It's been long enough since I updated this thing...
Matt's been going off to gaming in the early afternoon/evening on Saturdays recently (and will be, for an undetermined length of time) so I'm going to make Saturdays my cleaning/"me" day.
I will require one cleaning-related thing of myself, be it laundry or vacuuming or scrubbing all the counters, or washing the floors, or mending, or reshelving books in the library. One task that needs doing around the house that hasn't gotten done the previous week. I can listen to whatever music I like while I do it, I can dance, take short breaks... whatever is necessary, so long as the Task at Hand gets done. Afterward, I allow myself a luxurious bath (must get more bubblebath) with a hearty sugar-scrub scouring and then I get to play games or watch a movie. The rest of the evening is mine. At least until Matt gets home.
It sounds like these days we'll probably order dinner out, too, depending on money, so Saturday will be my one extremely relaxing day. My day to look forward to. Hopefully this will be the incentive to get my butt in gear the rest of the week and get things done! I think one of the things I'll do, in order to sort of keep myself to this, is make a weekly post as to what happened earlier in the week and what my Task for the day is. That way I have to sort of keep to it.
Today's Task: Divide up laundry into loads, bag the paper the cat no longer plays in, take all unneeded books in the living room into the library to be shelved. (several small things = one Big Thing)
