Day 1 consists of the relatively gentle task of sorting out the junk drawer.

| Or ALL the junk drawers |
Instructions were simple. My interpretation is as follows:
1) Pick drawer(s)
2) Take picture of chaos
3) Dump contents onto floor
4) Take drawers outside and blow off accumulated pet hair/dust. (Aren't I classy?)
5) Sort junk into categories; keep, donate, or toss.
6) Put keep items either in their proper spot in the not-so-junky junk drawer or relocate to proper home elsewhere
7) Move cat out of drawer
8) Take picture proof that I was productive today

Conclusion:
If I am being honest with myself (always a dangerous thought), while the drawers look better, no system was set up for keeping the drawers organized. These drawers tend to act as a landing area for the various bits and pieces that you have in your hands when you come home. Currently I have a drawer for things I need to return to friends or the library, one for dog walking, and one for "I am going outside, but it is too bright/dark/buggy". No drawer for "I just came home with random things that I have to find a home for". This could be a good thing, forcing me to find a home for things. Yay! Knowing myself though, those random things will find their way onto the kitchen counter.
Constant vigilance, my pretties!
