Things that might be decidedly odd....
The past few days I’ve been involved in a substantial project of cleaning my apartment. I’m still not done, but I’m entering the home stretch. The piles of crap and clutter have been banished to the closets and recycling bin. Strangely, my apartment feels really empty.
I went from stuff like this,

After about two hours of manual labor, my desk is pretty much put together:
I still need to add some more nails to the backing behind the drawers, but I didn’t want to do any more hammering than absolutely necessary this late in the evening.

Before that I was staying in a hotel while looking for an apartment then driving all my crap up from California. Reflecting back, I’m still very satisfied with my [...]
