rags, I did the shower surrounds in both tubs in my house. It takes a little while, but if you only put up as much adhesive as you can use at at time and pace yourself, it is doable!

I packed up and shipped a 28 pound box of china on Tuesday. Another 12 pounds is set to sell and ship tomorrow. These are the result of discussions with interested buyers via eBay's email, and then when we're set, I list it at a given time as "buy it now." We're both protected more than a sale via Craig's List or something similar. This clears I'd guess about 2/5ths of the surface area of my kitchen table. I'll have to think about the rest, how and when to list it.

I've decided to have a neighbor guy come help in the yard a bit. Side-by-side stuff, mostly, helping weed, trim. It's kind of like having someone come in and clean the house for a half day every three or four weeks - it isn't a lot but it still helps to keep ahead of things. He doesn't have room to garden very much at his house (his yard is heavily shaded) but he grew up on a farm in Mexico so knows his way around a veggie garden.

Lots to do tomorrow since I'm taking a vacation day on Friday.
