Well, it’s 6:00pm and I’ve finished cleaning my asylum, err, I meant, the computer room upstairs. It used to be the boy’s bedroom. For whatever reason, I needed the bed to be against the wall. So I thought and thought since last night and this morning measured the bed, which came out to be 80 some inches by 63 inches wide. Then I looked at the wall with the phone jack and calculated in my mind the distance it would take to stretch the cords from the computer workstation to an electrical outlet that won’t conflict with the main switch for turning on and off the light.
Voila! By pacing myself, I managed to vacuum off each section, starting with the cramped areas and ending with the more spacious area behind me. So instead of facing “west” and looking outside the window offering a scene of the blue westward hills, tall trees from the back yard, the birds and the warmth and brightness of the sunlight.
The bed is to my right so from time to time I could rest and read my .pdf files from my cellphone, which is much better than a reader and much lighter to hold in my hands. The bedside table is to my left and holds the new telephone and my rechargable batteries and recharging units. The larger furnitures (dresser with mirror and amoire) are behind me against the “north” wall.
By the looks of this place, it’s really more Feng Shui compliant. The bed itself no longer is reflected in the HEAVY, double glass mirrors of the closet. Access to the three widows and the light switch for the flood light of the backyard is much easier. Now I could open the blinds and windows much easier without tripping over the wires (phone, data center, ethernet and battery backup).
I’m glad to have “donated” items that are no longer used or needed. I plan on cleaning out the house some more, but since most of the “junk” located inside the house really belongs to the homeowner(s), I do NOT have free will to get of these “treasures”. I have more plastic bins and drawers to get rid of, if only I could let go of the contents!
