Sleep was a bit hard to find and hold onto last night. I was exhausted enough that I started falling asleep while playing video games before midnight, but as soon as I laid down I couldn't fall asleep. And when I did fall asleep I rarely managed more than a couple hours. Then I was up before 6am and played an hour or so of Dragon Age Inquisition before I was able to go back to bed and sleep for another couple hours. I then got up and puttered around, finally going into the empty bedroom to take stock of what needs to be done.
I honestly haven't accomplished much today, but then I honestly didn't expect that I would. My legs are still sore after all the running up and down stairs from yesterday, and I'm not in the right mind set at the moment to really get much done. However, I have started washing the walls in the empty room to get ready for plastering all the nail and screw holes as well as the scratches and gouges from general living in the space for over ten years.
There are a LOT more holes in the walls than I expected there to be but such is life. I already know which wall I'm going to be doing first in terms of plastering and painting. I usually paint in sections anyways so that I can move things into the space as needed. But before I move anything in I really need to dig the vacuum out and make good use of it, spot clean with canned carpet cleaner stuff and a scrub brush. If I thought I would be able to get all the rooms down in a day or two I would rent a carpet cleaner but I know I've still got too much to do for that right now. But with some luck by the start of the next month I will have everything put into the various rooms, or ready to put into the rooms and all the walls painted.
I've eaten lunch and taken a couple of breaks so now it's time to get my ass back into the empty room to finish cleaning the walls and pick up the larger pieces of trash off the floor so I can vacuum.
