I make a mess getting organized LOL
What a long process for you this estate settling has been..So glad you are close to the end.
My trick at 'picking up' before company is this:
Take a wicker basket around the house,
and everything that is laying on a 'flat space',
put it into the basket.
Then take the basket out to the garage
to sort through later.
Everything except the dog (or cat)! LOL!
Happy Catur-Dogur Day!
