By way of an update, I have cleaned basically nothing in a while now

I really need to get to it, of course, but just haven't had any motivation! We don't decorate inside for Christmas because of our dogs, so there's no pressing need to do it.

Our table WAS clean for a little while, but now it's covered with laundry, cds, & some Christmas presents we just bought. You can still SEE the table, LOL, but it's not cleared off anymore.

We really need to vacuum the living room. My dog keeps pulling fluff off of her dog bed & it's all over the floor now.

My garage did have a cleaner pathway, but then some laundry fell over & messed it up a little, & I put my bunnies in the garage to get them out of the cold & keep them out of the house (it's too warm for them). So now my cleaner garage is a little less clean again

My gf did start cleaning the stairs, though, so about half of them look pretty good. She still needs to do the other half, LOL.

We'll eventually have to clean the table to wrap presents.
