It’s been a great party when some people leave your house at five a.m., and some people don’t leave at all. And it’s so much easier to face the mess the next morning if you have a Tom around picking through the rubble with you, and then taking you out for a coffee and a chocolate glazed at the counter at Donuts Luncheonette.

Today: six hours of cleaning—including taking out nine large bags of trash (one big enough to hold a toddler); vaccumming and mopping every square inch of this place; and doing two loads of laundry and so, so many dishes.

There will be leftover mushrooms for days!
