A pretty good showing.

The counters are finished.  Just the top surfaces, but all of them.  Stove, actual counters, and the flat top freezer top.  Some fronts were done, some before as with the stove from the last time I cleaned, to a cupboard and starting another.  I realized, however, that energy is scarce.  For me to finish the counters, pull out and organize the freezers, then hit dishes, plus chores, maybe a few boxes broken down or delivered to the basement, and maybe upstairs work and hobbies (unlikely, all of it, but... even some of it) I would need to focus on exact tasks.  This time.

I didn't completely wear out, on seemingly a cellular level.  My lungs aren't burning.  And.  I didn't want to push it that far.  Still, I can tell, it was a workout.  Two of the counters needed a lot of work, the rest were pretty good.  The stove top... it surprises me how well that can turn out sometimes.  Last time it came out so-so.  This time, while not quite new looking, it is still amazing.  Like... a few weeks old?  A year, with good upkeep?  Boiling over, I think, makes the worse permanent mess.  But even that is hardly noticeable.

I moved whatever needed moving more easily than I thought would be the case.  There are quite a number of dishes, two dish pans and more, to be cleaned.  One is a dishpan full which had been cleaned, then got pushed back, and never touched.  Dusty, should be easy.  The other stuff isn't too bad, relatively light and fresh.  Still, the tub is nearly full, so it... I don't know about today.

I do think, after a break and time for the kefir smoothie to digest, I can get back and to the dishes.  At least what is set up.  I won't put the other dishes in, not until after a shower.  Assuming I get that far.  Everything I am planning is a running tally.  A hope.  If I run out of steam for this, perhaps a few boxes though.  Or even a bit of organizing while sitting.  I never know what is possible.

Still, the real, to me, bottleneck is handled.  I don't think dishes will be as much of a chore, plus I can sit.  Oh, I just have to remember to pull meat out of the freezer, some to be put into  the smaller freezer which is always available, some to be set to thaw.  Meat for crumble, maybe a roast, chicken if I have it, brats if there are any in the big freezer, and some thin cuts I may turn into jerky.  The last may go into the freezer, until this weekend.  As well, I want to fill the small freezer with more meats.  Yea.

I can probably hit that in an hour, or two, when it is time to do start the dishes.  Rests seem to help.  And I really would like to hit ten boxes, and maybe do a bit more clearing upstairs.  Just a few things, each time I wake, go up to sleep, or when I have extra energy or time, seems to be getting me closer to completing the project.  A drop in a bucket does add up.  Later.
