Little Jobs Take Big Time

Our holiday weekend is anything but restful. With realtors scheduled to meet with us Tuesday and Wednesday, we're doing everything we can to make our house look like a place they'd be excited about selling...and multiple buyers would be very eager to call it their next home.

The primary task has been a thorough cleaning of the place, which we've learned takes a lot more time that we thought. Along the way we've discovered other little jobs that also turn out to be more time consuming. Boris and I have been quite a team as we've repaired a bathroom cabinet, changed a tricky light bulb or two, cleaned the roman shade in our cats' favorite window, made a seldom used fireplace sparkle, returned furniture to its rightful place (for now, anyway), moved framed family photos from mantles to a storage box and replaced the caulk around the kitchen sink. 

You get the idea. 

And, since it's Sunday, it's time for the true test of how productive our week has been.  That's right, it's trash night. This week we have more garbage than our bin will hold.  (We've definitely been productive this week!) Our plan is to roam the neighborhood after dark and deposit our extra few bags in any bins along the curb that have room.  

Please don't tell anybody!
