You could take 1GB off your swap partition and move the /boot partition to there.

If you had live boot capability, I would suggest moving the space up to where /boot is now, but I don't think you can do that while running it.

With this being a dual-boot computer, having only one permanent storage device (the one hard drive), no other computers, and not being able to make a live boot, it seems best to not try changing the partitioning.  It seems too risky.  I hope that someday I'll get a new computer.  Then I'll (hopefully) install (including partitioning) it more wisely.
