Week 26

 What a week! While doing the downstairs chores on Wednesday, I decide to do a little area of the library. Cleaned the area in front of the window and the first bookcase on that wall. Book shuffling is very addicting. Thursday I worked on the next two cases and the floor in front of the other window. Instead of working on the bookcases on the other side, I just continued along the wall, Mt. Vernon style, on Friday. Upper and lower cupboards and the counter were cleaned. Only the center opening on the bottom was left. On Saturday I cleaned out the drawers in the center and the first bookcase on the other wall. Pull out some homeschooling items. Almost all the books on the ledge of the counter are now on a bookshelf. If I go through the paperback picture books, I could get all the books off the counter. 

Added some things to the garage sale pile. Trixie wants to sort through a couple boxes before they go in the garage sale pile. Also found more craft stuff which I added to the list of locations. I also have more binders to sort through. I'll need to find out if a used curriculum sale is happening soon and if someone can sell my stuff for me. There might be a few more items on the bottom shelf of the next bookcase. I did keep a few things that I think would be fun to go through myself.

Way, way, way ahead of schedule. Barely into April for a project scheduled out to the end of May. Four bookcases and the floor are left. Plus all the things to be sorted, like binders, play dough box, and crafts. I should probably focus on those before moving on to the laundry room. Big trash pick up is this week so that will get some of the mess out of there.

Yesterday I used the ceiling tiles as the guide. I think this week the bookcases will be the guide. The first chunk will be to clean the treadmill which is very dusty and covered in sweat and the second bookcase and anything on the floor that's lined up with the bookcase. I'll only have Thursday and Friday with Eager Hands on Saturday. Although, in my eagerness to finish I'll probably chip away at it earlier in the week, too. It would be great to get all that dustiness taken care of before Doc gets home.
