Why Be Normal?
Copied from my diary:
Just sorted DD's American Girl Doll Zone. Put the dolls in a large plastic box and some of the furnishings. The rest will be bagged until the original boxes are located n the loft some day. Tucked away on the right side of built in closet. Now, in the sloped open closet area I've moved the table we're using as her desk. It fits well. So, there is space for the keyboard in her room. This is one thing out of the craft room -- a tiny dent in decluttering -- but it's a start. DD wants to sort and part with toys. We'll be donating them to a shelter, child's home or the base thrift store.
The craft room was a guest room until I decided it was stupid to have a room wasted most of the time. So, I got rid of DS's loft bed and moved the double bed into his room (not a huge room -- but he has his bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, huge corner desk and two bookshelves -- with a little floor sauce to spare!
However, the room has become a dumping ground -- so, I need to sort, organized and probably move some of the stored stuff back out to the garage. Then, I need to go though what was dumped in the dining room when I organized DH's office/exercise room (small room). It is used for storage, too.
Just need to figure it out -- and stuff needs to go. When DS leaves, the double bed will go and the futon will go in his room which will be the upstairs television/guest room. Then the single bedroom which is currently the upstairs television/ironing/guest room -- will become storage/ ironing room. Five bedroom house and we still have too much stuff for it. The detached double car garage is full of stuff, too. Sigh.

tomorrow we have the surveyor coming in to verify the measurements for the new bedroom and Wednesday we have the electrician coming. He was supposed to come on Friday but the snow stopped that! Once that's all done we can get things a bit more tidy and settled here for the 3 weeks til the new furniture arrives. I will be pleased when it's all done
