Throw your cares away, save them for another day
Cleaning cleaning cleaning, that's what today was all about. I cleaned my room, and I cleaned most of the rest of the apartment. I brought a lot of stuff back with me to the EC from my numerous holiday destinations. From presents to winter clothes I had more than my tiny room can handle. But I went out and bought a new shelf/organizer type thing for the closet. This made me a bit angry, but worked out in the end.
Here's the story:
So, I went to Target, even though it's just as far away as Wal-Mart I refuse to go to Wal-Mart, as Bobby Boucher's momma would say, it's the devil. Well, once in Target I found this shelf very quickly and being the smart person I am I had measured my closet to make sure that whatever I got for it would fit inside my closet. So, I looked at the shelf, and it was perfect 47 1/2" long, my closet was nearly 48" but over 47 3/4" so I felt quite confident that it would fit. I picked up a new laundry sorter/basket thing and headed for the checkout. Upon arriving home I continued cleaning until I had it to the point that I could put my new purchases together and start on my journey into the realm of organization, a place I don't know very well. Well, the laundry thing went together fine, it's going to work out great. Then I put the shelf together, it went together fine, I didn't have a hammer, but I improvised. Then came the daunting task of getting it both into my room and into the closet. Upon getting it into my room it occurred to me that I'd have to take off the closet doors, I did that. Then I lined up the shelf and tried to push it into the closet, it wouldn't fit, not even close. I measured it and it measured a little over 47 3/4" almost the exact width of the inside of the closet, then I noticed the real problem. The heads of the screws stuck out about 1/8". Ugh. So, not only did they lie about the length of it, though it was only by 1/4", but I forgot about the screw heads. Well, I ended up standing it on end and eliminating half of my room that I have for hanging shirts and things, but it does look a LOT more organized. In fact, I did so well that I don't even have much of anything left in my dresser, one entire drawer is empty. I'm quite proud.
Is it just me or is the title of the post from a song or something, Fraggle Rock maybe?
Well, there you have it, that's my new post after my weeks away. I did write a rather lengthy post talking about Christmas and New Year's but when I clicked the spell checker on here it tried to open the spell checker window which Internet Explorer didn't like. It blocked the "pop-up", so when I clicked to unblock the pop-ups for this site it reloaded the page thus deleting my entire post. The frustration ensued and I refused to rewrite it at that time. So, rest assured, I didn't forget all of you on Christmas and New Year's, simply put, Microsoft hates you.
Have a nice summer!
