I Would Love a 'Moving Furniture' Spell

Why? Because I spent all week clearing out my room(I have far too much stuff) so I could get a bed in. Then I got to move everything around because, hey, it was getting cleared out anyway, right? It's not that I'm not happy about it - I'm ecstatic, I have under-the-bed storage space now - but it took ages. I now see why people say you burn calories cleaning: it's true.

I still have clutter, of course - I likely always will, coming from a family of packrats - but it's now the cleanest bedroom in the house!

This must be what spring cleaning feels like. It's nice. :-)

It'll be even better when I can find the key to the filing cabinet again and get my art supplies off my altar/desk. Otherwise, I may end up using my windowsill, and then I risk candles falling onto my nice new bed. And explaining to mom and dad that 'oh, by the way, I was celebrating Beltane, a Wiccan holy day, and I knocked my Goddess candle over, set my sheets alight, and now the house is on fire, so let's get out, ok, bye!'

That'd go over well. You know, not. I'm pretty sure I'd burn with the bedsheets . . .

Okay, exaggerating, but I'd be in mounds of uh-oh. Unlike my recently found stuffed animals - I horded them as a kid, and now they've aken over my bed so I keep falling of it(for the record: OW!). Aside from sleeping space, though, I've got tons of room now. Here, see the terrible Paint picture:

This is the room as it was. That fuzzy stuff from the spraypaint tool? Clutter and trash.

And TA-DAAAA! Nice new, clutter-free room for the Janie Person! Look, even the bins of Dad's old stuff(this used to be his office until I took it over while he was in Iraq a few years ago) are gone! I shoved them into the garage.


 . . . Don't believe me on the clutter-free bit? I don't blame you: I'm still sorting through it all. Still - I DO have the cleanest room in the house, now! And most picked-up, too. :-) Here's a more accurate shot:

There's the clutter! Tiny bits I couldn't get up without a vaccuum around the new sleighbed style daybed, some under and around the end table, and more spilling out of my closet. The old never-watched TV is shoved in the closet, covered in a blue and gold curtain, and is now a very pretty cat perch. X-)

A spell to move the furniture for me would still be great, though.
