I finished rearranging the apartment (for now). The two BIG furniture items remaining have been relocated.
The media centre has been sentenced to the corner wall beside the pantry - it isn't used often and people have not been fans of the Shrine To TV in the living area. It's still accessible, but very pointedly shoved somewhere out of the way. The prime living area space is now occupied by a table serving as a desk and work bench. Much better.
Part of doing this meant clearing three drawers from the table (it's a folding table with storage) and everything from its surface - which is now mostly in a box and waiting to be sorted. That is a task for another night.
Kama did several iterations of 'Let's rid MORE stuff from the freezer!' over the past few days and it is a lot roomier now. (Also, he was the one who started overhauling the apartment a few days ago. It's been entirely reorganized down to the furniture in the rooms. He put a lot of clothes and fabrics into bags for donation/selling, tossed a big trash bag full of pantry items that had been waiting to become ingredients for years, and reached some kind of decluttering enlightenment.)
And he did a small but Good Thing in declining a favour request this morning. It would have gone terribly. Guilt over both declining and trying but having it Go Terribly was setting in. He said no.
