Already Done:

• pay painters (painted basement, 2nd floor, basement stairs, bathroom)


• wait for stairs to dry before walking on them


• packed up most 'extra' kitchen things - now in boxes


• donate unused clothes/shoes/electronics, etc.


• get a donation slip for next year's taxes


• install large shelf onto freshly painted basement wall


• put furniture back where it came from all around basement


• pack up therapy/work materials


• box up books


• move bookshelves down to basement to make additional room on main floor


• declutter and reorgainze craft/utility room


• vacuum/hoover basement... again.  and again.  and once again.


• post ad on craigslist.org re: free items to give away to someone who wants them (2" wood flooring, sink base cabinet, freestanding cabinets, light fixtures, bathroom vanity, wood drawers/doors from old kitchen cabinet, used sink disposal, etc.)


• respond to 47 messages in response to the above ad online


• meet 4 people to pick up most items - assist taking items to his/her car


• put packed boxes on bookshelves or stack neatly in corner of basement


• make sure to NOT pack b-day gifts for upcoming niece/nephew birthdays


• take out trash (several times)


• recycle unused boxes/recyclables


• make mental lists of all the other things i need to accomplish in a very short period of time


• switch out energy efficient light bulbs with regular bulbs - it's better light for showing the house, and that way i can keep my $$ bulbs for my new place, wherever that may be!


• meet with real estate agent, discuss all the $ i've put into the house & discussed the current housing market (and was told not to get my hopes up for breaking even...)


• have dinner with my former boss - have a marvelous time


• keep phone appointment (when i've been incredibly forgetful recently)


• take framed pictures/art down to basement


• patch walls on main floor


• touch up basement stair paint (because the painter didn't fully remove the carpet pieces... thus a big problem -- easily fixed with more paint)


• hire someone to do yard work - pick up all leaves & gumballs in front/back yard & under deck & in stairwell (definitely worth the $$ to have it done)


• sort things to take to work, give to coworkers, give to students, leave for next therapist (who takes my place) and put it in my car

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. vacuum upstairs


2. "stage" furniture on 2nd floor


3. clean sink/vanity upstairs


4. bring down extra unnecessary items upstairs

6. fold laundry that's currently in clean pile


7. vacuum everywhere


8. dust everything


9. declutter everthing - even closets and cabinets (which drives me crazy b/c I'm such a private person and I don't want strangers LOOKING in my cabinets/closets)


10. did I mention laundry?


11. make a list - go to grocery store...so i can eat real food - enough of these left overs!!!!!


12. tackle my bedroom (laundry, dust, declutter, sort into keep/donate, rearrange furniture)
