Clearing up the Living room clutter

After weeks of just staring in disgust around me in the living room, finally, Finally, I cleaned it up.I have to clear it right at the beginning that i am not one of those filthy slobby people at all.But time and again, either my kitchen or the bedroom or the living room sure ends up with things all over the place.I like spic and span places,not that i am a neat freak, but i do like things placed neatly so that i don't feel like throwing up each time i have a look at my home.
So yeah, for one, i don't have enough storage space in my home in the form of shelves.I never puchased any solid furniture since when i first moved in, I was gonna stay only for a year in that city...hmmmm. I just wanted to limit my heavy furniture purchase to nada, just so that i can avoid the sentimental blues that accompany parting with something i have used at home.I am stupidly sentimental about stuff.
Anyways, suddenly ,coffee mugs get left behind , then a plate with the last smears of hummus that i just polished off gets left out sitting there on the table and then the hummus dries out on the plate, while i have moved on to more adventurous things like tortilla chips with salsa or pototo fritters..Hmmmm.so then, i gather up the week's newspapers and then read them all on one fine day of idleness..then ofcourse, sometimes i leave that pile of newspapers right there on the floor..Then ofcourse , suddenly the impulse to paint occurs to me..Then i do a bit of oil paints and when i am done, I pack everything back up except the canvas or sketchbook just to let the paint dry up before i can close the book..Needless to say, the brushes are also left to dry..yeah..we end up with paint book and brushes lying around too which i conveniently forget to pack up once the paint dries..Coz ofcourse i have moved on to other things like knitting the rest of my scarf..I finish up the scarf but leave behind the bag of wool balls lying around near the couch.Then ofcourse suddenly i have the craving for popcorn...after eating most of the popcorn, the unpopped corn grits still lay there at the bottom of the bowl and yeah , the bowl is precariously placed beside the TV and quietly forgotten.
All this comes to a halt when too many things are precariously placed here and there and i have to limit my walking space and ofcourse, a few favorite ceramic bowls that had been sitting on an edge then fall down and break..LOL
Finally, i cleaned it all up,,Infact, i figured that putting away even the meagre sidetables and stuff is what is going to save my soul..I cleared up everything..Now i have enough visible floor space so that i can dance around(but sadly i can't go beserk with the dancing coz i live on the topmost (top most but one) apartment of the highrise and the people downstairs don't even want to hear my footsteps.Ofcourse, now i have enough floor space to do my morning stretch exercises..
Yay, with my cleaning up,, It almost looks like there is so much space available now on the surface of earth..it feels great !
BTW,,If you thought i was a teenager, i have to mention that i was a teenager ten years ago ...poor me..I still have a teenager hangover.
