(26,727 posts)too many excess things, I ought to do this.
I have a cleaning service, because I HATE cleaning house, don't do a good job at it, and find the cost is money well spent. I've been out of town during the first 2 1/2 weeks of March, and my next scheduled cleaning is this coming Wednesday. Please, please, let it happen.
It is really easy to observe social distancing during the cleaning time, and none of you want to see what my place would look like if the cleaners can't come for an extended period. Although fortunately, none of you will get to see it.

(9,693 posts)The Clothes Project is done, 7 big trash bags to put in those bins. Now to organize/pitch the kids rooms (its been 10 years since either of them lived here). Fridge and pantry after that. But the worst is the basement. When my in-laws died we got TONS of their stuff - books, knickknacks, etc. - because my BIL has a little house with no basement it all came here. Is there any market for encyclopedia sets from the 60s?

The rest of the list is pretty manageable.
