I need housekeeping tips

[AllPurposeAtheist]

OK, I'm a slob. That's off the table for discussion. Below is the view I have. I have this and a bed and a door. I have 2 feet from my bed to the desk and dresser and tomorrow morning I have to go get a free TV, a microwave and maybe a dinky fridge.
Where the fuck am I gonna put all this crap? AND I'm gonna have a hangover to boot! :shock:

If the TV isn't too heavy, then clean off enough of the desk to hold the microwave, and put the TV atop that. How dinky is the fridge? If it is one of those 3-foot high ones, you could put it atop the dresser.

Ehh.. Im falling asleep so fuck it.. I'll dump it all in a drawer and worry about it in the next exciting episode of My Dinky Room at the Y.. Check your local listings! :-D

Did I mention the shrink at the VA gave me a bottle of hydroxine to sleep today?  It's highly effective mixed with beer. It's a true miracle I'm able to type tonight! Praise Jesus! :prayer:

Wow, that's slightly less messy than my desk. (The one without the computers, that is.)

That's severely less messy than my desk. I can probably start taking tips from you.

Here's a housekeeping top tip:

Freshen your place up by taking old food and used packaging and storing it in a big black garbage bag for collection on garbage day.

Hey APA,

Did you get a place?

Cardboard boxes can be converted into furniture with a little imagination.

You need SHELVING. Shelving and some organizational boxes. You find that stuff pretty cheap at Wal-Mart, or where ever. If not shelving, then at least some of those plastic organiziner boxes. You can find them in all sizes, from small ones with little compartments for keeping (for me) bobby pins and nails polish and stuff, to large ones for other toiletries and things.

Also, looks like you have a guitar. Hang that up on the wall. And the boxes of your crap that won't fit in drawers can go under your bed. They make long, thin plastic storage bins with little wheels for going under people's beds.

Cardboard if free if you look for it, and can be made into any kind of furniture, including shelving.

Corrugated cardboard stacked on end, so the corrugations run vertically, can support an enormous amount of weight. I've built shelves that hold books with it.

Use cheap duct tape and cheap Elmer's glue to build with. You can make anything your imagination can create, and there are-as shown above- numerous websites for ideas.

You beat me to it, great advice!  =D>  Solitary

Is there a trash can in your house?  lol

Hey APA,

Did you get a place?

I did indeed and thanks. It's the YMCA, but I don't have an Indian chief costume or gay biker outfit or cop uniform, cowboy getup nor a construction worker outfit. And I can't play it on the guitar. Come to think of it neither did they..
Still it beats homelessness.. ;)
I'm doomed to slobbiness.. I got a TV and microwave and coffee pot.. I think it all fits on the head of a pin..
