"Why?" you ask. Why on earth would I subject myself to that kind of pain? Why would anyone voluntarily submit themselves to the wrath of the Dust Bunnies?
Well, the answer is simple: the comforter taking up all the space on the top shelf of the closet had to find a new home. Which meant that it had to go under the bed.
The space under the bed hadn't been cleaned in a while (don't tell my mother), so I figured I might as well tackle that, too, while I had the motivation.
So, last Friday, I put on shorts and got down to business.
First stop: The Container Store. Do any of you love this store as much as I do? They have all the organization products you could ever want wrapped up in one tiny store. I was on a mission for a way to store the blanket, and I found the perfect thing: the blanket bag.

One planned purchase and one un-planned purchase later, I had my solution to The Comforter Problem. I was able to fit the entire fluffy comforter/duvet-filler thing into the small bag!
I trekked home, pulled every single thing out from under the bed, tackled it with my fake swiffer (it has a cloth pad that I can wash and reuse!), wiped off the tops of containers, and put everything back neatly. Only took me about an hour! Hah.
Step one of closet reorganization complete! And, as a bonus, I finally got the space under the bed cleaned!
Perhaps my sense of accomplishment at completing this one task will spur me to complete all the others I'm working on. Maybe.
