I'm usually not the type of person who will clean for hours on end, but I've done quite a bit of it lately. Yesterday is when I did a lot of cleaning and organizing.
I'm getting rid of (donating) quite a bit of clothes that I don't need/wear and throwing out some old shoes. I've removed some old things of J's from my closet which he has no use for (he's 5 and way too big for a stroller, for example).
I have a ton of pictures of my ex-fiancé and I that need to be destroyed. I tried to go through our picture albums over a year ago and I just couldn't do it without crying. This time I took out every picture and had no feelings of sadness. It felt good.
I've gotten rid of lots of old papers and mail that I don't need anymore along with empty boxes.
To the unknowing eyes, my room probably doesn't look much different, but I see the difference. I can feel it. I feel the peace of mind.
It feels so good to organize things.
I fell asleep earlier, around 3am at least, but woke up at 5:39am and immediately felt very mentally awake despite being exhausted. -I'll come back to this in a bit.
What really woke me up was the idea of getting a bookshelf in one corner of my room. God I've been dying for one for so long. I want to display my books so badly. My Harry Potter collection and my Vampire Knight manga... It would be right there for me to peruse any time I felt like it, instead of being boxed away in storage.
I have found a couple of shelves that I think would fit and each of them seems to be a decent price, especially with my employee discount. I just gotta do some measurements and get some approval from my parents and probably my grandma since she owns the place. Ugh.
I've been having trouble going to sleep and staying asleep lately. I can't think of anything that I've really done differently... But as I mentioned before, I'll wake up and my mind will latch onto a thought or idea and I can't go back to sleep until I've satisfied the thoughts or I tire myself out. It's like an itch I just can't scratch.
I could maybe go back to sleep now since I've satisfactorily found a couple of bookshelves, but now I want to go measure the space in the corner to see if any of them will fit.
And my belly is telling me it has some hungries.
I love sleep. I just want to sleep.
I just remembered that when I was going through all my stuff that I found the 10-or-so pokemon cards I bought after playing Pokemon Diamond four-ish years ago. Those pokemon were some that I considered to be my favorites from the game. Shinx, Pachirisu, Buizel, etc, and of course Piplup.
I've been thinking about organizing my Pokemon cards by generation and maybe even more specifically by set. So I might just have XY cards in this box, Sun and Moon over here, and Sword and Shield over there, or go even deeper like: here are all the Sun and Moon cards and this portion is Celestial Storm and these are Cosmic Eclipse, etc. I don't know if I'll go that far.
To be honest, I don't know if I'll ever use my cards to battle anyone other than Da.
I feel like I had more things to talk about but now I'm just drawing a blank. My eyes are pretty tired, but my mind is so alive and awake.
Edit: added picture.
