so. much. to. do.

There is so much that needs to be done. Where do I even start!?

I've got to clean out the guestroom and office. That needs to be #1. Once all that stuff is gone (donated or sold), I can start re-arranging. The truth is, I just don't need so much shit in my life. I just don't.

I'd like the guestroom to be well, a guestroom. Maybe a large bookshelf could go in there. Anyway, that'll be a room that I can hopefully open up once it's nice and clean.
The office will be that-- an office. I'll need to do something about the couch and the rug, and I think Maddie's litter box will need to be moved. That room is just gross. I want a desk area, and curtains or something. I'll also need a pet area (pet + tool closet?) and keep softpaws on Maddie at all times.

Then there's my room. It just needs to be cleaner. I just have too much stuff in my life.

The kitchen is its own story, so I'm not going to worry about that too much right now.

The yard. Oh, the yard.

Front yard:
I need to trim the tree that overhangs my driveway
gravel my driveway
get rid of all of the leaves
plant grass
put up an awning
replace (or remove) the screen door
new screens on windows
garden stepping stones in the yard

Back yard:
fence, fence, fence.
cut down trees that I hate that are in my way
clean up kudzu
roto-till the lawn, especially by fence lines
plant monkey grass around the yard, and lantana.
build a pergola
raised garden beds

The bathroom, I need new tile on the floors. And I want to fix the window. I need to repaint in the bedroom, and fix the water spots. I want a backsplash in the kitchen, behind the sink. And new tile on the floor in there, too. New countertops. And maybe I can install a dishwasher instead of the cabinets on the left side of the sink.
