Oh, I remember. Weren't you cleaning FOR the cleaning crew? That's what I would have to do too. My house is too much of a disaster to let any cleaning people in! My H hates them, too. But I'm glad for you. A few times I've had people clean my house and it was wonderful. We have to move the stuff off the floor and shelves first and that's next to impossible. Radical acceptance is what I practice, though I just threw out a huge stack of annual reports from 2011 that were sitting on the floor next to our steps going upstairs! Some were even from earlier! If my H wants to go through the recycling, let him!
