I've now ironed and folded 3 baskets overfilled with laundry. I have another 6 normal-fill-level baskets to go, and have taken 3 armfuls of ironed clothing upstairs to my Mother's closet. Did I mention that I don't like ironing? ^^;
In the process of doing said ironing, I have also "watched" Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Little Pony: The Movie (from the 80's), The Emperor's New Groove, and Quest for Camelot.
I have also cooked and eaten my dinner, changed the living room kitty litter, and cleaned/changed the filter on the cats' drinking fountain. :)
So, my to-do list is getting smaller, anyway. Not as fast as I'd like it to, but it is getting smaller. The down side is my feet hurt from standing on them to to said ironing. :(
The other down side is that I haven't even started on my crafts to-do list that I made for the weekend. Ah, well. At least I'll have the room for doing said crafts, though. ^^

Progress Report: Dining Room and Bath Room
Since my parents are on vacation, and also since I closed last night, I was able to make some progress on cleaning the house a bit. Since I used to have a steady opening shift for my retail job, I have a hard time sleeping past 7am, even without setting an alarm clock. Yesterday I was able to continue rolling over a few times until about 9am, which was just as well, since I' didn't arrive home until 11pm last night.
Since that left me with a few hours of time before I had to leave, I decided to get a bit of cleaning progress done. I cleared off the bathroom floor, swept it, and scrubbed it. Yay! I also cleared off and swept the dining room floor, so there's plenty of walking surface now. The cats are having a ball, when they're not chasing each other. Their toys are all gathered into one spot, Mom's shoes are all gathered into one spot - fewer trip hazards are always a good thing.
My plan for the weekend is to take care of the following bullet points:
O Fold Laundry
O Iron laundry
O Put away laundry
O Wash all dishes
O Clean counter top
O Clean stove top
O Clean fridge
O Soft plastic containers
O Organize cupboard
O Clear off the table by the window
O Put books away
O Dust TV area
X Sweep dining room floor
X Sweep hallway and bathroom
O Sweep kitchen floor
O Sweep living room floor
O Scrub kitchen floor
X Scrub bathroom floor
O Clean microwave
O Change the filter on the cats' water bowl
O Change the living room cat box
O Insulate around the windows
Yes, I know that last one isn't a cleaning task, but it's something we really need to do before winter sets it; those windows are pretty drafty. ^^; I've already made some progress on my cleaning list, which is heartening. I hope to get the laundry done today, which is probably the most boring task, especially considering that ironing isn't something I'm thrilled with. I'll probably select a few movies to "watch" while I'm working on it, and hopefully that watch will stay in quotation marks. :)

Not a Progress Report
There haven't been a lot of posts to this blog lately. This is in part my fault and also in part work's fault. We have a new scheduling system, and it doesn't care whether you're used to working the morning shift, of whether you'd like a steady work schedule. It just schedules you where it thinks you'll be best, time-and-day-wise. It will never care. It's a computer program. Takes a little bit of getting used to. For example, I closed at work last night, while for the previous few months, I was the opener. C'est la vie.
The my fault part of this is that I really haven't been making a lot of visible progress. I've mainly been concentrating on getting all the paper clutter in my bedroom taken down. This has unfortunately resulted in my room getting messier, though I can almost say I've another shelf free. It's about halfway there.
I've been trying to get my recipes typed into my computer (some of which are from magazines and the like, and therefore are scan-able), which in itself can be a slow process (mainly because it's boring), and is dangerous in and of itself, as it also tends to make me hungry. ^^;
Unfortunately, concentrating on this has had unfortunate side affects: the laundry has crept back up to daunting proportions, and the kitchen still has not been dealt with. However, the parents have gone on vacation up north for a few days, so while they're not home, I hope to make some progress in getting the house tidied up - and I've already made some progress for that! Things are looking up. :)
