Doing a little
Day 4 of insomnia nights, so I am tired and cranky. But at least I got moving a bit more than my "normal" of late, and cleared up the hallway of things, especially boxes that has sat for so long, that the color of the carpet underneath looked nearly new.
Some things are now in the donate box. Contents of two boxes of my Mom's stuff got stuffed into one box (will shred unneeded docs later). Old shoes sorted into donate and toss. Lots of little things thrown away. Did find one nice glass pie pan we're keeping, an old phone that Cam wants to play with, and several 8-track tapes that I've no idea what to do with - so donate. I've also a few binders full of my Mom's writing, which may be song lyrics for karaoke, or lots and lots of Japanese poems - I've no idea which. It is in Japanese which I don't read. I'll find her old friend and see if she can help me read them.
Then it was vacuum, and rearrange a few things, and now my husband can easily get into his room. I think I'll steam clean the carpet tonight after the kids are asleep, which should be mostly dry by morning.
For me, this is a good start. Well, this and the bathroom that is still in decent shape.
