Camera's up
I got a camera today and took some illustrative snaps for you all (one). (I'm going to try doing this today while simultaneously listening to KBLO, which is distracting.) You're seeing where I'm at as far as neatness goes. (I've got to turn off the radio, I can't concentrate.)
As you can see, it's a mess. To be fair, I've purposely let it go to hell for greater contrast. I've put off cleaning up any until I got this camera. To be just, it's been worse.
OK. The plan. What are we dealing with? Clothes mostly. I know what to do with them. Receipts. Consolidate, organize by month, tabulate. Garbage. Throw it away, and for goodness' sake, take the bag out to the bin (it's starting to smell). What else? Well, let's do that (above), snap a picture, then come back and edit the post.
OK, done. It's a good start, but it took me too long. About three hours, to be more precise. During that time I also fooled around with Technorati (pardon me while I move detritus back to the end of the desk), watched television, and, for the benefit of shallow alchemy (loser's first commenter), I ate two peanut butter sandwiches. My eating them didn't benefit him, but my talking about it just might. Lately I've noticed that I put too much PB on my sandwiches, resulting in an unfortunately high PB/Br. These two were just about perfect.
Comment showed up fine on this end.
I was afraid some so-and-so would come up with this daily picture idea. It's good, as bits and pieces of bits and pieces are creeping back into "the picture." If I find a way to do that without cluttering up rl proper, I will.
