Despite having done three loads of laundry and a lot of household paperwork, I am feeling frustrated with where I am on household organizing. Much of that frustration comes from still not being able to find things. I did, finally, find my belts. Now I am looking for the backgammon set and the Scrabble set. Not that I actually have any plans to play either game, since I don't have anybody worthy competitors around. But I put the rest of the board games away and I can't imagine where these have gotten to.
A bigger source of despair was a trip to my storage place. It reminded me that I still have all these other books and magazines (and, yes, more crafts supplies). I brought a couple of boxes home. But the goal was to use the storage space for just a few months. And I don't see how I am going to clear up space for all this stuff.
I suppose this is the point where I realize that unpacking has actually finished and I am back to the on-going decluttering of my life. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.
