For the past month or so we’ve been doing some much needed updates to our family room in the basement. This included converting and old storage room into a spare bedroom and updating the colour of the walls and changing doors etc to bring up to date. This morning before I started back on this project I thought I’d get a couple hrs of work done (office) so I won’t have to be checking my computer during the day. As I sat down to work I noticed something that was common both in my office and down in the basement where all the work was being done. CLUTTER… you should see the state of my office, paper, pens, markers receipts. You name it and it was all on this small area I call a desk. Even 2 cups with old tea that probably a couple days old. The very same thing can be said for the areas I’m working in down in the basement. Tools, sheet rock, paint cans and brushes, pieces of 2 x 4, ends of electrical wires…a total mess.

I can be a neat freak at times (just ask my kids… especially Tehya), but I must admit… I’ve let myself down. So for the next 20 mins or so I’ll first concentrate on cleaning up so I can get some work done. I simply cannot function without order or in any sort of clutter.
