Thanks again all! I accidentally cleaned up the dresser in my hall today because I needed to put laundry away. I also reset my shower soap dish, possibly badly, but it will work.

I have cleared the garbage bags from in front of my sun porch door, so I think tomorrow I will deal with the sun porch, which basically has boxes of books, and then garbage. I think they will be OK with the boxes of books, so I just need to clean up the other stuff.

I don't know if I have had bratwurst. I oddly love liverwurst. I too am excited for the cleaners to come! I just want my house back now.

I think if I can devote the energy I spent at the theatre to my home, I will be good. I am not sure what will happen if I go back.

I just realized it's reminding me of Dairy Queen chili dogs that I used to have growing up.

Aw. My great-grandmother in West Virginia (Gram to pretty much the whole town of Hinton) loved them, and it was a big treat when someone took her into town for one. Good memories.

Mmm, bratwurst. Love it, though any time I look at the nutrition I run right back to the chicken sausages, in the store! But so tasty....

Why am I awake at 3am?? Beats me! Not loving this.

I am sorry you were awake, means. Sine I am all, cleaning likes carrots, I will say that this cleaning is so physically tiring that I am sleeping through the night pretty well.

I heard from my landlord and they are happy with my progress and to inspect next week as well as rekeying my door ( I lost my key about 5 years ago). Yesterday I mostly rested and just reset my living in the apartment (although I ended up cleaning out a dresser and also resetting my soap dish and a tile). Tomorrow the cleaners come!

Today I have opened up the back porch, which was a repository for junk. My goal here right now is just to get it to neat junk and deal with it later most of the stuff is already boxed- it is books, and then there was other stuff I shoved out there to clean my house. So I want to take care of the shoved stuff, straighten and dust the boxes and move on. This will save me this weekend, as I am seriously hoping for a couple days to actually relax and get ready to go back to work. I may take some things up to the attic, because that seems like more reasonable storage for items than a porch.

My mattress in a box is coming today, but I will put it in the attic for now, until the space is cleared tomorrow and I can clean the carpets before putting down the bed base.

This is just to hold myself accountable for the back porch today. My get up and go is flagging a bit.

I will say that this cleaning is so physically tiring that I am sleeping through the night pretty well.

Double win!

Yay Sophia! You are doing an amazing job! And inspired me to do a bit more cleaning for my Halloween guy's night than I otherwise would have. (I doubt my friends will notice that I've scrubbed my kitchen and bathroom countertops, but I'll know!)

My analyst has been out sick for two weeks, and I've been anxious as hell.

But last night, for some reason, I slept for 10 hours! What did I do to deserve this?

Guys, I'm anxious about being so calm.

Guys, I'm anxious about being so calm.

No, I totally get that. When I hit a patch where I'm not worried about anything, it makes me anxious, because it doesn't feel right to not be worried about *something.*

Tom, sometimes when I'm going through a rough patch and not sleeping well, my body will somehow just decide that I'm so exhausted that I'm going to get a good night's sleep regardless. Could that be what happened to you last night?
