jon_chaisson | Cleaning Up and Thinning Down (Reply)

Continuing on the Spare Oom Closet Cleanup project, last week I emptied out the two wood storage boxes and sorted through the three big boxes that held my CDs and cassettes. The stuff in the wood boxes was mostly crap anyway so they went straight into recycling, trash, or donation. They now hold most all of my CDs in one and my cassettes in the other. There's two boxes of spillover: one containing my Beatles/solo CDs and the other containing my CD mixtapes. Eventually I'll squeeze those back into the closet at some point. All told, I have a rather large amount of CDs to trade in at Amoeba!

In other cleaning news, I've finally started attacking the moldy corners of the shower. It's mostly from caulk that's worn away or gotten damp over the years. I'm still not the best at it so there are some sketchy lumpy bits, but I'm actually kind of happy with the result anyway because a) I didn't get any on my clothes, and b) I managed to cover a few formerly ugly spots pretty well so I won't have to see them anymore. Yeah, I've never been that great in the home improvement department, even despite really enjoying watching all those shows back in the day, but I can at least learn how to do it myself, yeah?

As for the writing, I'm still plugging. I think I've figured out a few issues with both projects (finally!!!) so I can start going forward again. Also, I've finally finished the last Diwa & Kaffi revision, so thus starts the Shopping It Out part of it. Lots of good change coming soon, I hope!

Hope everyone has a good -- and MUCH less high-octane-action -- week!
