nellorat on trying to get the house presentable enough for company. Go read that.
We are making terrific progress, though, I fear, the words I used to describe my cleaning work in my study last month keep echoing in my head: "I spent five hours on it, it's vastly better organized, but the changes are not visible to the human eye." Part of this is that much of the work we did today involved straightening up enough in our basement file room that we can move some shelving-units-on-wheels there, and then boxes will begin to disappear from the living room &supergee's study. But that disappearance isn't today, and it feels too much like cleaning and fury signifying little.
On the bright side, there's a pile of boxes in the middle of my study which should disappear first thing tomorrow, which will make a difference visible to the human eye.
And, of course, I'm tired, which makes it harder to be enthusiastic. I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be astounding by how much we've done. Intellectually, I'm there now; I'm just not emotionally connected to any sense of progress yet.
