The things I do to trick myself into housekeeping

[rikibeth]

A co-worker of Christy's has offered us a large, heavy mahogany bookcase, for free.

I cannot resist an offer like that.

However, the only place in the house it will fit is in the Disaster Area Formerly Known As The Dining Room.

And there, only if I clear a pathway for it.

I;ve been using the 15-minutes-on, 15-minutes-off trick to work on the clutter. I've found a bin for Lego bits, a crate for Star Wars vehicles, and I've gone through three boxes of random stuff from my childhood house.

I also loaded up the 5-disc changer with guilty pleasures -- a 2-disc 80s compilation, the "Threesome" soundtrack, and greatest hits discs for both Steve Miller and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

It's working surprisingly well.

OoOOoo. I know the feeling (looks around her room) Ugh. How was FLUX? Will it be worth going in June? :) *hug* Can't wait to see you in May!

FLUX was odd this past week. Lots of '80s pop mixed in with the goth stuff, which was not BAD, but it made my brain sort of get whiplash. Still, dollar well drinks before 11 are an excellent reason for going, and going anywhere in a suitable posse is fun too.

I'll post a review of it soon. Meanwhile, there is a blank wall for the boockase and a clear path to it, and I've got to go to work!
