Sounds like you've picked up where you left off a few short weeks ago, and now have more family partners in musical crime. Good work! (I hope you weren't exposed to the stair-guy's COVID!)

This weekend I started work on the next batch of cardboard to recycle. One of my habits is to keep the box that electronic items came in; at one time if something went wrong manufacturers (or stores) wanted you to return them in the original box. Those days are long gone; in more recent times having the original box for something you're selling on eBay gave it more cachet and the ability to ask a higher price. The boxes I'm finding now won't add value, just dust. It occurs to me that I have some boxes in the attic that can join this growing stack; I'll head up one day this week early in the morning to avoid the heat up there.

That doesn't mean all cardboard is ejected from the house, on the contrary. I ordered two more jigsaw puzzles from the Exploding Kitten (The Oatmeal) artist, and I have several boxes of worked (and complete) puzzles I may put on eBay. I had been donating them and will probably still do that with some. A friend works at a library where they keep one going on a table and anyone can stop by and work it. For me jigsaw puzzles and audiobooks go well together to distract from politics of the day and I've doubled down on that activity lately. When I pick them up in thrift stores there are some artists I see regularly (Wysocki work is attractive but his depth of field is off, making it difficult to place pieces), those featuring collections of things (books, record albums, cheeses, etc.) give the most challenge but also a chance to meditate on the subject matter. I did a great one of the Cinque Terre (alas, Cookie ate a few of the pieces off of the table) that was nice and I see a different puzzle view of the same on Amazon). Never ever Kinkade cross my threshold, I find his work nauseating.
