Nothing like a deadline to inspire totally new projects! ...and to complete existing ones. So our guest arrived yesterday at 5:50 pm. I worked solidly until 5:45. Hours and hours on the upstairs bathroom. Haven't gone through all the stuff in the vanity cabinets in who knows how long. Worked diligently on assuaging overwhelm and tiredness. I was sitting in the middle of the bathroom floor surrounded by bottles, tubes, random what-evers. But I got one of the two sides completely cleared out, shop vaced (how the heck do you spell the past tense and/or faux verb form of shop vac?!? Normally I would now go to search for this; I shall refrain.), placed nicely within the cabinet. Then forgot to show the DG (dear guest). But that's okay. There is ample time now to mention such things. DH was very helpful. He kept asking if there was anything he could do to help. Usually the question, if asked at all, is uttered just once. I really appreciated the continued attention/assistance.

I had a restless night last night...
Same here, mylittlescholar. Up in the middle of the night, fretting about anything and everything. Now double-zombie-esque from 1) all the cleaning and organizing for DG and 2) the disrupted sleep. Have accomplished next to nothing today (which is not atypical after finishing a massive deadline(s) of either work work or home work).

CP, I'm glad your guest is settled in, hopefully this will be a good visit. My friend reads me the reviews she gets if they're especially good.

Get well soon blondie!
CP, being surrounded by toiletries sounds very familiar. I had a little Fort yesterday of them!
First day back at work, slept badly and napped this evening. Happy I still got some things done as I felt like I wouldn't. It made me feel reassured that I can get a lot done in a short space of time.
Done: - Gathered living room trash - Emptied living room trash can - Put back downstairs bathroom laundry hamper and put laundry lying around in it - Stacked and ran dishwasher - Made lunch for tomorrow - PEEPed a box I filled yesterday of things that belong in the living room - Broke down some cardboard for a craft project at work and left by the door to take in tomorrow - Put one more item in the donate bag - Achieved coffee table zero - Achieved dining table zero
To do: - Set out clothes for tomorrow

Hi reve!
I had dinner and watched some more cable news. I will try to get to bed a little early in case I decide to go shopping tomorrow.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Good morning! I managed to get myself out to Walmart this morning, it was a good walk, no snow on the ground and the temp was about 30 so it was not too cold or too warm. I'm resting now, soon I'll have to take the dog out to the yard.

Hello all!
Making the most of the energy I've got in case the siren song of a nap claims me again this evening, I've done the minimum with the idea that anything else later is a bonus
Done: Brought recycling bin back in for boyfriend Donated an old sweater of mum's she had left in my suitcase Took recycling card in to work for a craft project where it was used up Load of laundry Cleared air dryer and folded clean laundry
To do: Set out clothes for tomorrow Remind boyfriend to put cleaning blocks in toilets Take down Christmas decorations, box them up and put them away (I'm hoping he will do more of this as I put them all up) Relocate irrelevant cleaning products from the master bathroom Check more fragrances to see if they are worth keeping or not
Edit: Crossposted with a couple of people there. Well done CP and hello Diane, hope your day is going well!
