Time for an update! On the first day the painters did get through everything upstairs (except two of the smaller closets, which I was using to get things out of the way while they worked there. They also got started on several areas downstairs. As they worked I emptied the pantry and readied the rest of their path forward. From there they finished the rest of the house on Sunday while I worked upstairs going through my clothes and purged rather than putting everything back into my closet (5 bags are in the basement to go).
My current state is a little like a tornado went through. I promised myself that I wouldn't just put everything away again without making some decisions, so the mess may remain for a little while. I did get the office put back together quickly (as was necessary), and reconfigured it to an L shape rather than a U shape. This also allowed me to pull the one table away from the windows so I can access them more readily.
The Halloween decorations that were previously up are back in place, but lots of other things on the wall need to be re-applied.
This past weekend Avery and I went to see my sister in Lock Haven! We had a lovely long weekend. I truly needed a bit of a break. Unfortunately, that means I made no progress on clean up over the weekend. But I guess w/ limited activities outside of the home and the high likelihood of additional lockdowns I suspect I'll have ample time in the next month or two to get it all in order.
