I have been giving my apartment a complete overhaul. I have cleaned my apartment as on a mission and still have more to do. I also plan to clean the years of chain smoking off my walls and paint them. It is going to be a lot of work. The sloth of many years of chain smoking/heavy drinking is still evident. But soon, the whole place will look brand new, I am hoping. The carpet, well, that I haven't come to a conclusion concerning yet. But we will see.
