I hauled two arm chairs outside, photographed them in the driveway, then put them in the garage. They're not off the property but they're out of the way in the house.

Dropped off a sack of books at Half-Price, dropped off a bag of toys for donation at Goodwill. Left recycling and some trimmed off branches at the dump and recycle station. The rest of the branches are at the curb for the trash on Monday.

I took a bunch of cards and notes that had been on my fridge (remember I cleaned it off a couple of weeks ago?) and taped them into a spiral notebook. Stacked a bunch of papers to file in one place, left dirty dishes soaking.

Start from that point in the morning. The kitchen is looking marginally better. My friend is here, and sleeping in my daughter's room, that actually is looking pretty good--as long as you don't look at all of the boxes stacked in the closet.
