Yes, quite a day.

I thought I had handled the boxes.  Then I found boxes, and more boxes, an then some more.  I finally just reached my cutoff for boxes, sorting them, dealing with them.  I put what I was going to keep where I am keeping them.  The rest went onto the freezer.  They will be broken down when I get to it!  With the floor mostly clear, I first vacuumed the rug in the little cove off the kitchen.  Then I swept where the cat litter boxes usually set, and the rest of the kitchen and bathroom.  Finally I mopped the floors,  Actually, I cleaned the bathroom first, mostly.  I know I did a few other little things, an moved chairs onto the rug so as to have easy access.  Then a bit of a rest.

At 14:00, a pair of helpers showed up to help with the raking.  The back yard, and the driveway sideyard is done.  Raked, bagged, and what will fit in the trash bin while leaving enough room for any potential trash has been tossed.  Oh, and with the twigs, I created a burn pile out back.  I might have to invite my friend, and someone else, over for a little burn party.  Hot dogs, marshmallows, perhaps the whole schmores thing.  Can't burn leaves, but can burn wood... for now.

The only other things I want to do yet today is to repair, or attempt to repair, the plumbing under the sink, put the furniture back in the kitchen and bathroom, and maybe take a shower.  Quite a lot of work today, really.  I am very pleased, if tuckered out.  Hmm, oh, but I ought to fix something for dinner.  It is just about that time.  One more thing, we have set up an appointment to finish the raking.  With that done, my next job out there will be to plant seed and set up the hoses.  I think I need new sprinklers, they don't last long.  But I won't be putting those out until I am sure the last frost has come and gone.  I don't think I will sew seeds, either, until after that point.  But I can begin looking for seed, and new sprinklers.  I can be ready.

I really am hitting a solid stride.  I need breaks, I fall from time to time for various reasons, and it doesn't always work, or easily, or quickly.  But, yeah... I am very pleased with how things are going.  I don't even need help on everything, every time, either.  I suppose I should take a break, then see what I can do?  Nah, I'll set the bathroom and kitchen back up first, then take a break.  Those will be easy chores.

Tomorrow?  Depends on how things work out.  I am hoping to finish the kitchen.  Oh, and the microwave cart should be in.  So putting that together, organizing the microwave, food processor, waffle iron, and several other sundry to fully utilize the space, then figuring out where to keep it, will be on the list.  That will really open some counter space.  Then to just figure out how to clear the rest of it, while cleaning.  All good.  We'll see, but that is the plan.  After that, the living room.  Then, as I suggested, I will re-evaluate goals, plans, possibilities...  You know what?  After that, I may see about a place to go for a few days of mini-vacation.  Some park, some minor resort type town if based on a more natural setting... a hikers town or such.  Camping would be a bit much for a mini-vacation, in the middle of work.  Yes, I think I will begin looking for a place to take some time off.  No more than a day's drive, two or three nights lodging, some food for the road, some eating out.  Yes indeed.  That will clear my mind and allow me to figure what to do next.

Probably just move on to my bedroom.  I want that clean before I begin tearing into a new bathroom build.  Though perhaps working on the sub-panel might be the next task.  I just don't quite know yet.  I just know that whatever I plan, I can probably do.  Perhaps not as quickly as I might have thought, money is always a tricky thing, time and energy and health all play a roll.  I just know, now, that I will get it done.  Know.  I also know I am hungry and want to do a few things before I eat.  So, I best get going.

Later.
