Ok, I have assessed. I have taken the brain medicine. I have a cup of coffee.
I have also swept the kitchen and part of the garage, and gathered clumps of things together, like bits of random laundry (socks, cleaning rags) and boxes.
Work is dividing into smaller blobs:
1. Organize the cabinet in the kitchen so the wok will fit in. Thank you, Amanda for loading the dishwasher. Unloading the dishwasher should also happen, but I'm taking specific responsibility for the one cabinet. Otherwise, the kitchen is operationally, not-scaring-the-guests clean.
2. Make sure the sofa bed can be unfolded in the garage. Also store the shop vac.
3. Vacuum the traffic areas, both up- and downstairs.
4. Tuck away things in the trunk upstairs and clean off my desk. This room will have a sort of auxiliary function and I don't want to feel like my personal stuff is exposed.
5. Get my room in some passable amount of clean. I realized it collapsed when I brought the other chair in there. There is just too much bulk, but I can at least put away the clothes and create a safe landing zone. OTOH, I think I'm removing the rocking chair. Free! to a good home....
6. Wash! Bathe thoroughly and put on my cute new clothes, and dress up like I give a damn. Who knows, after enough coffee, I may give a damn. And I want my friends to like me/ my outfit/ being in our house, even if I feel like the week was one long Mack truck.
