Hello friends! For two days this week, I deep cleaned my bedroom and rearranged some furniture.
One of the reasons for the rearranging part was because I wanted to put the cat tree next to the bed so Yuan could use the stairs to get up and down if he wanted. He's 16 now, and sometimes I think his joints bother him. Of course, so far he hasn't used it. 😂
On the other side, after he was done with his nap of course, I put the smaller cat tree, which he did use to get down once.
I took all the things I had stored under the bed, and thoroughly cleaned underneath, as well as the mattress and box spring getting a vacuum with my little handheld Dirt Devil vacuum (I don't have a large vacuum anymore, but this little Dirt Devil has outlived like three large vacuums I think? LOL. I use a carpet sweeper to clean the carpet now).
Yuan as always lent me his support and help. 😸🥰
Since there isn't as much room in this apartment for cat shelves, I have some extras that used to be up in the old apartment. So I used two of those to hold things that were either on the end table (which got moved out to the kitchen to make room for the cat tree), or didn't really have a home before (the modem, which was awkwardly sitting on the little cat tree before, because the cable is behind the door??? Who designed that? This building was built in the 80s, so they weren't expecting flatscreens to be mounted on the wall). I also finally made a place to hang up my hurley, instead of propping it up against things all the time.
And I hid all those cords behind the door with a copper pipe bracket, lol. It works! I have so many cables over there between lights, the modem, and my stereo speaker.

My future plan is to swap where the desk is in the living room with the litter box in the kitchen. That way I can work by the natural light of the window during the day (the living room is dark). But that's for another day, when I'm not so sore and tired, lol.
I made the bed, and Yuan approved.
So I feel a lot better about my bedroom now. I still have things in the kitchen/living room that were under the bed, but I ran out of energy, lol. So that, and then the desk/ litter station swap are in future. I did however the next day, do an organize and declutter of my clothes drawers in the closet! So I still did something, it just wasn't "move heavy things around," haha.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day! 😄
