Having Peace of Mind Before I Leave

This weekend I'm learning the importance of having a clean and organized apartment. I'm the kind of person who cannot think clearly or do things unless there is a plan of action, and somewhat organized. I've lived in my apartment for nearly 2 years and I have still yet to make it organized and sane. My room was like a dungeon, and since I had no closet, I turned our spare room into a dumping zone for anything that did not fit into my bedroom. I had furniture that I got from picking trash, nails were coming through my sheet rock so my super spackled over them and I never re-painted. I hated sleeping in my room.

This weekend, 5 days before I leave for India, I promised myself that I would paint my room, organize the 3rd room, and make my apartment a relaxing and organized oasis! I'm so excited because I'm actually DOING instead of mulling over the NOT DOING. I'm so fortunate to have my boyfriend lend me a helping hand with painting, driving me to run errands, and be a voice of encouragement when I was too overwhelmed to keep going. Because of his persistence and support, we can both be comfortable in my home. I'm so happy right now!!
