Aside from the same old grind, I’ve had some excellent violent cleaning sprees, the most productive being yesterday before Isak’s birthday party, when Markus and I cleaned the whole place, full throttle, for 4 hours straight.

I may still need to wash chocolate cake off the ceiling and tidy up the new toy bomb, but the whole place looks tamer now. I think this will give me strength to press on and deal with some deeper layers of mess and clutter.
