tIt seems like the mess gets worse just before it starts to get better....it's like I have to put everything out while I'm organizing.....started it one evening & put everything laid out on my bed.....but I didn't get it finished before I was exhausted but no bed to sleep on.

Slowly I'm getting walking areas in the rooms & things stacked in their organizational kinds. Found that having a huge trash bag to throw the junk stuff in really helps get it out of the way so I can focus on the important things......but it still gets messier right before it gets organized.

Then I find that I have overflowed some of the box area I originally had for things...specifically wrapping paper & gift bags. Now I have to find a new container to put those things in that will be the appropriate size.

I have to say that being sick & not going anywhere has really helped me focus on the house when I have a little energy, I put it into the house. I've made a dent in the kitchen, my bedroom, the computer room, & my laundry....not bad for being sick. I found that when I had to go somewhere, I would end up Not starting anything around the house because I know I will get so involved that I will end up being late for any appointment or get together......not going anywhere has really been a good thing....it's NICE TO FOCUS.
