Progress

Both bedrooms upstairs are done-- carpet is shampooed, closets are cleaned out, baseboards are wiped down-- and the bathroom is starting to shape up. We threw out an entire trashcan full of half-used soaps and lotions and medicines. It was pretty cathartic. Our remaining toiletries are packed in travel bags, ready to be thrown into our suitcase for Ireland. The kitchen is being emptied and shuttled to our friends. The livingroom is nearly devoid of furniture and is home to a cardboard box fort. If I had my camera, I'd take a picture : )
