Over the past week I've bought two separate plastic chests of drawers to put all my video game stuff in. The black wire pseudo-Yaffa blocks that had previously been holding that stuff (and allowing it to collect a nice blanket of dust) will soon be serving duty in my utterly disorganized closet.
Today I also picked up some cardboard filing boxes so I could move all of my old undergraduate papers and such down into the garage. I did this only because I was positively out of space in my filing cabinet, and I needed to move my graduate papers from the piles I was keeping them in on the floor into the cabinet. Now that this has been done, I actually have room for my yoga mat again, so hopefully I can start doing yoga again here soon.
This doesn't address the biggest storage issue in my room, of course, which is that I've needed more space for my books here for a year and a half, and I still don't know what I'm going to do. For now I'm probably going to buy a mini-tower since I have enough smaller books to fit in one of those, but I do not have enough space in here for another full-fledged bookshelf, and I have got to find a work-around for that soon.
Handling all of this, of course, is just a precursor to me getting a real computer desk in here so I can stop typing from my bed, which I'm hoping will help with my energy levels.
You'd think that after the fire I'd be better about hanging onto stuff, and in all honesty except for a few things (some CDs, some video games, my computer, my Popples), I think I'd be okay without that stuff. All things being equal, though, I'm still not in a rush to get rid of any of it. I swear, when I finally get my own place I'm going to need an extra bedroom just to keep all of this stuff in. Sigh.
