The place is a mess

We go on vacation in a couple of hours and the place is a mess. Seriously. I did the dishes and the laundry, but the floors haven't been swept, the living room needs to be vacuumed, and there are just piles of stuff lying around.
Ah well.
Otherwise everything is good. We got engaged two weeks ago. He's on a sabbatical and spent two weeks working at a Michelin-star restaurant. His pay was the big menu for two. 10 dishes including the amuse bouche and the petit fours. And it was just so good! And he proposed to me in the middle of the meal, between courses. He later admitted that he had proposed two courses later than planned because he was so nervous.
And he did it just right. Very personal. Not over the top. He gave a little speech and I realized he was nervous and then I got nervous and then he asked me to marry him and I said yes and then we were happy.
So, now back to packing.
