My Trouble Area

No, today we are not going to talk about my mid-section. Even though that is a trouble area for me. We are, instead, going to talk about the trouble area in my house. Well, one of them.

Everyone has that area in the house that no matter what you do, it just stays a mess. I am almost embarrassed to show you mine. Be forewarned, it is bad.

As you see, the area next to my sink is the catch all for ALL my mail. I hate mail, all of it. Usually, I glance at it and then toss it into the pile. That pile there has not been touched, except to add things to it, since before Christmas. That pile scares me. Does it scare you the same way? It might be worse if I should you the close up.

What do you think now? Yeah, thought so. You are scared for me.

Yesterday, I told you about a filing cabinet that I ordered and had almost finished putting together.  X-man ended up being sick today, so not only was I able to finish the cabinet, but i was also able to attack this frightful mess. Now, before you start wondering, X-man was in a mood where he did not want to get off the couch, at all. So, I was not ignoring him all day to tend to this, but rather just letting him chill and try to get better. I did sit and watch many movies with him while getting in some quality cuddle time.

After working for a few hours, off and on, I was FINALLY able to see my counter top. Celebrate with me!

Look at all that space! Every time I walk by, I can't help but smile. It looks so clean and inviting. Here is a close up.

I can't wait to put the pull-knobs onto the cabinets. It will make it look that much better. Here is the finished file cabinet. The papers on the inside shelf are for getting our taxes done. We will probably wait until the middle of next month so that is a safe place for them.
