the nightmares begin

I woke up in the wee hours screaming. I don't remember much about the dream nightmare except that all of the stuff in the house was suddenly being sucked down the staircase. The weird part is that I knew it was going to happen, but then I forgot, so I was taken aback when I realized what was going on. I remember seeing a king size comforter go flying down the hallway and get sucked into the staircase. That's when I started screaming "Oh my God!" and woke up (the house). It took me a bit to get back to sleep.

I did make some progress today though. I started in the upstairs bathroom. Despite that the tub hasn't been used, it looks like it belongs in a Frat House. It is hard to believe all that dirt comes flying through such a tiny window. Then again, this is LA County. It looks like the grout is breaking away. More fun.

Would have made more progress on the laundry had the stains not been so stubborn. And with the change in the weather, things are taking longer to air dry. Might have to put the drying rack outside.

It is getting to the point where there are piles of things to go through and find a space for. It looks like a giant step backwards, but it is usually what causes the big progress to occur - the darkness before the light.

Still the list keeps growing and I am now down to 12 days to get it all done. Meanwhile, here are some cool things to check out:
