This Monday is: tidying up after a tsunami swept through our house yesterday. Four hours later, I emerge victorious. My house is returned to better than normal.

I have been taking things out of all the kitchen drawers and washing surfaces. Clean looks good.

Am I procrastinating? No, I think I’m just readying myself to be excuse-free when I start Chapter 10 of the Crusader’s Hoard on Tuesday (that is tomorrow morning).
