making progress

I decided to start working on the mess beside my bed tonight.

This is how it started:

It's not completely done, I still have to go through the baskets, but it's a lot better. In the pile were magazines as old as (yikes!) April 2006. I also threw away travel paperwork from December 2005, our summer beach house rental agreement from 2004, and programs from the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon from Labor Day -- 2007 and 2006!

Yes, there is a lot of dust and cat hair on the carpet. It's been a long time since a vacuum could reach these parts. That will happen soon!

Also under the mess? Some cozy slippers I forgot I had:

Tonight, I am thankful for the lunchtime yoga my office has been providing twice a week. While I was busy today, it was nice to take a break from it all and relax for a bit!
