wherein Liz takes a bunch of photos and does some slapdash tidying
I worked 9am-5pm at the rental office today instead of my usual 10am-6pm, so that I could then go work 5:30-8pm at Not the IRS where I had two tax prep clients.
The main thing I did at the rental company today was take a whole bunch of photographs of the stairwells, hallways, trash/recycling areas, and assorted utility rooms in one building, which I will use as references for my floor plans. I am not going to create total accuracy, but I do like to ensure I have doors in the right places and to reflect the places where there are random angled wall sections versus 90 degree corners.
When I got home, I spent a while putting away the remnants of my air-drying laundry, and then doing a quick tidy-up in preparation for my parents' arrival tomorrow evening. To be perfectly honest, a lot of this consisted of just straight-up chucking several containers of leftovers into the kitchen trash bin, along with a grotty old car cushion wedge that I had failed to throw out for... uh... several years now, and then chucking the trash bag outside into my trashcan. But I have produced a cleared off table we can eat at, as well as a cleared off armchair my dad can lounge in, so I will count that as a victory.
Last night I weeded out a bunch of clothes I no longer wear from my closets -- I think that was part of the same general tidy-before-company-comes impulse, though directed slightly diagonal to my usual efforts. Anyway, I now have a whole stack of neatly packed boxes in my front room, ready to be donated to one of the various re-use and goodwill operations in town. I must remember to load those into my car.
And now I think I will read fic for half an hour before falling into bed. :)
