The Lego Tangent
It happened this afternoon
It all started early this afternoon when I was wandering around my apartment looking at things and trying to visualize utilizing more space by moving things around. Do you ever do that? My mind is actually tired from all the visualization. I’ve moved everything in my tiny apartment around so many times in my noggin that I’m almost dizzy. The only way it’s going to work is if I get rid of shit.
In over six years in this apartment I’ve learned that apartments don’t grow and expand. If you need a bigger apartment you’ve got to move to one. But who wants to move in winter time, right? Not me. Besides, in my supremely blissful state of unemployment I don’t have the time or resources to move right now. I’m too busy NOT looking for work.
So earlier this afternoon I was standing in my bedroom looking around to see how I could magically add a bookshelf unit to the room. I only found four inches of unused space. (That is with the door open.)
It really isn’t as bad as it sounds. You see, my teeny tiny bedroom is also my teeny tiny office. It is actually two rooms in one teeny tiny one. While the office half of the room sees a hell of a lot more action than the bedroom half of the room, what really takes up so much space are all the freaking houseplants!
