Thanks, Maryanne, I am sure it was depression which kept me demotivated and built up the dust, et al.:-)

SRS, I did have a woman, who became a friend, come in every other week for two hours to do the floors, but we had to stop because of cost. Right now, that's just not doable.

Animaterra, thank you. "Light" is returning, yes, but sunlight never leaves Colorado! In fact, IT was depressing me a few weeks ago...I was ready to give anything for a gloomy New England day!:-)

I am off to get my teeth cleaned this morning, then Morgan is coming for lunch. Later, I will pay bills and get them off my desk. My plants look much happier this morning. I moved some around yesterday and it's made a big difference all round.
