2. I say I'm getting ready for Halloween, to excuse my dust

I find what helps me, is to pick a spot in the room and just start there. Don't put the entire space in your mind, just concentrate on that one area. If you are feeling good about that one area getting done, then move to the next spot. I find when I do this, I am able to accomplish more than I thought of when I looked at the whole entire job and got overwhelmed.

I understand about no storage too, we went from a 3bdrm to a 2bdrm and had to downsize and I still have boxes stacked from the move last April.
Little by little.

good luck on Monday
