Spent yesterday with Mom (instead of today), and had a good time. Came home to a filthy messy house, and I'm just disgusted with myself over it. You know how depressed people have stacks of paper everywhere and a sink full of dishes and floors that haven't been mopped and painting projects unfinished? I just described my house. So today's mission is to make it at least presentable.
The primary reason I don't do hook-ups isn't because I'm a prude, it's because I'm a terrible housekeeper and I don't want anyone to see it. It's also why I don't have people over, I just don't want them to see how bad it is! So that's got to change. Part of my mission this year is to get a more active healthy lifestyle established, and I just realized that includes cleaning house too.
When I was with Mom yesterday, drove past a friend's house and saw that his yard has weeds as tall as I am. There was one time I went over there and helped whack them down to a "maintenance mode" level, but it's right back where it was again. I wonder if there's dog poo on the floor inside like there was the last time. Thinking about his place made me realize just how bad mine is, so I've GOT to fix it.
I'm not happy with the interior paint job, so I'm going to redo the inside of the house again. Maybe after that, I should have a "thank god it's finally clean" party? But that would just mess it up again. LOL, oh well, I'll worry about that later and just take care of today.
