A new perspective

Every so often, I feel like I need to get a new perspective of things.
Today was that day.
I have been living in this apartment for the last 6 months now. And when I first moved in, I was in a frenzy to try and arrange my furniture in. I was pleased with how it looked at the time.
But decided to change the furniture around in my living room today. This decision was actually inspired by wanting to find my usb cable to attach my Kobo to my computer. I have the regular Kobo, so I can't just download books directly onto it. I need the usb cord to do so.
But a couple months ago I realized it was missing.
My apartment is pretty small, so there's only so many places it can be, and I checked everywhere. Nothing. I'm going to guess that it's not even in my apartment anymore. I might have taken it to my Mom's with me when I went home for Christmas. Or maybe I left it at J's when I visited him a few months ago. I don't know. But it's clear to me now that it's not under anything in my living room.

Anyway, back to the rearranging of furniture thing. It looks great! I also wiped every surface of dust with lysol. Now the whole place smells lemony fresh. I also cleaned my bathroom, vacuumed and took out the garbage. I was definitely in domestic goddess mode. And it felt great!
I now have a fresh perspective of my apartment. Hopefully it will bring some good feng shui in this place, and inspire me to get through this next month of assignments, seminars, and big projects. It's going to be a busy home stretch month.
But I'm ready.

  1. I just need to ditch my kids and get a small place for just me. I am still trying to clear out as much crap that somehow managed to breed under cushions and mattresses, only to stuff up my closets, shelves and attic.

    I like space, clean lines and easy clean up, without tripping over things, but alas, hubby couldn't stop bringing stuff into the house and cramming the other stuff in every nook, cranny and crevice.
