spacebugI slept in until well past noon today and other than feeling like it's cut into my weekend time a bit, it was fabulous. I finally have the time and inclination and energy to clean up the house. It's a pretty huge disaster. I've now completed one trance cd's worth of cleaning. I think this should just become a standard unit, because I like to listen to trance when I need to get things done or move around a lot. Kind of similar to the underworld song units we developed a few years ago and promptly forgot about, but not quite.
Had a good friday night celebrating with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
paraselenic and echoegami (hooray no more bead store for any of us!!) and then onto the unfortunately dead club night with s4 to meet star5,djnoise, earlapricot, r0ckc4ndy, and Oliver. I fell asleep/passed out snuggled up with one of rockcandy's puppydogs on a big beanbag, woke up enough to go home and repeated the procedure in bed.
I'm having the urge to purge old things and get new things and generally clean house. I think this is my post-burn feelings coming through stronger, and I want to act on them. I get so frustrated sharing a space that's too small for two people. I've been consciously avoiding my home because the clutter stresses me out and makes me feel unproductive. I feel like when I don't have room to make a mess I don't have room to be creative. It's basically the main reason I still find myself wanting my own space more and more and more- I want more complete control over my environment. I've never had that. I want to know that the dishes in the sink are MY problem. I want to know that if a bill's late it's MY responsibility. I want to know that if I'm not producing something I have no one to blame it on but myself. I don't want to think twice or consult someone else about what kind of furniture I want or where to put it. Just ... everything. I've never had that kind of control over my surroundings and I mainly want to see what kind of difference, if any, it makes in my creative output more than anything else. My backpack almost completely busted a strap at Burning Man. Somehow I don't want to fix it but something's keeping me from throwing it out, too. I want to throw a lot of crap away. I want a new house to go with my new job and new surroundings and a new beginning, but I'll have to work on the small stuff for now. I'm considering getting a book on reducing clutter and organization. Is that stupid? Does anyone have any recommendations for something like that, or are they all written by spacey feng shui people?

The library will have a whole section of books about reducing clutter and various kinds of organization. Buying them would be counterproductive, though.

I still haven’t unpacked the trailer from BM.
