Yesterday included a lot of cleaning. It was time to take down the Christmas tree (A. had suggested keeping it up until Twelfth Night), and considering ours is a small three-foot fake tree, it took me more time to take down the decorations and pack them away than it did to fold the tree up and put it back under the bed!
And while I was on a cleaning roll, I cleaned up the back closet in Spare Oom a bit... I didn't throw that much stuff away so much as I rearranged a lot of things so it's much less of a comic strip punchline. That's where we keep the tub of Christmas decorations, along with nearly all of A's yarn and canning supplies, my CDs, and various empty boxes that we can use for mailing. Perhaps one of these days I'll do a bit more clearing out of that closet.
It's part of my long-term cleaning project in Spare Oom. I've been meaning to scan my longhand writing to pdfs for years, and it seems the only way I'm going to get around to doing it is to put it on my whiteboard... so that'll be a weekend process for me coming soon. This will also give me the chance to go through a few other documents and papers that have been sitting in various places around the room. Getting everything in one place (and also shredding the unneeded/unwanted items) will make things a lot easier in the future. Plus, that peace of mind that it's all safely digitized in case of earthquake/fire, right?
For today, however, we're in a quandary...do we go to Japantown for manga tankobon, lunch and bento dinners, or do we hang out at home and watch football? We're kind of leaning towards sticking at home and watching football, as the bleh weather is slowly rolling in, and I don't necessarily need to pick up the tankobon right now. Heh. That'll give me more time to work on the cleaning/scanning/writing stuff!
