A nice little bit of work so far.

Sure is odd, when looking at several messes all at once.  Trying to figure out which to hit first.  You could choose based on feelings, but that doesn't work as a general rule.  Though taking care of something that has been naggingly annoying can sometimes boost morale.  The thing is to decide what must be done in order that other things can happen.  Then again, if confusion persists, just pick something and go.  My guess is it takes a bit of this and that, and planning is only good as a starting point thing, and end game thing.  The middle, the actual doing, is messy that way.

I got everything out of the bathroom in order to sweep, put the laundry near the washer, reset the dishes that remain to a fresh rinse.  Then I swept.  The bathroom and then on to the wash room.  I can't really hit the rest of the kitchen with the broom until I clear the boxes and do some other straightening and cleaning.  I also set a wash pail to begin cleaning a spot of dried syrup from the carpeting, and started that.  It's going to take a while to get that out.  A little soaking, a little scrubbing, back and forth, until the splotch is gone... or close enough.  Little bits of this and that, in there, as well.  Not a bad start.

I ought to put a load of laundry in, but I want to deal with the two baskets of clean laundry first.  Adding more to that won't help my cause all that much.  Boxes are next, then cleaning the kitchen.  Then sweeping and then mopping the areas that were swept.  Then the clean laundry.  If I get that far, and I still have energy, I will go ahead and put another load through the laundry.  Oh, and while I am at things, I may mix a batter for waffles.  Waffles, a couple of eggs, and bacon sounds good.  Unfortunately *cough* I can find no recipes that seem reasonable for smaller batches of batter.  It looks like I will have to eat a couple of waffles a day for a while.  Yeah, shut up.  No, you shut up.  :p

Did I mention how nice it is to have a full flowing faucet in the kitchen?  Yeah.  Wait until I fix the drain!  Then I can clean out under there and put everything back exactly so, and have my kitchen back up to snuff.  There is one shelving area I need to work on, but the cabinetry out there, I have decided, will do.  If I do anything, rather than spending a ton of money on new, or even making it, I might strip and repaint.  A crisp white, as there isn't much access to the sun.  And, some drawers need work.  And of course the flooring needs to be redone.  But!  I do have a working faucet, and the drain is... tolerable for now.  Still, I want to fix that drain soon.  I'll buy stuff the next time I am in town, probably tomorrow.

I might not be doing everything I would like to do, as quickly as I would like to do those things.  I may be a little perturbed at the pace, and the annoyances from the needs.  Yet, the last few days, it is like I was able to see the whole ball of wax, everything that needs to be done, what has been done, finances, energy levels, and some other things.  It all made sense.  Just a few moments, several times, where I see it all coming together.  Very good experiences, offering incentive, hope, and some satisfaction.  I might be able to get things set up, before long, as I like them, as they should be.  My home is becoming more than just a place to live, but a hobby, an educational opportunity, and some other things.  Making my own reality, right here and now.  I know it's small, but it beats sleeping my life away.  Want it or not, though I do, I have a lot of life ahead of me.  I would rather use it.  Now, it seems, I can... just a bit.  Later.
