January Cure - Day 3, Weekend Chores
Post from Apartment Therapy
Tara Belucci's account
The tasks for the weekend were:
- Buy flowers for your place
- Clean (vacuum/ mop/ dry mop) the floors
- Buy/ accumulate green cleaning supplies
I cleaned the floors. Sort of. And I've found out what my problem is - there's simply too much crap everywhere, which makes cleaning awkward. So, I guess I will have to de-crapify. I did some de-crapifying in the bedroom in October/early November, but I have a long way to do. (The bag from the Scary Drawer is now in my Outbox, or Outbag, since I didn't have a box handy.)
I guess it didn't help when I got an electric shock when I switched off the vacuum. I hate cleaning. However, I am glad that Tara Belucci can be so positive about it. Although I don't get the impression that she's started the actual cleaning of floors yet.
I was honestly stunned by how positively I reacted to today's task. Every time I see my flowers, I feel happy. Wiping down the counter is a burst of fresh, smile-inducing scent. All the while, I'm thinking, "I hate cleaning! What's happening to me?!" I hope you all are having bursts of happy, too!
Since I already have green (home-mixed) cleaning supplies, I can skip that step. And I can get flowers this afternoon or on Sunday.
