Any day where I can nap is a good day :)
Squeezed in the nap soon after loading Ma's laundry into the machine, shortly after lunch. Started with my own loads around eight this morning. Brought down about 98% from the washlines at eight this evening, and put my folding skillz to use. I'm afraid hubby may be slightly disoriented when he opens his shirt and shorts drawers - did some tidying up there so everything would fit. *grin* It's interesting how things can look so much neater by just aligning their edges.
Before the laundry loads, I cleared my ReadItLater list - actually, I was up at 5am today, just because my body wanted to be up, so I took the chance to get past them. Had a mini-breakfast of Campbell cup soup and two slices of whole wheat bread while reading. Once that was finished, it was time to tidy up the cat dishes and get the laundry started.
Between loads, I had a shower, a second mini-breakfast (fishballs and rice), edited the minutes of a board meeting that i missed - am the de facto reviewer/editor of all the meeting minutes - and sent it back for reproduction before the upcoming meeting on Wednesday. By this time, I was falling asleep on my feet, and it was a good thing the machine behaved itself and didn't stop halfway through cycles as it sometimes does.
Had the TV on in the background while I folded clothes, and hubby all settled in sleep. Saw a piece of Law and Order:SVU, and the tail end of NCIS. Little Walker-kitten was snoozing in my place on the bed - quite the picture of domestic felicity, it was.
Am still a little achy from having reorganized my room - yes, again! Bought three new plastic bins and reconfigured the modular cubes and their contents; now the room looks less cluttered and we actually now have a wide swath of clear space in the middle of the room. And I can actually see my full-length mirror again, no lie. No, I don't know what kind of alchemy caused this transformation, but hubby likes it, and the cats like it, and I like it. With the new configuration, the kittens are now playing "apartment hunting" with the modular storage, fitting themselves into the free spaces inside each cube.
I am dangerously close to buying a few more drawer-stye bins and taking down the modular cubes inside my clothes cabinet. *facepalm* On the other hand, there is a lot to be said for the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought, and it's not like I'm really sure I want to get new stuff. But if SM goes on sale at the critical period, who is to say? *evil chuckle*
A credit card statement arrived today, and happy day! I see that our bedroom TV will by paid in full by November. So now I know that it will be one year old - ye gods, how the time flies. The expenses for Ramon's last hospital confinement are down to two installments, I think; will have to wait for the statement to be sure.
Now off to do my evening ablutions. I'll be on Twitter for the rest of the night. :)

I've heard it said - and it does seem to work for me - that if you nibble at the edges of an organizing project, things are a bit easier.
Don't attempt to send everything off to the Salvation Army all at once; get one box, fill it up a little at a time, then when it's full, off it goes! Then the next box.
The idea is, once you get one corner of the cleanup area all sparkly and clean, everything else looks like it ought to be clean too, and that helps motivate you. I have corners in my office space that seriously need looking into, now that the year is ending. The dust bunnies...
