been getting wobblye, so I decided to move it a few weeks ago. Instead of sticking out into the middle of the room, it's now along one of the walls. Unfortunately, I lost use of one of my shelving units in the process; I'll be moving the disassembled parts out into the garange sometime later today (it's cold out there!) unless we can think of another place to put it. Granted, I do have another place I could put it, but it's just that little bit too big for said area, so it's not going to work out. Because of the rearrangement of everything, I have a lot more floor space, so I'm probably going to be moving the PS2 back into my room; we're not really using it where it is right now anyway. The down side is that in order to do this, I'll definitely have to get a move on on getting all the random papers in my room taken care of, so that's what's on my agenda for today. Would I rather be working on custom ponies? Definitely! But it has to be done. If for no other rason than Squeak keeps trying to climb one of the stacks and I'm worried about him getting hurt. Besides, it's on my to-do list for the year anyway, and that's one item I can definitely see me putting off way too long - that's what I did last year. *^^* So, if I really want to stop being a slob, I get it done, and now's a good time to do it. :)

Yay Laundry!

That's 6 baskets down, three to go! :D Not counting the big basket of socks and the leaning tower of ironing. ^__^; I've been avoiding the ironing, honestly. Not only because I don't particularly like doing it, but becuase it's, well, boring. I know, I know - "why don't you put on a movie to watch while doing the ironing?" I could, but it won't do me any good. The TV we have is the kind that we have to have a little black box for digital tv, and there's a subsidiary box we have hooked up so we can get input from the DVD player, but the sound isn't working through it. Which is to say, there's no volume from the DVD player. Or the PS2, so I know it's not the player itself. And when we went to various stores to get a new one, we got a ton of "what are you talking about? It does what? Huh?" from clerks, so I don't think it's going to be fixed anyh time soon. I've been considering trying to iron 10 pieces when I get up and 10 pieces before I go to bed, and see how far that takes us. Especially since after ironing 50 pieces at a time, even with a movie going to listen to, you lose interest in ironing clothing pretty fast. And, I'm pretty certain that with three people's worth of ironing in that basket there's well over 100 garments in there. So, yeah - try ironing a few pieces a day, and we'll see where that takes us. In the meantime, I'm taking a brief break from sorting all the ponies to clean up the bedroom. I still have stacks of paper and magazines to deal with, and want them gone. Some of them are valuable though, so I get to sort thoruhg them. First however, I get to pick up the ones that have fallen onto the floor from when Mr Squeak decided to jump onto the table. XD I have to admit, I'm torn. I have the choice of sorting and scanning the papers now, or waiting until after I re-os my computer. And I don't know how long the re-OSing will take. 9.9 Joy?
