Calm After the Storm

I started the arduous task of cleaning out and re-arranging my room yesterday. I probably spent about 6 hours taking out everything from boxes and drawers and going through piles of stuff I've collected over the years. I still had an Ontario Place visitor guide from '94 during my visit to Toronto that summer. My room was a disaster last night- it looked like a tornado had whirled by. I could barely make my way through space without stepping on something. Today I spent another 5 hours chucking out hoardes of stuff and re-arranging the things I've kept in order to make more space for new things I'll accumulate :P Honestly, by the time I finished cleaning, I had over 25 pounds of recyclable material to get rid of (filling up a box and a bag), a bag of garbage, and 3 bags of things I didn't want to keep anymore but didn't have the heart to throw out. Looking around my room now, it looks so tidy and spacious. I LOVE the feeling after having cleaned for so long. Now I just have to finish vacuuming tomorrow morning before I head to work, and then move my computer up to my room once I get my new LCD mon.

Soon I need to head over to IKEA to look for a new bed frame and night table; the ones I currently have now are from when I was a kid, so they're all covered in stickers and scribbles LOL. This is the bed I'm eying from IKEA- it totally matches with my other furniture I bought from there. I adore that store.

All that cleaning has made me sleepless. I gotta wake up at 7am tomorrow. Yikes.
