Attack Of The Flat

Ok, I couldn't stand it any more. I moved into my tiny 182 square foot apartment in May of last year. There are boxes I still hadn't unpacked. Stuff was beginning to pile up everywhere and I had great difficulty finding anything.

Enough! I attacked my apartment and began throwing out stuff I didn't use and organizing things I'd need on a regular basis. There's still a lot of stuff but at least It's better sorted and neat. I managed o put common items inn the same location and nothing is piled up so I can get a glimpse of everything in a drawer/shelf.

I can actually see my computer desktop. I need to find a home for an older HP 952C inkjet printer. It just plain takes up too much space considering it's resolution is surpassed greatly by my newer Canon Pixma inkjet.

My 13.5 foot x 13.5 foot place is still tiny but it's neat now.

Yes indeed Mags. I had 5 days off this weekend and still have tomorrow off before returning to work. About 90 days left before retirement so a tidy place will make it less confining.

More time to go out and about on your bike instead of keeping your apartment tidy!

You bet I did. Going from a 2 bedroom apartment to a small studio is challenging.
