Thanks everyone! I feel like I have my own personal cheering squad. Let's hope I don't lose the momentum too quickly.
Nikki, the path image made me laugh cuz that is how it has been here.
Dinah--storage is an issue, but I haven't figured out yet how to solve it. I think I have enough closet space altogether in this apt. but not laid out the way I need it. Also, the bedroom closet is deep--two layers of hanging clothes--but rather narrow--ie, poor access. That makes it doubly hard to hang things back up again! I was thinking yesterday, that someday, when I have some $ to renovate a bit, I will knock down part of the wall, to gain access to the closet from the smaller bedroom, then knock down the wall between the two closets, to combine for a big deep and WIDE closet.
In the shorter term, I need to buy another dresser or something. But even that is money needed elsewhere first, like for replacing the heating/cooling system that's on its last legs, or to buy a sofa so there is somewhere to sit in my livingroom. Money needed elsewhere and I haven't even met it yet!
Oh well. Another thing I could do is go through my stuff and throw away some of the junk, like all the "grungewear" I wear around the house and to sleep in, that is stained, torn, etc. See? If I start spending less time in my reclusive mode, I will need less grungewear. And, if I get my washing maching fixed, laundry won't be such a big deal, so I won't need like a year's supply of socks and undies (I do have a lot of those because of how much I hated doing laundry when I didn't have my own machine).
And yes, Dinah, I should just get some cheap storage bins in the meantime. And now that I can see some sense of structure in the bedroom, this is a good time to do that. Before, it was just too overwhelming.
So, thanks, all: Tabitha, Dinah, Coral (my inspiration), Nikki, Beardy, Tina!
