Had an organizing fit yesterday and condensed three boxes full of paper clutter down to half a box. Dog toys are collected into a box and not spread out over the whole house. Dog is a bit disconcerted...but he had fun poking in the box last night. Old home-made printer stand that was built for dot matrix printer with the connected paper has been repurposed into a bookcase and placed in the open space created by getting rid of the boxes filled with paper clutter and reorganizing the rest of the pile o' stuff in the middle of the floor. Books too tall for the shelves of the other bookcases have been removed from the top of the bookcase and put on the new shelf. Also put a wooden crate on the top of the new shelf and put my cook books and home repair books in it. Put a reading lamp on the top of the bookcase where the pile of books was and that space now looks really nice. Just need to take care of a couple more boxes and that pile in the middle of the floor will be gone. Then I can start on the pile in the corner.
