In which I flee in a cowardly fashion
Nov. 19th, 2005 08:03 pm[Written earlier before my laptop battery died despite claiming that it had 50 minutes of charge left.]
Yesterday on the way home from work I purchased a few nice-looking storage boxes to put on top of my shelves--all in the interests of decreasing clutter, improving quality of life and generally becoming a better person. Late last night, although I was giddy with sleep deprivation, I decided if I was really going to put some things away in the boxes I should do it an organized way, so at around midnight I ended up pulling half my books and all my dvds from my shelves. I should mention that I have quite a lot of books and a number of dvds and a lot of shelves (though, unfortunately, always more books and dvds than shelves—thus the storage boxes). I can only say I was not thinking clearly. I got up this morning to a living room floor covered in collapsed piles of books and half full storage boxes. In terror at the mess I'd made, I've now fled my apartment with the excuse of needing to fortify myself with coffee. I can't put off returning indefinitely, but I'm doing my best.

I have now returned home *cries*.
