Cleanliness is Next to Impossible
What to do, what to do with the time I have between taking a nice little breather (sort of looking at May as the four-week sabbatical I didn't get to take) and dedicated new-career-seeking activities? Well the first thing is a top-to-bottom cleaning of my house, something I haven't done in...ever. I'm not an enthusiastic housekeeper. Instead of cleaning the dust-bunnies from under the bed, I give them cute names and personalities. I only have 40-watt bulbs in the house ("mood lighting"). I purposely bought a really deep sink because from a distance it looks like there are no dirty dishes! The thing is, I would LOVE having a clean house always -- I just don't want to be the one to have to clean it. I loathe cleaning, but I enjoy throwing things out and organizing (somewhere My Darling Husband just felt a grave disturbance in The Force). Cleaning makes me tired. the thought of cleaning makes me tired. I became exhausted just thinking about beginning to make a list of the things that need to be done around this house. Calgon, Take Me Away! (If you are old enough to recognize that, then welcome to the Over-The-Hill Gang). Hey, wanna come over for a cleaning party? I'll buy the pizza!!

One room at a time! 3 bags/boxes/baskets Goodwill/Another room/trash. If you haven't worn something in over a year or it doesn't fit, get rid of it. If you have textured walls they need dusting too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's like how to eat an elephant...one bite at time!!
DeleteCleaning AND moving over here. All my parts hurt. And cleaning the rental after everything is moved out - way not satisfying :-(
