Angelique, I hope you can find some help moving those boxes soon. It may take a while, but it will get better some day.

I think we have more than one size shelving unit, too. The only problem I have with them is that we organize everything on the shelves and then have room to pile more stuff up. No matter what our intentions are, it seems to happen.

I haven't been keeping up with my keeping the kitchen surfaces clear experiment. Everything got piled up on top of the microwave, counters, and stove again. I like how I can write that as if the stuff just magically appeared and didn't have anything to do with either of us putting it there.

I set a timer for five minutes yesterday and managed to make the kitchen look much better than it had. I remain amazed at the five minute bursts. Maybe I should live my life this way, working up to ten minutes at some point.
