Very slow start to cleaning today but I've cleared out a lot of junk hiding in the kitchen (years of plastic packaging that I meant to throw at redcycle, old teas and boxes of nuts) and tidied under the sink which is the one set of cupboards I know they'll check with good reason.

Off to meet friend and try to keep spirits up...

I have Monday off, figured I'd do the vacuuming + mopping + mass laundry to get rid of cat hair that afternoon after sox leaves. When I get back today I'll just continue with the decluttering and wiping surfaces so that it looks neat and tidy enough. That's doable.
