Day 2 - start off as I mean to go on.

Strange start really. I wrote my title and it was automatically translated into Urdu. Messed with the settings yesterday and that was the result.

Back to English, and I can start again.
Well - the pile is no longer! The pile is gone, divided, decimated, disappeared, into nothingness. Then this morning after being woken up by a wriggly 2 year old and a cuddly 4 year old, it was up, out of bed and onwards.

God this is going to take me forever, but I have to do it.

I have bad dreams of being in some documentary when I am 80. An elderly woman surrounded by rubbish. Full up to her neck and not able to move. I really do think that could be me, unless I can do something about it.

I like to say "Chaotic Desk - Organised Mind!" as an affirmation! It doesn't work anymore.

Funny this morning I noticed as I was emptying some plastic containers in the kitchen, that the longer you keep the stuff in the containers, the longer you do not look through, the greater the pleasure in throwing these old bits of paper away.

Now, the containers, or rather - the plastic drawer system.
I got it 4 years ago - because of the pile (paper mountain) that I dissembled yesterday. I thought that it would be better to organise the paper, and put it in drawers.

Well obviously I was wrong. SO the 'new' drawer system, is now empty, the paper mountain is empty, and I will use the drawers to put in the children's art things.

The kitchen is slowly being peeled and cleared - metamorphosing into the minimalist room of my dreams. Hah.

In my dreams it will always be. I am the woman who has clutter - 10 old accordians, 350 snowstorms, and many many other bits of what I like to see as magic filling the house.

I will dream the dream and continue on my quest. Wouldn't it be really amazing if I could beat this problem.
I will include some photos later on (when I feel braver) of the really bad spots.
I will include later on (when I feel the courage) why I might be like this.
Mostly I Will continue.........
