keeping up with entropy

I'm still not unpacked and enjoying a fully liveable space and this is frustrating me. I've gotten busy with other things now that I've been here a while, and that's good, but in that usually busy schedule it seems like a 'productive' day when I can get all my laundry done. But of course there will always be laundry to do and dishes to wash and that's just breaking even and not making any real progress.

My kitchen is probably my most established room in the apartment. It's functional, though lacking a microwave, and it could do with better shelving to more efficiently hold all the utensils. The bedroom is serviceable and holds clothes and bed, but is full of boxes. The living room is full of boxes. The dining room is temporary space for unpacking things, alternately full of boxes and packing materials, and the dining table is shoved off against the wall.

I have many many empty boxes and a huge stack of 2.5'x3' wrinkled newsprint that all my stuff was packed in. Need any packing supplies or cardboard and paper for crafty projects?

The only way to fix this problem is to have a party and invite people you think might judge you for it. I like to think that's why they invented that whole house-warming concept.

I know how you feel about the unpacking business. My to-do list always says that I will need to empty boxes, but I never find a way to get it done.

Hello :). I added you to my FL a while back and wanted to introduce myself. I saw you on a few other websites and thought you seemed like an interesting guy, not to mention geeky in the best possible way. I look forward to reading you, and let me know if you have any questions for me.

And good luck here in Boston!

If you want a low end microwave (works fine, just doesn't have the greatest ui) we have a spare one that we aren't using any more since we merged households.
