Two days of massive spring cleaning! The house feels so much lighter, now. The big news is that #1 Son’s room no longer resembles a toxic waste dump. I can actually venture inside without fearing for my life! The transition is truly amazing. Monday we cleaned from stem to stern. Tuesday we cleaned and sorted, and took junk to the landfill, recycling to the transfer station, and donations to the appropriate places. There are still things that need to be delivered, but I can get a car in the garage again.
And the best thing about this venture? It was #1 Son’s idea! After the initial shock wore off (who are you, and what have you done with my son?), I decided to go with the flow. And I’m glad I did.
I have today as a vacation day, also, as I wasn’t sure how long the cleaning would take. Today I’m knitting. Maybe I’ll finally get somewhere on those socks!

let me add my voice to say we’ll miss...
Sounds like we both had vacation days..
I’ve obsessed on the toe up socks and spent about 4 hours today working on it. Starting to work the gussests, but I expect things will slow down again in the next few days as nursery work starts taking priority again.

I’m glad you’re enjoying your first toe-up socks. Next you need to do two at once!
Other chores took time away from knitting, but I made it about 1/2 way up the instep on my pair. I’m not ready to start the gussets yet. Or I may do a short-row heel. I haven’t decided. I guess I’ll decide when I get there.
