Plugging away at it. I'm avoiding the work car, only because it is COLD out there!! :) (I need a heated garage. I'd settle for a garage, heated or not.)

As you know I did this off and on during the year, and was a total washout every time.

But I wanted to express my awe at how diligent and focused all of you were.

Super Great Job!!!

One last post for me - that I didn't expect to be doing. But unless I have a public list I am never going to motivate myself to do any of this dull stuff. The fun stuff, well, no problem there...

Clean off the dining room bar
Clear off the computer table
Clear off around the trunk
Take out trash, part 1
Take out trash, part 2
Take out boxes
Put away all shopping to this point
Put away shopping for Tues or Wed
Clear off work table
Move pantry items from kitchen cabinets back to stockpile
Clean bathroom
Straighten up bedroom
Put papers and mail away
Clean out fridge
Clean out freezer
Do laundry
Fold and put away laundry
Mop dining room
Mop kitchen
Mop bathroom
Vacuum living room
Vacuum bedroom
Get haircut
Shopping: crochet hooks, large plastic container
Make swatches of new yarn colors I've accumulated since summer

I am annoyed with myself. I've been off work a week now, and there is no reason in the world I should have a list like this. I've just had a bad case of the I don't wannas. But vacation is half over, and unless I get this done, I'll be beyond annoyed when I go back to work. Also I need to get some serious cooking ahead done, but that just may not make the cut.

I WILL do this. None of it is hard except the floors, that kill my back. But even that must be done.
