Quite A Lot

finished and thought you would be sleeping so I didn't call. I'm doing something wrong here. I worked all week, 63 hours, then got up at 7:15, and worked 16.5 hours cleaning up, Here's what I did:

cleaned the glass table in the dining room
ate dinner (at 10:30 PM)
Vacuumed downstairs plus basement and steps to second floor
Cat litter
Loaded the dryer
Reorganized the linen closet (everything was pulled out.)
Folded clothes and brought up the towels I folded to put in the linen closet
3 loads of laundry, including laundry left from last Monday
collected towels for a white load and pulled off a pillow case from a pillow in the LR
collected other clothes for a dark/cold load
threw out wasted food - a bag full
cleaned out the fridge including all of the glass shelves
reorganized the pantry, loaded in all of the food
Shopping
Plaster and sand
vacuumed
cleaned out the stove, half way because it's a disaster
cleaned out the burned-on batter in a muffin pan and a bundt pan
put away the dishes and pots
collected trash from what the little dog destroyed in the LR
cleaned up the dog poo and cat pee in the kitchen
replanted a Japanese maple in the spot formerly occupied by a oak stump. This involved taking off the lattice trim around the porch to dig the tree out since it was growing under the porch, digging the tree out, redistributing the dirt and making room to place again the lattice
moved collected branches to the curb
bagged 30 bags of leaves and twigs, moved 40 to the curb
edged and mowed the lawn in the front and back and wacked weeds
picked up and bagged all of the trash in the backyard including what D threw on the lawn from the veggie garden and that entailed picking out bamboo garden stakes from the piles.
took the trash to the dump
went to Home Depot, which was a chore since no one seemed to know where the paper bags were. Also bought spackle and washers for the upstairs bathroom
collected the trash including re-bagging an over-stuffed, bug-infested bag that was left open. The garbage can is always packed super-tight. Trash is never wrapped up. Put 5 bags in the trunk of the car.
Sanded.
Did not exercise as I thought I'd get plenty - I was right
Looked at CL
Got dressed for dirty work including my too-big pants and uncomfortable shoes.
Took a shower
Drank coffee
Let the dogs out
Cleaned up poo
Fed the animals and watered them.
Used the potty.
Woke up
FRIDAY
Got home at 11:30
Got into work at 9:15
Took Shel and Dawn to Newark Penn station, dropped them off at 8:20
Left the house at 7:20, after waiting 20 minutes for Dawn to be ready. She carried a full complement of luggage.
showered, shaved, Shell was already ready, thankfully
woke up at 6:15

THURSDAY night, came in at 12-ish after starting at 9:15

What I didn't get done is:
Taxes
Clean the car
Go to the Parsippany Pep Boys to complain about my brakes I just had done.
Maybe get an alignment.
Put more stuff on eBay
Relist the item that didn't sell
Fix my Mac
Sort out and clean up and photograph stuff to sell

Now I will eat Rum Raisin ice cream and go to sleep, because I'm just that type of girl.
