not only am i wide awake, but i've spent all day cleaning and have nearly finished putting everything in the far side away - a huge improvement over where i was. all that's left in the back now is recycle, wood and cds and books, which i can take out of the space and put on he shelves in short order.

i'm going to leave everything in the boxes they're in until i can get to the proper point in the alter-reality to put them away, and then slowly build up the shelves as is appropriate. i still need to get some extra shelves, and i may need a few more units, altogether. but, i can get a handle on where i want things, at least - the big one needs to be for cds, after all, and i'll place the books on the remaining units, as is appropriate.

what i wanted to do today was reduce the remaining "cleaning" to a process that is related to work. so, for example, i have some external drives to clean up before i put them away - which is cleaning, but getting me closer towards re-establishing normality. i'm almost there....
