I looked long and hard at the broken TV remote control, but ultimately stopped caring. Maybe I'll fix it tomorrow. On the bright side, I've now cleared enough clutter out of the back room in the basement that you can see the floor again. And my wife packed up two garbage bags of clothes to be donated, which also cleared up some room in the bedroom. I'm so proud of her!

(They take up considerably more room than the unshredded sheets of paper.) 75  ✅  Clean off the workbench Getting rid of the shred pile was the main roadblock in completing this task, but it's done. And now there's a bike up ...
