I walked into a nice clean house tonight! I spent most of the weekend (except for the time visiting with Mary, Patrick & Veronica) cleaning. There’s still a bit more to do, but most of the house looks really good and it was so nice to walk in the front door after work and not see stacks of ‘stuff’ piled up on most of the available surfaces in the house.

I spent a lot of time in my office on Saturday. I really don’t know how my desk and the table behind the desk wound up so full of paper. I think part of it had to do with all the working from home that I did during the month of October. As a result, I didn’t sort mail except for what I really needed. The rest got stacked up everywhere. Most of it was junk that needed to be tossed, but a lot also needed to be shredded. How nice to have that all cleaned up. I’m really going to try to stay on top of the junk mail from now on…or at least until the next project comes along where I don’t have time to deal with the mail.

After all that productivity at home, I went into work today and got tons of stuff done there. So much so that I am almost completely caught up on all my regular work. The audit stuff will be finished by the end of the week and I’m then planning to start in early on a lot of the year end stuff. Usually my office is stacked up everywhere during January and February since I haven’t had time to set up new files for the new year. I am going to do my best to have more of a ‘normal’ January this year. Last year I wound up with stress headaches almost every day and I don’t want to go through that again. Having an administrative assistant to help me really makes a big difference. Thank you, Anthony!
