A day of making the home... A mess.

So since I'm faced with this great abundance of time (har har) I decided that today would be a great day to get a few projects done that have been on my itinerary for a little while.
• laundry
• prepping for an imminent yard sale
• kitchen stuff

The laundry is started and is slowly churning in the machines of clean. To be honest, this one chore is the bane of my homely responsibilities not because it's a forever ongoing task, but because it takes so long! Put in a load. Wait. Put in a load. Wait. Etc. so I'm currently on my third load (of about eighty) and I'm waiting. Time which I thought would give me an excellent opportunity to move on to the second task.

I have so much stuff in my house that I don't need that I know a yard sale is looming in my future. So I set to tackle one closet at a time. Today's closet I went through very successfully separating the things to keep and the things to jettison. (New load. Wait.) And hey, there's this box of photos that hold memories from when I was two until now that need homes
in the abundant albums found in the same closet. (Dang, I forgot to put in the new load.) So now my dining room table looks like this.

Sigh. Moving on. We had turkey for dinner last might and I pride myself on stretching a carcass as far as it will go, so unfortunately it seems that turkey broth and stock was the only accomplishment of the day. (My apologies to vegan and veggie friends out there. But an omnivore's gotta do what an omnivore's gotta do.)

Now I know why I have an unfinished list.
