I had a moment of clarity two nights ago about my life. And it felt like the first thing I have to do make this all happen is a complete and totally thorough Spring cleaning. I mean the get rid of stuff, donate, throw out, move the refrigerator away from the wall kind of cleaning. Ugh. I am not a cleaner. I have actually hired friends to clean for me and my apt is tiny-lol

But it's precisely because my apt is tiny that I have to get rid of stuff. I feel like I am suffocating with the build up of all this material stuff, which also feels like it relates to raw. I feel like I need to clean out from the outside, too. I've heard other people describe this phenomenon where you kind of reflect inside what is going on outside. And the outside is dirty, cramped and full of stuff I don't need or use anymore!

I started working last night and plan on going through the weekend. I bought three more plastic tubs for storage tonight and will clean the bathroom and kitchen tomorrow. My neighbor was just gifted with a carpet cleaner and is offering to clean my carpets for me. This is so nice, as I was going to have to rent a cleaner.

See you on the other side!!

    Hey, I lived on Broadway near Obispo! Now I live near the University and I've also lived in downtown. I've lived here since college, except for several years in Chicago and Seattle. I like it a lot. I'm going to be moving to Huntington Beach in a year or so and will be closer to the ocean.

    How funny. I bet we crossed paths at some point. My Grandparents lived on Clark St. In Los Altos and my Mom was raised there. She married my Dad who was a Marine so, we either lived in LB or in North Carolina. I loved NC. We came out when I was 15y/o when my Mom divorced my Dad and we moved to Signal Hill. I lived in Orange County for awhile and came back to LB and lived near Belmont Shores for a bit, 6th st., Obipso, and my last place before coming here I lived off of Temple. Small world huh? That's so kewl. Next time I"m coming to LB I'll give ya a heads up and maybe we can meet up?
