Hallelujah! Today I decided to suck it up and attack the extra bedroom a.k.a soon to be nursery. Whoo! I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Don lent a hand as well and cleaned out his closet and made way for my stuff to move in. He got rid of tons of stuff that we were able to consign and donate to goodwill! But on to the extra bedroom...the poor extra bedroom. The armoire, the shelves, the nightstand, and everything in between were full and covered with books and notebooks! The dust was an inch thick I swear. I should have taken a picture before I got started to show just how similar it looked to an old library. An old ghetto library.
I got all the books put into a bin for later use and cleaned out all my notebooks with previous notes from Microbiology, Psychology, and Anatomy classes. I thought for sure I would reference them during my nursing student career, but I have yet to so far so I chunked them---well, recycled them. I also had tons of charts and documents from the hospital that had to be shredded. I hate shredding stuff!! I had 8 empty notebooks after the emptying and donated them to Don's students. So, finally, the shelves and anything that could possibly hold books or papers or anything of the sort has been cleared out!! Hooray!!! All the furniture is empty and ready to be moved. It took about 4 hours to complete the task, but that part is done. Its a start. I now feel a small bit of relief and feel as though we may actually get the nursery done before the baby gets here. Next task...cleaning out the closet and painting the ceiling.. AHH!!! Who knows when we will start that.
**I'll make sure to take pictures of the ceiling before I paint it just so everyone can have a chance to see how hideous it truly is. Heck, I'll post pictures as we go from this point on just so I can see the before and after. It will be an Extreme Makeover for sure.
