Today I decided that unpacking and decluttering is not going as fast as I would like. I feel like a good solution for me that might help would be to go to the store tomorrow morning and buy some some extra folding tables. Why? I think putting some tables out in my living room where I can just empty boxes and put things out on the tables would get boxes emptied faster. I would be able to set things out in a sort of “yard sale” fashion on the tables where I could see everything, and from there be able to see more clearly what needs to go, and what needs to stay.

I might not get everything put away faster that I’m keeping, but the tables would provide me with more surface space to work with. Yes of course I could just put things on the floor, but I don’t want to do that. These extra tables could also be used going forward for periodic home inventories, craft projects, makeshift desks if needed, and various other uses I’m sure having portables would be handy for.

So first thing tomorrow morning, I’m going to go (I think) buy some 6 feet long folding tables (2 possibly 3). I could however change my mind and not get them, just for the purpose of saving the money for other things, and just carry on the way I am now with unpacking and uncluttering. There is also the fact that buying more tables is not exactly decluttering. I just feel like I’m not progressing with this part of the moving process fast enough.

Maybe this doesn’t have to be a fast process?

I was hoping I would receive some deliveries today. I’m expecting 2 area rugs and a dining set. Maybe I’ll get everything tomorrow.

Today has been a good day. I didn’t get any sleep at all, but I had a great time chillin’ out at my apartment, and unpacking. I also had breakfast at Jack’s. I intended to have my breakfast as take out at my apartment, but they served it as dine-in, and I didn’t argue it. There weren’t many people in the place, so I didn’t mind eating there.

I started an apartment management list for myself today. It should help me to get things organized I hope.

Today has been a good day. I got mail picked up at the post office, bought some groceries, and got quite a bit of unpacking done. I stayed up later than I should have, and I will suffer for it at the facility tonight, but I feel I accomplished something today, and that is great.

I’ve finally gotten around to putting my books up on the shelfs, and I can see more floor space in my living room. Things are finding their places, and in regards to posessions, I’m starting to see my life again as I’ve collected it. I hope that makes sense.

I own a lot of things. I don’t like that honestly at this time in my life, especially with a smaller living space, and I plan to declutter, but it’s comforting to see things finding their place, and I know where things are again. The apartment is coming together somewhat, and I hope in a month time from now, I’ll have it looking nice.

I gotta go for now. I’ll get back to the blog later.
