It's so nice to walk into that back room -- freshly vacuumed and aired out, then drenched in toasty warm scented candle smells for a couple of hours while I picked through bags of junk mail and sorted old cassette tapes -- and realize that it no longer smells bad in there.

It's also really nice to look around at what I still have left to do and realize that this hill is NOT insurmountable.

I am absolutely worn out right now, but it it is so worth it.
