GRAAAH, I CANNOT TAKE THIS PLACE ANY LONGER.
Grand plan for de-GRAAAHing it:
Today
Wash all the dirty dishes Okay, most of them
Put everything a fair bit away in the kitchen
Clean all the counters
Clean the stove
Scrub the sink
Clean out the fridge
Wash dirty carrier bags
Label pantry baskets
Make a box of Random Shit I Don't Want
Make up bags of things I'm saving for people
Put away all clothes that are put-awayable
Make a pile of mending
Do a green load
Get started on hand-washing
Monday
Take all the packages and half-finished letters that are piled up, and send them all out
Keep going on hand-washing
Start on mending
Take a load to Goodwill
Make a date to sell books to the used bookstore, sell videos to the music store
Clear out the piles in the foyer
Tuesday
If there are no takers, haul the old microwave to the trash
Clean bathroom top to bottom
Reorganize bathroom
Tackle bedroom pile
Do something about the litter around the bed
Wash comforter
The Less Foreseeable Future
Vacuum living room
Clear off desk
Reorganize desk cabinet
Find a better place for the printer
Deal with piles in the living room
Grander Plans
Replace DVD shelves with more attractive, less cumbersome alternative
Finish pantry
Rearrange bedroom
Do something about kitchen floor
Mop all floors
Paint and put backing on bedroom bookshelves
Paint living room bookshelves
What I need is somewhere to put everything I don't want. That would half-clear the house on its own.
Didn't I do this last year? How in hell did the house get into this state again? Admittedly, it's better than last year--far better--but wasn't the house's metabolism supposed to be straightened out by now? "In" is still easy and "out" is still a problem.
On the up side, the cats are doing their best to make everything match by covering it all with a layer of hair. Good job.
