Time to deal with this:

OK, so I just got lazy about taking out the recycling. That was easy. The rest took a bit of sorting.

On top of the credenza were some books, music from concerts from last season (end of April, folks!), and that long blue and white thing? That’s a noisemaker. You swing it in the air.

Other random noisy devices seen above include a cow bell and a maraca in one of the baskets. I didn’t really have an appropriate storage location for noisemakers, so I’m appropriating one of the under-bed storage boxes I bought yesterday for miscellaneous items.

I’m glad I bought two shorter under-bed boxes, rather than one long one. Now I don’t have to hold off dealing with clothes storage until I run back to Target for more boxes!

The baskets held a lot of paperwork that needed sorting. I’m terrible with that — car loan statements, medical statements, etc.

My office filing cabinet is overstuffed so until I do some shredding, I bought a 13-pocket file folder for temporary filing. I’ve still got a bit more organizing to do, but it’s looking much better.

(By the way, the solid panel on the left slides over, there are shelves on that side too. However, I actually already had cleaned out the left side before NaBloCleanMo!)

Now, I really should be getting to bed. I’ve got a run early in the morning! I’m a mentor with our running club’s 10K training class, and we’re doing a trial run of the graduation race.

I’ve got a great support group that I’ve met through this class, and for them, I am thankful!
