Super progress

My mom was here for a week and did Everything. Seriously. It should be no surprise where I got my work ethic from. While she was here, she did most of the childcare hours, cooked a bunch of meals, filled half my freezer with food to eat once the new baby arrives, cleaned, and painted my living room. And some other stuff, probably.

This means I was very focused on my revisions. Not only did I have a lot of time to be working, I had guilt for any moment wasted (my mom is painting my living room, I cannot justify surfing the internet). I did manage to sleep a lot and put some mulch in my yard and go to a million doctor appointments, as well. And write. I am nearly done with my Big Revisions (cut, paste, refocus), so I am starting back through on my polishing revision. And then I should pretty much be done. Exciting!

My mom also did an excellent job of hunting down the damn meal moths that have invaded the house. They appeared at the end of June, so I had to go through and throw out a lot of random things - half-bags of specialty flour that had been sitting in my cabinets, dried beans, nuts . . . basically, all the grains, nuts, fruits, herbal tea, opened pasta, and unsealed chocolate. It was a lot of stuff. But I have a ton of room in my cabinets, now.

I was worried that I was breeding moths to land on the ceiling, as I couldn't reach to kill those. Mom got them. Since she left, I've only seen 2 more moths and I could reach one of them.
