Thank you Maeve. Maybe I just needed last week to rest and decompress from work.

All the boxes are now off the living room floor and it is vacuumed. Volume of paper in boxes reduced by about one half. (REcycling bin is full.)

Old vacuum I haven't used in years and one small abg of clothes dropped off at HumandSociety thrift shop.

Bed made. Almostall the laundry done. (Since my household is just me, this is not so impressive.)

Thanks for this thread. Havi g company for this most onerous of tasks (to me) makes all the difference.
