Last day of 2010

This is a before picture taken Wed Dec 29, showing my sewing craft room.
It was even worse before this! I have a terrible habit of putting things in piles to be dealt with tomorrow!
I wonder if anyone else has this habit. I had to deal with it by the end of yesterday, as Leona is coming to stay in this room today, while she finds another place to live. Her 2 sons moved out recently, and they were helping to pay the exorbitant rent in an apartment nearby. A one bedroom in a clean apartment is $1200. It's unbelievable. The government removed the rules to limit rent increases, so now landlords can charge very high rents and they get away with it. When Robert and I were married in 1982, our rent for a one bedroom apartment including parking, balcony, and a storage locker was $375. I don't understand how young people can get ahead nowadays.

I did it! I tackled one pile at a time.
This is the only way I can clean up! I put things away where they belong, and some things I had to put in my room and the office. I will have a HUGE sale of some of my used items in 2011. I'll list them on Craigslist first, and then on eBay if they don't sell. Once a room is clean I feel so much better. At least now Leona will have somewhere to put her bed! Whew...

Wow! Way to tackle the piles. I'm one of those who puts things in piles to be dealt with later ... except later never comes.
