awake yet

the room in which the work was done yesterday needs to be tidied. It is in chaos with tools left there where they had been used, all is covered in the dust of the wood sanded off the surface of the door.
Start by collecting the used emery paper from the floor, there is all kinds there. It is enough to fill a bucket, enough to overflow the bucket. Then sort the remaining good paper into sizes. Things are a little better now. Find the casings for the power tools, return these to their casings. Gather all the other tools and place them side by side on the scaffold, sorted by type. Hammers and other wood working tools, one array. Gather things lying about, bits of plastic packaging, put them into a yellow bag.
Now get the sweeping brush, and sweep the floor, all the dirt from the floor into a heap. Find the hand  brush, and the dustpan. Using these, transport the dirt from the floor to a bucket.
Things look better now, clear up the window ledges, remove the bits and pieces, discard old screws and nails that landed there. Then use a razor blade fixed to a red plastic handle , a scraper is what that is, to take the paint from the glass of the window.They are ready to be cleaned now.
And that is the mornings work, trying to get order into things.
It is important, so as to see what is to be done next.

Then go down to see if the family is awake yet.
