final frontier

(I have trouble spelling and typing the word frontier - weird).

The study/computer room/extra randomly shaped room is pretty much my space. Tim doesn't use it, since his computer sits on the dining room table. I barely use it, but I do use it, and when I do, I strew stuff all over it. On the desk right now are the usual computer things (speakers, router, modem), but also papers from old Scrabble games, the packaging from my zire, old tapes that I haven't listened to, more papers, jewelry, pens that have escaped the pen holder, and all kinds of other random. This is also illustrative of the floor around the computer. So, since I have a day off for Yom Kippur today, my plan is to make this room look presentable. This is the only room we haven't at least made an effort to clean lately, so hopefully it'll be inspiring to have the whole house vaguely clean all at once.

After I organize this room, it's off to change the closets from summer clothes to fall/winter! Yay!

Unfortunately, there are about 6 livejournal/knitjournal posts that I want to post, and I'm sure they, and other things (like eating) will make it take all day to get my house tasks done, but I guess that's what days off are for.
