A Clean Table

At last, at last! And mind you, this one took several days. Before...

• diaper bag
• stacking blocks
• drywall screws
• shelf board
• circular saw (have I mentioned before that my partner has a habit of doing woodworking in the living room, using those two red chairs there as sawhorses?)
• flashlight
• dirty bowl
• knit cap (temperature is in the 70s now)
• seed packets
• mail
• big purple ball
• Ziploc bags of Easter eggs
• two shaggy rugs bought for the kids' playroom we're going to build in the basement
• ornament hangers (from my last craft fair, not Christmas)
• pants

And, um, that's just the top layer. Notice, again, that hardly any of this stuff is actually, you know, MINE. But I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and my partner helped me clean and now we have:

Below the table of course, is an empty honey container and a sock and a library book and a sandal. We've eaten at the table now a couple of times, but that was yesterday, and tonight before bed I have to go back and clean the whole thing off again, because today is a new day, and a new day brings new stuff to bring into the house and pile on the table.
