Day 17 - Skipping Christmas... Future Space

Note to myself... So I had a wonderful epiphony today. I've been stressing over what to do with this big ol' apartment that I'm living in. I have been thinking, dump it, as it is a little on the expensive side, AND who wants to live in the midst of all those memories, vibes etc... The heck with that! It's a great place I'm staying.

As for the memories, I have friends who can do some things, ritualistic type things that can apparantly rid a place of bad vibes, so we'll give that a try [I'll start with burning some white sage, then move on to the heavy hitters if need be].

The epiphony was that I was sitting on a potential perfect apartment. Once rid of all do-dads, knick knack and bric-a-brac, the place is potentially a "zen palace". I finally had a clear recollection of my Pre-X existance back in Toronto. I had a nice one bedroom, with a huge living room. The living room contained three desks strung together to make a great large workspace, I had a chair, a computer and a TV.

My kitchen had cooking utensils and enough dinner ware and flatware to accomdate myself and one dinner guest.

The bedroom had a TV and a bed...

I will virtually return to this space as of the end of January.

Once the X has moved her stuff out, or as much of it as she can [she can keep stuff at my place as long it is stored in uniform storage bins]. I will return to my once clean, once uncluttered life. Items I will have will be as follows, and that is all [not including consumables like soap and milk]
