Where to Begin?

After yet another day of lousy choices (potlucks are not my friend; that's all there is to it), I have new resolve today.

Yesterday, I told my family that I needed help in the kitchen. I'm trying to make sure the kitchen is clean every night--no dishes left in the sink, etc. But I'm also working a lot more nights lately. I said, "On nights I get home after 8PM, I'd really appreciate it if the kitchen were clean when I got home." That night, I walked in the side door to a running dishwasher and spotless counters & sink. A small thing for some, but a big deal for me.

In that spirit, I'm trying to get more accomplished today. Unfortunately, the clutter has permeated every part of my house. Do I work on my bedroom first, or tackle the basement? I'd like to clean out and donate a lot of stuff from closets & cupboards. There's also laundry, grocery shopping, cooking, and other regular stuff. And I will get a walk today, even though it's pretty cold out.

Guess I better get off the computer. Will report tomorrow how it went.

I would be ecstatic if someone other than myself did dishes here. What a nice thing to come home to!
